JMC, Buff & Doc...

[JMK]

your sigs await you all in your respective inboxes...

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah I got it thanks. One question how do I get it in as my sig I downloaded and then posted the place it was on my hard drive, in this case it was C:\unzipped\dookusig.jpg but it just shows that text, am I doing something wrong?

[JMK]

You have to have it uploaded to the internet somewhere. If you have nowhere to upload it to, just let me know.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Oh okay I misunderstood I have an account at yahoo and it lets me put photos in something called a briefcase do you think that would work and by the way if you made the other one go ahead and send it I might do what you are doing and change it every now and then, if you haven't made it yet, I'm in no hurry take your time and send it when ever you finished it. Oh before I forget I love the one you sent it is very cool, now if I can get it up.

[JMK]

now if I can get it up.
Dude! Watch how you say that! :headbash

:lol

I didn't make the other one yet, but I'll eventually get to it. Your briefcase at yahoo should work fine as long as it assigns your pic a URL.

[JMK]

now if I can get it up.

Dude! Watch how you say that! :headbash

:lol

I didn't make the other one yet, but I'll eventually get to it. Your briefcase at yahoo should work fine as long as it assigns your pic a URL.

[Jedi Master Carr]

LOL I didn't even realize I made that pun:D Okay I put it the URL in but it is still coming out as text could I be doing something wrong or is yahoo's doing.

[Jedieb]

JMK's altruism has inspired me! Buff, I noticed you don't have an avatar. (That's the little picture the rest of us have under our username you hairy ape!) So I went ahead and made one for you. Here's the link;

www.yavin4.com/humor/buff.jpg

This may take those meathooks you call hands awhile to type in, but I think it'll suit you just fine. Let me know if you need any help setting it up.

[JMK]

Glad to see! Paying it forward! :lol

JMC, this may sound silly, but make sure that when you post you check the box that says "Show signature". If that's not it, there's something else you can do, but I'm not so swift at it...

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am pushing the button unless I can't see it I'll push it again and let me know if you can see it. I am wondering if its yahoo they could have some kind of encription that is preventing it to come on here.

[JMK]

I noticed that in that link, in "Dooku" the "D" is capitalized. Did you do that? If so, try making lower case and then just make sure you're clicking in the box that says show signature.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I'm not sure if I did or not but I will give it another try if it doesn't work they I'm think its yahoo also would all those letters and the ? mark at the end make it harder for the site to read it?

[Jedieb]

JMC, I tried to look at the pic but I got a message saying I couldn't access it through my server. They may not be letting the pic load up from there. I'm just guessing here, I could be totally off base but you may have to upload it someplace else. If you can't find anyplace I may have a spot for it.

[JMK]

Yeah, I agree, it looks like this thing isn't cooperating for you. I think you should look for another place to upload it. Both Jedieb and I have places to upload it to...

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think I figured out why it wouldn't work its because some reason the thing is listed as being private. I guess that must be the default I have never even used the thing before so I didn't know there was a public/vs pvt. Now lets see if it works finally. If not maybe one of you can let me borrow a spot to put it.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well that didn't work looks like the idiots at yahoo won't even let it be viewed outside their space at all :verymad . Says a lot about yahoo I guess, so which who would like to lend me a hand in getting it uploaded.

[Jedieb]

Since JMK probably has a copy on his hard drive it'll probably be easier for him to upload it somewhere. But if there's a problem just e-mail it to me and I'll try to get it up... I mean UPLOADED later tonight.

[JMK]

Copy and paste this URL into your sig spot in your profile. And yes, the .txt extension is right for some reason. Don't ask...

http://www.geocities.com/kroussel2001/dookusig.txt

[Jedieb]

Man that's a sweet lookin' sig! Excellent work yet again JMK!:smokin

[JMK]

Thanks, I think I'll continue making them one at a time for whatever ideas I come up with, but the ideas are getting scarcer since I haven't got the 3rd trailer on my HD...

[Jedi Master Carr]

It does look cool I hope it worked this time

[Jedi Master Carr]

Darn I guess it wasn't yahoo, I guess it must be something on my end anybody have ideas what?

