Topic: My signature

[Whiskas]

My mum has emailed my signature over for me. When I tried to go into it though zipzilla it says it can't access it. Do you know why because I am pretty computer illiterate

We'll have a go at sorting your sig out in a minute, but first of all, go to your Profile page and scroll down to where it says "I have my own pic:".

Tick the box and then copy and paste the following line into the field for the picture's address.

 http://www.hogarth.alivewww.co.uk/server/whiskas.jpg

Then confirm the page and we'll see what happens!  I can't do it for you, because it seems that only Admins have that priviledge.  

[Rodders]

You need to remove the first instance of http:// from the pic address in your profile, Whiskas.  

[Whiskas]

Thanks Rodders

[Rodders]

You're welcome, Whiskas!  

Now...  About that sig.  Is it a Flash anim, or some other file format?  If it's a Flash-type file, we may have to wait for a grown-up to come along!  

[Whiskas]

erm....I don't know lol. It ends with swf if that's any help

[Rodders]

Sorry about the slight delay, Evil Hoon just came back from a walk with Carol and has been rolling in something extremely smelly.  We had to give her an emergency bath -- Hoon, that is, not Carol.   :-[

Any road up, what you've got there is definitely one of the 'Flash' formats.  Adept, Sandra, or Simon is your best bet in this case.

An swf extension is a swish animation .... I don't know about zipzilla, never used it, but I've used swish before.

I'll find the url so you can download if you like

[Whiskas]

Thanks Bat once I've opened it how do I get it on here?

[bat69]

You'll have to send it to Sean or me, and then we can upload it to the server ... until Sean gives me the details of the server, he is the best bet  

[Rodders]

If just a matter of hosting, I'll be able to do that, if Whiskas would like to send me the file(s).

Bat, can you tell me whether Swish files are in a single stand-alone package, or is it a scripting and multiple files thing?  

[Adept]

I'm sorting out the flash sig for you now Whiskas  

[Rodders]

Blimey!  That's worth another halo.  

[Sandra]

Looks like I missed all the fun again  
Sorry I wasnt here to help earlier Whiskas but hopefully Adept will have it all sorted soon  

[Whiskas]

Ooops thanks for changing the forum name on there Adept I forgot about that
