the pic must be online somewhere (your ISP often gives free web space)

To insert the pic into your sig you use the forum code
and this will show your picture. To get the full address of a pic on the internet, right-click and select 'properties'. Then double click the address to select it and when selected then right click and choose copy.

You need to put [ img ] and [/ img ] before and after the web address. - remove all spaces. ;)

The real easy answer to this is to e-mail the piccy you want to webdunk.

He will only be getting drunk and enjoying himself if you dont give him something to do !

Killian is also very good at this sort of stuff but seems to be keeping quiet about that lol

What camera did father christmas bring you?

I've only got a £50 digital dream, it works but thats about all.

I did consider asking santa, but he brought me a radio controlled stealth bomber, so not all bad lol

it was as posted , but to reduce the size of the pic , i went into my pictures , right clicked on the desired pic and selected edit .

 i then went to stretch/ skew in the image toolbar and reduced it to 10% on both , i saved it and sent it to my photobucket album . then copy and pasted the url to my pbmw sig . voilaa . 

 i tried to change my avitar , but havnt been that good yet !! that bloody blonde thing again !!!

Its all down to pixels. If you want to reduce the size both in download time and actual visable size you need to edit the picture and resize in pixels. You then descide how many pixels of width you want and the length will automatically adjust. Does this make any sense?

Nigel: I may be good at this sort of stuff (thanks) but unfortunatley I was staying with my out-laws in Northern Ireland (IIRC the place with most BMWs per 1000 people in europe outsite of Germany)

daddy_cool: Nice cars! Further to Sohlman's message, open up the image in a graphics program (whatever is on your system) There should be a way to resize the image. The avatars are 64 pixels by 64 pixels (a pixel is onbe of the small dots on your screen (look really really close!). Save the resized pic and upload onto the internet it and you can then use it by changing your profile. Failing that - email it to me ( mailto:bmw@kbannon.com - bmw@kbannon.com )