[Jedieb]

Try copying and pasting this as your sig:


HTML
BODY
<font color="FF0000">
<center>http://www.geocities.com/kroussel2001/dookusig.txt</center>
/BODY
/HTML

You'll have to add < > in front of and behind HTML, BODY, /BODY, and /HTML

[JMK]

Geez, now I'm at a loss. Try pasting the address into the signature line again, and resaving your changes.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Nope still no luck, I can't figure out what the problem is. Is there something on the profile options that needs to be selected.

[Jedieb]

Oh crap I give up. Let me try emailing it to you JMC. Then just paste in the sig box in your control panel. Stupid HTML!!!!!

[JMK]

Dammit I'm an idiot.

Paste this in there instead:

[img src="http://www.geocities.com/kroussel2001/dookusig.txt]
Instead, change the "[" and "]" for "<" and ">"

THAT should work.

[Jedieb]

That's what I was trying to say!!! STUPID HTML!!!!! :shootin

[JMK]

Technically it's not working yet, but I CANNOT believe it took me that long to figure that one out...

:lol

[Jedieb]

As a mod I feel it my duty to point out this thread is in the wrong forum. So let me take care of that by saying the following:

If this thread were a movie it would be the lowest grossing film of all time. In fact, JMK, JMC, and Jedieb would actually be forced to reimburse any moviegoer unfortunate enough to see it plus pay damages. So I'm thinking we'd owe $150M. Any other guesses?

[Jedi Master Carr]

Lets see if this works

[Jedieb]

God I think I'm gonna cry...

[JMK]

On the bright side, we'd be the biggest failures EVER! Not some middle of the pack losers! :rollin

[JMK]

Is this the ONLY thing in your signature box?

[img src="http://www.geocities.com/kroussel2001/dookusig.txt]

the properties of that image show MUCH differently...

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well at least we are going down in flames. So I guess it didn't work or is not just up, regardless at least it is not text.

[Jedieb]

WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!

If nobody objects, I'm going to move this thread to General Discussion. I think it's effectively brought the forum to a screeching halt. Objections? A link will still be there so buff should be able to find his way when he gets here.

[JMK]

That's fine with me. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I repasted it, if it doesn't work which ones am I suppose to use these<> or this []

[Jedieb]

<> I think

[JMK]

< >
Those ones. Don't worry, we'll get this damn thing working...

[JMK]

Well techinically this should be working. I just stole the sig to see if it work, and it is working for me. Are you certain that what you have pasted into your user options is correct?

[Jedi Master Carr]

are those quotes suppose to be there because I can't think of anything else. I guess if any thing at least there will be activity in the General area.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think its correct I past what you posted but any way here is the url when I click on properties on what should be the sig http://www.geocities.com/kroussel2001/dookusig.txt>

<font%20face= does that seem right

[JMK]

Yes, the quotes are supposed to be there. They surround the web address.

Just copy and paste this exactly if you haven't already.
[img src="http://www.geocities.com/kroussel2001/dookusig.txt"]
Then replace the [ for > and ] for > and it should work.

[Jedieb]

JMK, maybe we could e-mail him the text and then he can just copy and paste it? Any how, I'm crashing. I've got breakfast duty tomorrow morning. It's the only way I can get away with watching 10 hours of NFL football on Sundays. Night, night boys!

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well I finally got it to work maybe I did paste something right I'm not sure but regardless it works Thank you JMK and Jedieb for the help.:crack

[JMK]

WOOHOO!! I hope you like it! Actually, not that I'm looking at it, I kinda don't like the Dooku image in the middle. If you want to get rid of it, I'd be more than happy to remove it. Just kidding, it's all yours now, if you like it, it stays....

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think it looks really cool when the new trailer come out we will probably have better pictures of him still send me the other one when ever you get it done, I might want to change it later on just to try to have a different look occaissionly. Again thanks for all the help.

[JMK]

No prob, you're more than welcome. I enjoy making them, and hopefully everyone will enjoy having them. I came up with a new one last night, but I'm gonna hold on to that idea for awhile.
Your alternative one was an Anakin/Padme love thing right?

