lizzielilyy You can find the signature under profile -> edit profile -> personnel. You will need a BB code from Imgur or whatever you use to host images. On page 2, HermioneSims shared some code to make the signature clickable and center it. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to copy her text for you. It is about the middle of the page. Thank you lovely I will look into this now!

The EA Forum is totally nuts right now. I have not had access for several hours π

MonaSolstraale me either. I wonder if they're overhauling it and making everyone's dreams come true? (Wishful thinking? π)

I feel like I haven't done Winnie justice since I've not had a signature for most of her generation π I'm baffled at how easy it was to get a functional forum going and then that one is just frozen π

I am here! Now to figure out how things work.
EDIT---- Yay! I figured out how to get it to display my picture and name properly!
Can't quite figure out the banner thing yet. How did you all get yours centered?

GlacierSnow Welcome! Good to see you. Sorry to leave you without reply for ages, I think the membership here so far is mostly European so time zones etc... Anyway I haven't yet discovered if I can add formatting buttons to the signature box, but you can definitely format it how you wish using simplified bb codes (it'll convert them). You can centre your banner by wrapping your image link in the code [ center] and [ /center] (no spaces). So: [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/1Tvjbd5/07-31-20-5-02-20-PM.png[/img][/center] Gives you: To add a link to it, wrap the [ img ] codes in [ url= and [ /url ], so: [center][url=https://almost-eternal.com][img]https://i.ibb.co/1Tvjbd5/07-31-20-5-02-20-PM.png[/img][/url][/center] Gives you:

lizzielilyy 's method will also work (thanks!). I'll add a sticky thread with this and other useful forum codes later tonight (unless anyone fancies making one for me π) - I feel it may come up a lot

lizzielilyy and SnuffyBucket Thanks! That is super helpful. I haven't worked directly with bb code (just places like the old Sims forum where I saw it but it basically did it for me) so I was able to guess about how to link an image, but couldn't figure out the right way to do the other stuff. I really like the way this forum is arranged and how it feels. Like a calm harbor after all that raging chaos storm I attempted to navigate through over at the "other place". I think I'll stay.
PS - Snuffy, I love that example image!

And, it feels SO good to see everyone's portraits and banners again! I felt like I was lost in a faceless crowd over there.
EDIT--- For some reason my banner is coming out blurrier than it looks in "real life". I think I need to remake it at a smaller size, because the original is coming out huge here, and attempts to simply resize it are resulting in this blurriness here (though not in the actual file on my desk top). I'll work on this. Out of curiosity, is there a way to control the size the image appears here when it's linked? MonaSolstraale and SnuffyBucket I like the size your banners are. What are the image dimensions in pixels of your uploaded image, and did you resize them on-site at all?

GlacierSnow which image hosting site are you using? ImgBB lets me select the size I want (full, medium or thumbnail, my banner is medium) and generates code for me (lazy, haha) Alternatively, HermioneSims tested image size in this post - might involve some trial and error. That's Vlad's house of clones, naturally. π

SnuffyBucket I'm using Postimage.org I don't know if it has a good way of resizing images. I'll take a look at what HermioneSims posted after work and play around with it. I may need to simply make a smaller original version so that the text doesn't get too pixelated. At the moment, I'm just thrilled to actually be able to include a signature banner at all.
EDIT-- ROFL! I meant to "like" your post and accidentally "liked" my own because I hit the wrong thumbs up icon. Was the ability to "like" our own posts intentional? If not, might want to disable that.
