Hey guys. Just wondering how to put a picture in my signature. I try typing in the file name but then the file name shows up in my sig. Anyone care to help?

2

I want to know the same thing!

P.S> I responded to your MSTS question on the Trsin Sim section.

Well first your pic has to be on the web somewhere. Then you use the HTML code in your
profile under signature [“img”]http://home.bellsouth.net/coDataImages/p/Groups/179/179121/pages/443444/gatorhead.gif[“/img”]
but remove the quotes and it will look like this. Dave

That’s alright, I didn’t follow that, either!

6

Ok let me try this again> Go to your profile and in the sig box ( I know you know where that is) type in [“img”] without the quotes. Then type in your pictures web address. Then
type [“/img”] without the quotes. It will look like this (w/o " " ) [“img”] your pics address [“/img”] Dave

THANKS DAVE!

[%-)][oops][:-^] I think I got it and I think a lot of people will be[soapbox] about this picture, so I will remove it tomorrow [:p][banghead][banghead]

Hey lupo,
You might want to resize that a bit. Dave

It would have been one thing if it where an engine but a police badge? In case you didn’t know The UP police arrested a few railfans on public property.

10

How can the UP KGB arrest someone on public property. I could understand it if they were on UP property, but on public lands, sound like LAWSUIT time to me.[:(!][banghead][soapbox]

Hey bigboy,
Let me help you out. Copy and paste this into your sig box in your profile and remove the '" " 's.

[“img”] http://www.steamlocomotive.com/bigboy/bigboy.gif [“/img”]

and you will get this:

Hello dave,
is it possible to resize this pics? it is on the official UP website
and guys: I took this picture because. . . . . .
Yes, I do know what the UP police did and I am fully aware about your feelings about UP and
I thought it might be [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D] to see what commotion it would stir up, looking at the people who posted in the first time,
me being not anti up and pro laugh
LOL (what does this mean in US? in holland it stands for "having fun)

ps I deleted the pic link, now I know how to do that, I may put in a normal picture one day
and was afraid UP might charge me for the use of their logo[:D][:D][:D][:D][8D]

LOL = Laugh Out Loud

You can get some freeware image handling software online. Check tucows.com. I use LView Pro quite often. Lets me manipulate the images, crop, resize, even make them black and white and change the contrast, etc.

Larry, I know how to resize pictures that I have acces to,
but I used a link to a picture on an UP website, so I asked this for maybe there is a command to put in front of the [img] command to resize that.
I can do a mean photoshop make-over but these forum commands are new for me.

[:D] and your American LOL is about the same as dutch LOL, [:D]

15

I sort of figured out your UP Police thing was a joke. In fact, Ithought it was funny, I wanted to see what other people had to say about it.

16

Thanks Dave! I tried to put another big Boy pic in earlier but it was always an X. Thanks for the great Picture![:)][:)][:)][:)]

Must get round to posting some pictures of my modelwork - am vaguely planning a mini-website devoted to model trains - our ISP gives us free webspace that we’ve never used. Most recent projects were an old Rail Power Products 56ft well car kit, and assembly/handrail painting on an Athearn SF GP50 dummy - looks good with my GP60 in demonstrator paint scheme!

i personally like my sig. i had this made for me at a baseball site. i think it looks good.

Nice!
