Yes mine was done by captain bluebeard. He does great ones. Photoshop is a great way to make a sig if you have it. If not there are people round here who will do you one.

Good day.

This is simply how to get a potoshop account and make a sig.

Go to www.photobucket.com and click sign up.

Sign up along with the instructions. Check your e-mail and activate your account

Now create your sig. You can take a snapshot of a ship or do whaetever your want. Remember, it must be a Bitmap, PNG, GIF, JPEG. It cannot be anything else AND, the best sig is a rectangular one, remember that.

So, create your sig, and when your in photobucket, click on where it says "hello, (USERNAME)" on the top right corner of the page. Now click "choose files" were it says upload pictures and video and select your signature.

Wait for it to upload and it should appear on the bottom of the page. Hover over it and something will come up with img codes and e-mail codes and web addresses for your pic. The bottom one is the img code. simply click on the code and it should highlite it and say "copied"

Okay, you have your sig. Now come back to the forum (hello! ;D) and click on PROFILE. On the sidebar, click on "Forum profile information" and scroll down to the white space with the word "signature" beside it. Paste (Ctrl V) or (right click paste) and click submit. Your pic should be in your signature, now.

*edit

I have made a photobucket for you. Forget the signing up steps. (You can also send me your sig so I can upload it and give you the code. Also, there are quite a lot of members who are eager to create sigs for you) I am not one of them. TJK is one (Now known as Captain Bluebeard of something) there is also Firestar12 and a few others.)

or just upload it on tinypic.com

Cause you dont have to make that account thing....
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: Agent|Austin on December 22, 2008, 01:13:56
gloat, there is no reason to make an entire photobucket account just to upload one image. -.-
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: Mad_Fred on December 22, 2008, 02:09:39
And I would like to add to that, that it's can be looked upon as being rude, to go and make accounts for other people, since you're almost assuming that they can't do that for themselves that way. Specially when there is an email required. did you use his adress for that, from his profile? That would be very rude, to go and apply for things with someone else's adress, without consent!

Better to just point someone in the right direction with a link, and an offer to help them if they need it.

So give advice, but let people take care of their own things, unless they ask or give you the green light!

No worries tom, undoubtedly it will all get sorted..
Hope you've gotten a bit wiser about how to create a sig.. ;)
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: Nathan|C on December 22, 2008, 15:22:41
I think Gloat is getting confused between Photoshop and Photobucket.

Tombaker meant "Can someone make a Signature for me"

Hi,
   Thats good to know, I don't have photoshop so if there is anyone that would like to make me one (A signature) i will be very greatful.
Thank you
Tom

What are the best sizes for the signatures?

Also, Can you do the animations on Photoshop?

Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: Agent|Austin on December 22, 2008, 18:54:37
You can do animations in Photoshop ($645) but not "PhotoBucket" they are different things!
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: The Ferry Man on December 22, 2008, 19:06:54
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 5, is this any good for animations?
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: Agent|Austin on December 22, 2008, 19:20:37
I don't know if Photoshop Elements has animation. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 (not extended)... I don't really like animations though, but I have always liked my sigs to be plain and to the point...
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: The Ferry Man on December 22, 2008, 19:25:34
I'm not to concerned about animations. Any idea about what a good size for a signature is?
Title: Re: Signitures
Post by: Agent|Austin on December 22, 2008, 19:31:23
I usually do something around 400x100. Although the max for ship sim is Wx90 so any width nothing over 600 I would say, height will be 90 or lower or else it will shrink it to fit and it will look funny.

Having a look, I can create a flipbook, which is just a series of pictures played one after each other. It saves as a 'Windows Media File'. Could this be used as a Signature?
