How to: link graphics to your threads

One of the great, never-ending questions of life. It's about time people learnt how to do it.

With the graphic you have in mind (you'll need the DIRECT url/link to the image, as well as the DIRECT url/link to your thread), and in your signature space, put the following:

Code:

 [[color=white]url=linktoyourthread][img]linktoyourimage[/img][/url][/color] 

With the current version of the forum, things have been made even simpler. Now all you have to do is click the button that says "insert image" in the menu above the editing space for your signature.

Hopefully this helped people perform the most menial of forum tasks, and cause less trouble for those who have had enough of it being asked.

 

this should be a sticky i see this question so much.

 

How would I go about putting multiple links? Like one to vouches, one to MM'ing, and one to a shop?

 

Ok I see what you are trying to do. Each image can only lead to one link. You have to cut your image into 3 separate images. You must make sure that its the exact size of each piece so it will fit in your sig. Like you have vouches, mm and gamer tag shop is what you are trying to link right?

 

Look at video's sig.

He's got a link to vouches, and one to OMM. I want to do that, with 3 different ones. How do I separate my signature, like you said?..

 

Yeah ok now we are on the same track.

As you see with video sig, if you highlight over it you will see that its not one full image but 3 separate images. You must make them 3 separate files not one. To do this you will have to crop them out one by one and carefully making sure they match exact.

For example, crop out "vouches" into one image and save it. Afterwords click on "redo" to return to the full image. And repeat.

I could do it for you if you want me too or unless you know how to crop.
