signature pictures

[duncan drennan]

I was messing around with my signature, and saw the option to upload a signature picture. I did this, and the picture displays correctly in the area for this, but when I try to insert it into my signature I just get the link text, rather than the actual picture. Any ideas what the problem is?

When I click the "Insert Signature Picture" link, it places these tags (without spaces)

[SIGPIC ][/SIGPIC ]

and this text appears in the actual signature,

image.php?u=19&type=sigpic&dateline=1157275752

Oh boy - a new toy. It actually works like that!!!

You can drag around the code to relocate the picture too. Could take a bit of tweaking to get a neat format going, though. Probably best if you are putting in a logo.

Here's my code for the signature below:

I figured out what my problem was...I had it set to not display images inline (in the Edit Options section), so neither my pic, nor yours displayed, just a link to the picture. Turned on the option to display pictures and viola!

I also wrapped my logo in the [url] tag so that it is clickable

Duncan, could you post the code as an example for others?

Just wrap it in the php code tags so that it isn't executed when the page is rendered.

Just realised that I can add a tooltip to the image in my signature which will hopefully result in the search engines picking up my company name by doing this,

Note the "Engineer Simplicity" between the SIGPIC tags. Hovering your mouse over the image will bring up the tooltip "Engineer Simplicity". Hopefully the search engines will pick up on this.

I've just looked at the source code. It gives the image an ALT tag - a good move indeed!!
