Hello!

I'm having some trouble putting a signature banner. I have it up on Paint, and the size says 300w x 99h, which I think fits the forum guidelines, but when I try to add it I get a "size could not be determined" message.

I was trying to use imageshack to host it, if that makes a difference.

David do you have it saved as a bmp or a jpeg? I'm not really sure why it won't work... you could try Photobucket, it's what I use.

If you need more help let me know... If you want you can pm me the address for the banner and let me see if I can get it to work.

Hey Jaime :)

Hmm. It's .jpg at the moment. I'll PM you the link.

EDIT: Got it to work! I was copying the wrong image link. Dur. :oops:

Thanks anyway Jaime!

YAY! You got it! Though it sucks I didn't get to help and btw that's one of my favorite paintings, not sure I ever told you that or not.

Woot Woot David!

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I need some Photobucket Help.
So is there a way to get two or more different pictures on the edit "table"?
So you can cut, color, and bunch them all together.

Anybody that has info can either PM me, or post it here, and I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I would like to create my own banner but not sure what the best way to go about doing that would be. I'm really not very tech savvy when it comes to pictures & creating something. I did create a photobucket acct but haven't done anything w/it yet. is that a good place to create something or should I go somewhere else?

Photobucket is a great place for that. When you want to change an image, just click "Edit" above the image.
Play around from there, it's really fun. But I'm told that fotoflexer is able to get multiple images on the edit table, all accessible from your photobucket account. I'd try that too.

EDIT: I'm sorry! I don't mean fotoflexer, I mean piknik. Sorry!

The correct url would be http://media.photobucket.com/image/bell ... mettca.jpg but still it's too big for a siggie, it should be at last half its size
