Being a noob.

I was wondering how you get the signature that I see many of you with?

Tried the link under membership I think, but they are all broken links too?

Typically takes 24 hours for your signature file to be created. The system does the autocreation at night so it doesn't slow down the webserver during peak times. I've got some spiffy new RIFT ones on the way but their not done yet.

Please don't consider this a criticism because its far FAR from it, but would it be possible to provide a wee bit more instruction on the sig page beyond "To use your signature please copy from one of the text boxes below:" for those of us not experienced in using code? Which of the formats do you use on the guild boards - BBC, HTML or does it not matter? Would it be possible to put examples of the end result with the codes so we know which end product is from which code? I can pay in cookies or pie :) eta: maybe a mention of the 24 hours for file creation?

As far as examples go, you should see an example above each custom signature section. It's titled "Example" and is followed by the image. I'm not sure what the problem would be if you couldn't see it though. BBCode is the new and improved version. It's safer against certain malware and it has less formatting issues. I'm not sure all forums are compatible with it but most modern ones are. What you need to do is to copy and paste the header you like the most out of the 3 selections. Then go to the forum signature part of your profile and paste it there. After that every post you make should have a signature following it. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks Bentmer, that helps quite a bit. For some reason I see the word Example but no image following it. :( If it makes a difference, I normally use Firefox browser. I just checked IE8 and I see a box with a red X in it but no image.

@Zashyn Thats the same I see, it doesn't load any pictures.

I'm using Chrome so I'm not sure what the issue is. My only suggestion would be trying to disable your addons one at a time and reloading the signature page to see if maybe one of the addons is conflicting with the images. I know when I used to use Firefox and used a bunch of addons, I had alot of compatibility problems lol. Hence the switch to Chrome and it's more barebones approach teehee.

All I see when I go to the custom signature page is broken image boxes where the examples are supposed to be. This began about 10 days or so ago. Prior to that I could view the examples.

@ Bentmer Not trying to be difficult, just this 'ol grey head isn't quite grasping what you're saying. I loaded Firefox, I run Firefox and as far as I'm aware I haven't added on any addons? What should I be looking for that might be causing conflicts?
