Just a simple Question to be answered?

When you want to ask out of character questions, discuss plots, talk about roleplaying or simply present your character’s bio, this is the place to do so. Small OOC bits may be accepted in the roleplaying forums, but this is the place for the larger posts. Do keep the topics related to the roleplaying however, otherwise go to the General Discussion forum.

Just a simple Question to be answered?

Post by Vasriina Frerahel »

If someone can help me it would be lovely! How do you make a picture appear instead of a link in your signature? New to this forum. Thank you.

[code:3hbsdgvx][img]http://insert.link.to.pic.here[/img][/code:3hbsdgvx]

Then put that as your signature in your profile. ^_^

Thank you so much for the help. Though my picture might be a little too big! :eek: So I guess I will just stick with the link. Tee-hee!

Not necessarily. I could resize it, if you want... What size do you want it to be?

*starts up PhotoShop*

...Also, where's the link to it? ^^;

Lets see, in your opinion do you think it would be a silly idea to put a bigger version of my character picture as my signature? or lets say you happen to see one of my posts and saw that my signature was a link with a text next to it explaining that it was my picture. Would you click it? or no?

The link is here.

Hmm... i'm definitely slice most of it off too though, lemme see what i can come up with...

[img:19rue85y]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7603 ... la1wh1.jpg[/img:19rue85y]

How's that? I could add some text if you'd like, too. Same with a border around the pic, or some additional edits... Feel free to ask ^^;

[b:19rue85y]Edit[/b:19rue85y]:

[img:19rue85y]http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8226 ... ycota3.jpg[/img:19rue85y]

Was bored, so i made this out of it... The text reads: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" in Drow. Again, if you want anything changed, feel free to say so ^_^

Wow! That's really cool. Yea, if you could make my signature like that or even more decorated without over doing it that would be very nice. I would really appreciate that. I just dont know a really good saying. Do you know one?

Also, do you know how to put my picture link, into just the word LINK instead of the URL?

[code:3ou2a5wf]Link[/code:3ou2a5wf]

Shows up as:

Link[/url:3ou2a5wf]

Here's something better though, which i'm using myself. In simpler terms, you're using an image for people to click rather than text, but it requires juggling a few tags at the same time:

Taking the bottom pic i made as an example:

[code:3ou2a5wf][url=http://server3.uploadit.org/files/ThingOfDust-defla.jpg][img]http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8226 ... ycota3.jpg[/img]
[/code:3ou2a5wf]

For a clickable pic, in this case:

[url=http://server3.uploadit.org/files/Thing ... g:3ou2a5wf][img:3ou2a5wf]http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8226 ... ycota3.jpg[/img:3ou2a5wf][/url:3ou2a5wf]

Just be sure to replace the uploadit link with the forum link to your profile and you're all set...

Speaking of, which alterations did you have in mind? I was just playing around a bit to show the options a bit, but did you have anything specific in mind?

Your a genius. Thank you for helping me.

Hmm. I like what you did with it already. Its awsome. Maybe the saying could be different. I am trying to think of what I could say...

Do you know a good saying for the Drow race?...Goodness of all the things to go blank on...

Which group?

For Lolthites you could go with something like:
"The strong shall thrive, the weak shall be purged, and Lolth will smile on our efforts"

or for something more comical
"Natural selection took too long so Lolth created the Drow"

Can't think of anything for Eilistraee or Vhaeraun as I'm unfamilliar with their personalities.
I never stab people in the back, it's much more pleasurable to be able to see the expression on their face.

Those are really creative!
I actually like those alot! Ix'Chimalxochitzin, if you can and dont mind. Can one of those be put around the border of the picture I chose as a quote. Whichever one fits and looks cooler, preferably the first one. Thank you so much, Vorrick for your input.

No problem.

Just found out though if you want the sayings in Drow for the first one "thrive", "purged", and "efforts" don't translate via the site-translator and for the second, "selection" doesn't.

It didn't translate 'efforts' either...

Original: The strong shall survive, the weak shall be cast down, and may Lolth guide our blades

Drow: L'gareth zhal dro'xun, l'yibin zhal tlu luth harl, lu'xal Lolth mrigg udossta velven

So yeah. You could either go for the english one, in which case there's no problem, or the Drow one, which requires some altering of the original sentence.

[url=http://www.eilistraee.com/chosen/language.php:2gsb1bqz]Click here[/url:2gsb1bqz] or on the Language tab at the top of this page if you want to see what other translations would look like, but please give the word about which version you're looking for here ^^;

Yea, I looked at that too.

I got it to translate similarly just the synonyms for thrive, purged, and works.

To "The strong shall live, the weak shall be gone, and Lolth will smile down on our work..."

or along those lines. I actually made a signature by how you did it, thanks for showing me too, Ix'Chimalxochitzin, tell me what you think of it. And if you can make it any better Feel Free! It was you that helped me in the beginning and I am sure can make it better.

Again thanks for the quote Vorrick.
