Like the smilies beating each other up, etc. I have one saved that's sufficiently annoying I'll take the trouble to put it up.

When you are posting your reply, like this... you look to your left and see all those annoying little goofy faces?... click your cursor in your post where you want one, here

, or here :roll: or

and when you've exhausted your choices there you click on the "View more Emoticons" at the the bottom of that group of silly mugs, and voila! a new little window pops up (sometimes excruciatingly slowly) and you have even more to choose from, like this

, or this

(that one's expecially good for when you can't get it to work right)

sooo.... have fun!

I think he was asking how to post one that he has stored on his local hard drive.

Tony, have you tried copying and pasting it in? Maybe uploading it to a place where you can do a direct link to it, like a jpg or gif file?

Copying and pasting does not seem to work very well...

But it works when quoted. How odd.

to make an image work, you have to use the in-house code...

{img}url of the image{/img}, replacing { with [

for some reason the normal HTML only works inside of a quote.

Notice that there is a checkbox saying "Disable HTML in this post" which is normally checked when you're writing (this may be dependent on your profile settings). Unckeck it and you can use some HTML.

But if the question is how to put annoying imgs in your signature, then i don't know how to do it, "sorry"!

No, I think Tony meant the animations in the signature block, like in mine.

You need to have the animation on a webserver, Tony. Then, before your signature, you type in the code for the image url

So, if your signature was "Joe Snobe" and you wanted to put an animated gif in front of that, then in your Profile (where you typed in your signature) you prefix the "Joe Snobe" with code like:

*img*http://www.somewebserver/someimage.gif" */img* "Joe Snobe"

Where the *'s are replaced by the square brackets [ and ] I can't put the square brackets in the code above, if I do then you won't see 'em in this post!

Hope this isn't too confusing!

:admin: :adminok: :adminno:
As few as they have, they saw fit to have three that look like hitler.
I don't remember him being a whistler or anything.
They sort of look like a trio together there. like the pointer sisters or something. Or the Judds maybe.
I could see that. The concervatives finally get thier way, clone hitler from old dna, and he comes back as a pop trio. People download the music insted of buying it though, and two of the hitler trio have to share gold plated limozines insted of having thier own, which makes the RIAA feel very sad. So they come up with a Final Solution to File Trading. Since everyone who doesn't agree with thier Final Solution to File TRading is a dirty communist long hair freedom hating douchbag liberal, the Final Solution to File Trading will be called the Patriot Act. In fact, the Hitler trio will take to the road with thier act, known as the Patriot Act tour, Then Patriot Act II, and so fourth. Downloader caught downloading insted of buying will be stripped, a hood put over thier head, and stacked in a pyramid, which accourding to record mogoul Rush Limburger, is actually what they WANT to happen, them being dirty long hair liberal douchbags, who enjoy such things.
The hitler trio winds up being so popular that they get thier own Saterday Morning Cartoon. They travel around in a van solving mysteries and stacking naked hooded liberals into interresting shapes, like you might do with Lincoln Logs.
Busy making cartoons and movies, the group neglects thier music, causing fans to abandon them. They are a casualty of overexposure in the end. Later they make a comeback tour under the name Gang Of Patriots, later shortened to GOP. One of them turns out to be gay, the other winds up molesting a bunch of children, while the third, crippled by pain due to an advanced flautulence syndrome, has to take over 4000 narcotic painkillers every 40 days.
In the end, the RIAA proclaims that the record industry is still under attack, authorizing themselves 89 zillion dollars in federal funds, and drafting a new Patriot act yearly.
Accourding to Unbiased news sources, the publics supports the RIAA by a margin of over 90% supposidly. Those opposed are labeled Dirty Communist Liberal Douchbags and have a large letter "L" branded on thier forheads.

If it's animated, better not save it as a jpg file.

You're too young to know this, ants, but in the times when people had to share computers, the sys admnins were often referred to as "Nazis", because they had absolute power and used it in rather capricious ways. Thence the little Hittler icons.

Wow. About 30 tweaks to get it done. I still can't, for the life of me, figure out how to unlink the saying after the image. No big deal, though. Thanks for your help. Now live with it.

You probably just need to type /url in brackets after the linked text.
