Smilies in Siggy??

[terra-pip]

hi...i'm new to MDC and i have noticed all the cute signature graphics...but when i try to make one i get a message that i am allowed one graphic and then the graphic doesn't work. It shows up in text. I also tried to change the color and that didn't work either...could someone point me to a sticky that shows the answer or instruct me in this. Thanks!

You will get to have more soon. You have the days, you just need the posts.

Signature Images/Pictures
The only images allowed in signatures are board smilies. New Members (title under your username) are allowed only 1 smilie in their signatures. Members are allowed 8 smilies in their signatures. 'New Members' move to the 'Member' group when they have accrued 50 posts and have been registered for 60 days. (click your name and choose view profile to see on what date you registered). We have two Premium Subscriptions that include unlimited use of smilies, but signature length will remain at 2 lines for all members.

Smilies
Smilies are small graphical icons which you can insert into your messages to convey an emotion or feeling, such as humor, happiness, or embarassment. Certain combinations of text characters are converted into smilies. Click here for a list of the smilies currently used at MDC. As of 10/10/2006, New Members are limited to 1 smilie in their signature and Members are limited to 8 smilies in their signature. 'New Members' move to the 'Member' group when they have accrued 50 posts and have been registered for 60 days. (click your name and choose view profile to see on what date you registered). See titles for information on membership levels. Don't want to wait? Check out the Premium Subscriptions. Supporting Member I, II & III subscriptions now include unlimited smilies in signatures.

I have an FAQ stickied at the top of this forum and linked in the forum description that has info on other things that will open up as you gain posts and days.

thanks!

the FAQ sticky link doesn't seem to work...i've tried to look there already.
Thanks for shedding light on the seniority on the forum...
can you help me with the problems with my signature. You can see on the bottom of this post how it looks. I wanted to do it in blue and I added the one graphic but it only shows it in text.

You can change the color of the text in your signature by putting the color in brackets like this:

{COLOR=BLUE} Lisa {/COLOR}

but substitute the "[" and "]" symbols instead of { and }

Lisa

Silly, petty question: I still can only have 1 image in my signature.

I read the FAQs on signatures and it says that I should be able to edit mine to contain up to 2 lines of text and up to 8 images now that I'm a "member" and not a "new member" but when I go to do this, I get an error stating that I have too many images.

[fullofgrace]

Not petty! You need to have both 50+ posts and 60+ days of membership to get more than one image for free.

New Members (title under your username) are allowed only 1 smilie in their signatures. Members are allowed 8 smilies in their signatures. 'New Members' move to the 'Member' group when they have accrued 50 posts and have been registered for 60 days. (click your name and choose view profile to see on what date you registered). We have two Premium Subscriptions that include unlimited use of smilies, but signature length will remain at 2 lines for all members.

So you are close! you have the posts. You just need the days.

Smilies in Siggy??

I have a ?

I tried to add another smilie to my siggy, in the 1st line, and it said that I had too many. I only have 1 smilie. I see other members w/ more than 1 smilie. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! I'm combining similar topics for easier searching. Hopefully the explanations above will help.

ETA: The Board Signature Rules are here for further information.

You aren't doing anything wrong- you just need to be a member for 60 days, first.
