Basically, you put in the URL of the picture and then use the BBCode Image

You mean the signatures? Go to USer Control Panel, it's at the top of the site.

Profile > Edit Signature

Then just add the (img) address (/img) in the window, like a normal post.

Well, from what I can see in your signature right now you're trying to link something from the WoW Armory? That's not going to work....what sort of picture are you wanting as your siggy?

The problem with the signature you have now:

Code: Select all

[img]<iframe%20src="http://www.wowarmory.com/character-model-embed.xml?r=Draka&cn=Lonejacobs&rhtml=true"%20scrolling="no"%20height="588"%20width="321"%20frameborder="0"></iframe>[/img] 
Is that the URL you have does complicated stuff that the forum doesn't know how to interpret. Instead, let's try taking a screenshot of that and uploading it, like so:

Image

You can add that to your signature with the code:

Code: Select all

[img]http://forums.wow-petopia.com/download/file.php?mode=view&id=203&sid=7b2fe9996eb0fe66470e9ad96a77cf85[/img]
Unfortunately that image won't update as you change because it's just a static image. Hmm .. maybe someone else knows how to get the effect you want. Any suggestions, people?

I am really sorry to tell you that you can't link an applet.

The modelviewer in the armory is not an image, I'm afraid and so can't be displayed as your signature.
But, like mania said, some of us (Vephriel, Saturo and myself) can actually make a signature for you.

Just tell us what you want to have, what you have in mind and we try to help you out!

The forum is BBCode so you'll have to use BBC codes instead of HTML.
(It's too early in the morning for me to go into this conversation.)

There are some niffty sig creators like Zetbit (love this one) and Siglaunch (kind of boring).

Looks like the Zetbit one should work pretty well. Here's a quick one of my dwarf Kaet.

[Edit: I missed the EU/US choice.]

Looks like you got the error message.

Here's what my horrid hunter's looks like. (Don't worry, I'll start playing her again sometime since my druid's 80 now.)

These are too fun to make.

Yes, but it's a very attractive error message! *grin*

[Edit: And now I fixed it! I was trying to use the EU realms.]


Here, this one is working:
