Start making your signature !

How can I use my signature on forums ?

Once you've finished your signature, you've downloaded it as an image file (PNG) by clicking on the "Download" button.
But what about now ? If you want to use it in a forum you need to host it on the internet, this is how you can proceed :

  • Go on your search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo, ...)* and search : "image hosting"
  • You will see several free image hosting site as a result, just pick one :)
  • Here is a little list of the most known sites* : hostingpics.net, tinypic.com, imageshack.com
  • On this website you should see a little form where you can pick a file to upload. Click on it and choose the signature file.
  • Once the upload on the site is done, it will show you links and BBCode that you can copy/paste on your forum to use it.
  • There is a lot of different forums, I can't explain how to set a signature for all of them. Ask peoples on the forum for help if you can't find it in your forum profile.
  • For most forums, you can use a BBCode that looks like this : [URL="the-hosting-site-url"][IMG]the-image-url[/IMG][/URL].

"Why you don't host the signatures ?"

I would love hosting the signatures. But it will slow down the website so badly that it will become unusable.
Hosting content cost bandwidth for the server, bandwidth is limited. More bandwidth = more $$ cost for me (a lot more if I want to be sure it never slow down).
I can't do this unfortunatly :(
But if you show ads on the site and disable adblock, it can brings me some money. If someday I got enough money to buy bandwidth, I will certainly host files :)
