Can Someone Please upload my new siggy?

[Lady Jane]

I follow directions but just cannot seem to get it fixed. Thanks for any help.

What is your signature doing or not doing specifically when you try to change it?

 

[Lady Jane]

The URL does not work for me. I can make them, just not upload.

Dianne you need to upload them to an off site hosting service like photobucket and then copy the image code to use. If the url is not working then you are not using the correct code

Instructions are here HOW TO: SIGNATURES | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum

 

[Lady Jane]

Where do I find the image code and is that what it is called ?

 

[itzmered]

what service are you using?

 

[Lady Jane]

Photo bucket and this is the code when I embed
<iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid...=2C8047661AC61137!168&authkey=AHV3uGvZXRNireQ" width="320" height="235" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

It does not upload

 

[Lady Jane]

And here is the code for the sig I really want to use

<iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid...=2C8047661AC61137!169&authkey=AEE_7mGFFR8Dz4Q" width="320" height="137" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

The codes you're grabbing appear to be a different "language" than the one forums use. If there is one listed as a BB code and starts with IMG tags in square brackets, use those. Anything with the greater than/less than brackets won't get used. Instead of using the iframe tag, you can just use the URL for your image in the tags for img.

(I took a kind of roundabout way to get the original and full sized images - the OneDrive links take you to thumbnail pages with links, so when I saw the full size/original images, I right-clicked and selected Copy Image Location. Since these are your images, you should have access to the "direct link" for the images. If you do, you can copy this link and click the button on the forum to embed an image and just paste the link.)

It is the IMG code on photo bucket

 

[Lady Jane]

I go to signatures and hit the image button then paste in this code. Nothing happens except I get a small square top of image that is already there with an X. I think I will just give up on this effort. Thanks to those who are trying to help me.

 

[pinkdagger]

You don't need the whole code for your signature. Photobucket is assuming you're making a small window on an HTML page to put the image in - it's got a different context for the link it's giving you. The link you're receiving in the <iframe> code isn't an image either (I think it's the page to view the thumbnail of the image). Use this one:
https://dz2u3q.bn1304.livefilestore...vP0C2iV0plekVJWgUPvOp64Xkr7/Untitled-self.jpg

(Click on the link to open the full URL, and copy it from the address bar)
Click the image button and paste just this link and it should work.

 

[Lady Jane]

Thanks so much Pinkdagger. Your instructions worked!! Where did you get the link from in your message so that I will know how to do this in the future?

 

[pinkdagger]

No problem!

The <iframe> link you received had a link, so I clicked it and it took me to a page with a small version of the image. I clicked the smaller image, it took me to your OneDrive with the image on a separate page and a menu on the side with the image's information. Right-click the image, click View Original, and that opens up the image by itself in a new window as a .JPG. Copy the address bar from this last window and it should work. I'm sure there's an easier way when you're logged in as the person who uploaded it, but since it's all on OneDrive, I'm not familiar with what they provide you when you're logged in!

 

[Lady Jane]

You would think this process could be simplified. Thanks again so much for your excellent teaching.
