Inserting Images into your sig.

[FrozenShadow23]

I see tons of people with pics in their signatures, how do you do it? Probably pretty easy, but I can't figure it out.

A link is all I get everytime.

<img>Put the IMG URL in here</img>

You need a URL, without the ?etc.

replace < with [ and > with ]

Adding Images

To include a picture or graphic within the body of your message, you can simply surround the address of the image as shown here:

[img ] type the whole url address here with no spaces [/img ]

Note that the http:// part of the image URL is required for the [img] code.

You can even create a thumbnail-type hyperlink by surrounding your [img] code with a [url] code like this:

[url =the complete url address /logo.gif ][img ]http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/images/vb_bullet.gif[/img ][/url ]

What is vB Code?

vB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use vB Code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.

URL Hyperlinking

If vB Code is enabled in a forum, you can simply type in the full address of the page you are linking to, and the hyperlink will be created automatically. Here are some example links:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/
www.vbulletin.com
Notice that if the address begins with www. you do not need to add the http:// part of the address. If the address does not begin with www. you will need to add the http:// section. You may also use https:// and ftp:// links, and these will be converted into links.

If you want to include the vB Code, you may simply surround the address with [url] tags as shown below. (The vB Code tags are shown in red).

www.vbulletin.com/forum/

You can also include true hyperlinks using the [url] tag. Just use the following format:

Click here to visit the vBulletin forums

This will produce a hyperlink like this: Click here to visit the vBulletin forums.

Note that once again, you need not include the http:// if the address begins www.

Email Links

To add a link to an email address, you can simply include the email address in your message like this:

[email protected]

Note that there must be a blank space, such as a space or a carriage return before the beginning of the address.

You can also use vB Code tags to specify an email address, like this:

[email protected]

You can also add a true email hyperlink using the following format:

Click here to email me

This will produce a hyperlink like this: Click here to email me.

Bold, Underlined and Italic Text

You can make text bold, underlined or italicized by simply surrounding your text with tags as shown below:

some text produces some text
some text produces some text
some text produces some text
Using Different Colors, Sizes and Fonts

You can alter the size, color and font of text using the following tags:

some text produces some text (colored blue)
some text produces some text (size 4 text)
some text produces some text (using courier font)
You can also combine all the various text formatting tags. This example uses bold, underlined, purple text:

Wow there's lots of formatting here!

This example produces this:

Wow there's lots of formatting here!

Bullets and Lists

You can create bulleted or ordered lists in the following way:

Unordered, bulleted list:

• first bulleted item
• second bulleted item

This produces:

first bulleted item
second bulleted item
Note that you must remember to close the list with the[/list]tag.

If you would like to create a list ordered numerically or alphabetically, this is just as easy. You simply need to add a little extra code to your

• and

tags. The extra code looks like =1 (for a numbered list) or =A (for a list from A to Z). Here are some examples:

[list=1][*]this is the first numbered item[*]this is the second numbered item[/list=1]

This produces:

this is the first numbered item
this is the second numbered item
[list=A][*]this is the first alphabetically ordered item[*]this is the second alphabetically ordered item[/list=A]

This produces:

this is the first alphabetically ordered item
this is the second alphabetically ordered item


Adding Images

To include a picture or graphic within the body of your message, you can simply surround the address of the image as shown here:

http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs//images/logo.gif

Note that the http:// part of the image URL is required for the [img] code.

You can even create a thumbnail-type hyperlink by surrounding your [img] code with a [url] code like this:

http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/images/vb_bullet.gif

This produces a link like this: .

Quoting Other Messages

To quote something that has already been posted, simply cut-and-paste the text you want to quote, and enclose it as follows:

No. Try not.
Do or do not, there is no try.

The [quote] tags will automatically indent the enclosed text.

The Code and PHP Tags

If you want to post some programming source code, or perhaps some ASCII art, which would require a non-proportional font, you can use the [code] tag to achieve this. For example:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
alert("Hello world!");
//-->
</script>

In the example above, the text enclosed in the [code] tags would be automatically indented, and the spacing would be preserved like this:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
alert("Hello world!");
//-->
</script>
A special case is for code written in the PHP language. If you are posting PHP code, you can enclose the source code in [php] tags, and the script will automatically have syntax highlighting applied:

$myvar = "Hello World!";
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
echo $myvar."\n";
} 

This would produce:

$myvar = "Hello World!";
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
echo $myvar."\n";
}
Incorrect vB Code Usage:

http://<a href="http://www.vbulletin...lletin.com</a> - don't put spaces between the bracketed code and the text you are applying the code to.
[email][email protected] - the end brackets must include a forward slash ()

I have read all that in the vB Code help file, but I still can't get it to work. I type "http://frozenshadow23.012webpages.com/Store/Bebop.jpg" but it just comes out as a hyperlink still. Oh well, thanks though.

[FrozenShadow23]

Note: i enclosed the above hyperlink in the [img] and the closing tag as well. Does it matter that [img] is turned off in the thread?

[nasrules]

rite here goes:

replace < with [ and > with ]

<img>http://frozenshadow23.012webpages.com/Store/Bebop.jpg</img>

if that dont work, try this (dont replace the <> this time)

<img src="http://frozenshadow23.012webpages.com/Store/Bebop.jpg">

[FrozenShadow23]

<img src="http://frozenshadow23.012webpages.com/Store/Bebop.jpg">
and http://frozenshadow23.012webpages.com/Store/Bebop.jpg

[FrozenShadow23]

Well good, Nothin' and a whole bunch of it. I tried the <img>url</img> (replacing the < and the > with [ and ]). And I tried the <img src="URL"> (Thats HTML, I've already tried THAT before because I am a web designer)

[lion7718]

This is how I did mine:
(URL=http://Site Address Here] (img]http://Host Address Here.jpg[/img)[/URL)

Replace the 4 ( ) with [ ]

[MusikBeatz23]

I tried using this in my sig and it workedhttp://frozenshadow23.012webpages.com/Store/Bebop.jpg but it displayed an error image...!!! try using another picture

[CCSDUDE]

Frozen...get a different host...they don't allow hot linking.

Any old auction site should do it....and if you must use something like lycos....remove the image format.

in place of bebop.jpg rename it to bebop thats it..no .anything

Upload it and link to that with a / after the end...it should work with image code in your signature..

Forum image code is turned off.

I'm losing my patience here. I've tried all what you guys suggested and can't get my image into my sig anymore. I just went in today to change my sig pic. I re-did it using the same format as usual and now nothing works. This is driving me crazy. All I get is a lowzy link and I feel like a nOOb again. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr help.

Remove the space.... [img*]NOSPACEHEREhttpblahblahblah.com[/img*]

see what you missed?

Remove the *'s....had to put them there to stop it from actually reading the code...

Edit: You may also be having a problem with (blah) in the actual images name...change it if you can as well. Cuz if I remember right most boards take that as dumbed down HTML as well.

[Wolfie]

Yea, I sometimes miss a space between the brackets and the link text and that's how it shows up.
