Creating, Linking and Updating Signatures

I don't know if it's because it's Friday and my brain is fried or i'm just computer illiterate but I CANNOT figure this out....

I saved my splices as three images but then what? if I upload them to dropbox, they upload as three separate images. And then at what point do I add in my links and put my splices back together?

Sorry for not understanding!

 

This is the what I see for my signature. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I think I'm following the instructions but I can't the image to display... Thanks for the help! I'm linking the image using the mountain box to a public folder in dropbox.

Hi there, I am thinking that Dropbox can't be used to host an image? Normally you would use Dropbox to store your files and allow other people to download from it if you give them a link, but it is not an image hosting site. Can you upload your image to your gallery here at TLP and then link from there?

 

@rubygirl
What Ona said - you need to host your image on an image hosting site - or post it in TLP gallery and use the bb code from that.
Imgur is one I have used.
Google image hosting site, most are easy to use.

 

I think I finally figured out how to get my signature to start printing, squeeeeeeeeeee!!

 

Adding this from another spot on the forum where I helped someone else:

Siggy details:
- Signatures must be no larger than 600 x 300. I think that's pretty big, especially with my longer name, so I try to stick to 300 x 150. You can go smaller if you want, just no bigger than the 600 x 300.
- Signatures can be png or jpeg. If you created a transparent background, use a png file.
- Signatures can be linked to your gallery. They just need to meet the gallery requirement of 50% Lilypad product.

Updating your signature:
1. (If your siggie is TLP products ) After uploading your signature to the gallery, simply copy the Share BB Code link.
2. Look up to the right hand corner where your name is, and click on your name. The second link down is "Signature". 3. Click it.
4. Now you will see your previous signature, or if you've never done one, a blank box. You can type in this box, or you should have an image from the gallery to use. Simply paste in the code from Share BB Code box that you copied earlier.
5. Once you hit "Insert", you have the option of pressing "Preview" or "Save Changes". I like to preview to see how mine looks, but just make sure you hit "Save Changes" before you leave the screen!

 

OMG!!!! Thought I'd take advantage of DSD challenge for siggies... But did not expect this complicated way of inserting it... another site I use is very simple... just drag and drop from my computer...

 

You can do an easy method too... this tutorial is only a bit more complicated if you wanted to have different sections of a siggie linked to different places... like if you wanted to link up to instagram and Pinterest and your gallery.

If you just want a simple siggie you just upload it to the gallery and copy and paste the image link into the signature box. Looks like you figured that out already though.

 

Here is mine