[BUFFJEDI]

Hi guy's working on may sig and avatar BUT geo cities doesn't seem to want to take my sig pic:( I've done it before but for some reason it ain't now:( :( :( know any other host's



thanx Buff

[TheHolo.Net]

I gave some instructions for a little trick that fools the geocities image hotlinking restrictions in the "Testing" tread a couple down from this one in this forum. Here is a link to the thread.

http://www.swforums.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7025

My instructions are near the end of the thread.

[JMK]

Buff, if you follow those instructions from swfans.net, you'll be fine. I'll tell you what *seems* to have worked for me;

1- on your server (geocities), make sure you havethe .jpg file, then change the extension to .txt and then put the .jpg file back on the host, but don't delete the .txt file. Next, copy and paste the URL of the .txt file into your user cp window where it asks for the signature link. Follow? If not, just post and we'll keep trying.

[Doc Milo]

Thanks for the sig JMK! Now, reading through this thread, I'm wondering if I'll have any trouble. I just got a new host for my web page, but I don't know if they allow any other site but my own to view the images (it's a free host, so you never know...) Anyway... Let's see if this works.

[Doc Milo]

It works!

Buff, if you can't get it figured out, I'd be glad to let you park the image in my web space.

Just email me. (drmilo@optonline.net)

[BUFFJEDI]

Emailed ya :) just let me know what tado.When you get the chance.


Thank you

Buff

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hey JMK I forgot to post yesterday yes the Ani/padme is the alternative one I want just send it to me when ever you get a chance.

[BUFFJEDI]

[Doc Milo]

[img src="http://www.drmilo.net/buffjedi/sig.jpg"]

Of course, replace [] with <>

[BUFFJEDI]

lets see if I did it right

[BUFFJEDI]

OHHH DoC, if you were'nt a guy I'd kiss ya:clap thanks a million

[Doc Milo]

Just gotta keep remembering to click on the show signature box.... :) Glad to help.

[BUFFJEDI]

oopss will do :D Now to get my avatar EB(s) gave me up.I think even I can do that now:smokin .Thank you agian

[darth_mcbain]

Just testing out my new sig and want to say a big THANK YOU to JMK for creating my sig pic. Excellent job... :smokin

[JMK]

My pleasure. Its always fun to much around in photoshop with Star Wars images. Of course, I seem to have established a certain style with these sigs, but then again, Lucasfilm wouldn't have it any other way, would they? :lol. I'm glad you like it. Let me know if you want to switch it for something else sometime...

[Doc Milo]

Hey, JMK:

Here's an idea for you. A split image of Hayden's face on the right, and the Vader mask on the left. Maybe even a blue/red lightsaber split image along with it...

[BUFFJEDI]

Hey JMK,could you put like someone(you know a buff dude) in a sig somewhat like DOC is talking about;) if you had the pic?:D like half buffdude half vader suit.just curious:angel

[RHJediKnight]

Let's see if this works...

[RHJediKnight]

Trying this again...

Sunuva! Okay, Geocities is being a pain.

[RHJediKnight]

One more time...

[darth_mcbain]

RH, If you are trying to link an image from Geocities, try renaming the file to have a .txt extension and linking that... Geocities gets testy about linking images from outside pages...

[JMK]

Sorry Buff, I didn't see your post. But to answer, I suppose I could! :)

[RHJediKnight]

Think I've got it this time. Let's see.

[RHJediKnight]

Eureka, it works! I dunno how, but it works!!!

Well, it was working, but now it isn't. Weird...

[Doc Milo]

Hey RHJediKnight:

Got your email. The pic has been uploaded.

It's located here: "http://www.drmilo.net/rhjedi/jango2.jpg"

[RHJediKnight]

Yep, I got it. Thanks Doc. :)

Nice pic, JMK!

[RHJediKnight]

::sigh:: It's doing it again.

[Doc Milo]

RH -- there's nothing wrong with it (if you look at your previous posts, you'll see the pic) You just have to remember to click the "show signature" box with each post...

[RHJediKnight]

Oops! Heh...I thought I had been doing that. I'm so used to just clicking something that always automatically shows my sig with each post, that's all. Okay then...

Thanks for the help, Doc.

::walks off, feeling like a dork now.::

[darth_mcbain]

Sig looks great RH...
