You don't actually create your signature on TCS. You'd have to create it on your computer or ask someone to make one for you. Then you have to host it at a site like Photobucket, and remote link it to the site, using your User CP.

I've made 6 posts and I still don't have the option in my control panel to make a signature. I am looking forward to having one, but I am also wondering how long it takes before they give me the option?

If I ever figure out how to make my signature
, do I have to send it to photobucket first, or can I up load straight from my "My Pictures" file? (will check out the link to create a signature, too
)

You'll be able to put one up tomorrow (Monday). Under "User CP", you'll find an "Edit Signature" option, where you can paste the Photobucket, etc., link.

  • Height of signature can be no greater than 150 pixels at 72dpi. This obviously refers to images.
  • You may have up to 4 lines of standard size text, single-spaced, if all you are using is text.
  • In general, if you have an image banner, no other text, ticker, smilie, etc. will be allowed. Exceptions may occur if your image is smaller than 150 pixels in height.
  • You may include a discreet link to another site in your signature. You may not advertise your site in the main body of your post.
  • Member signatures are subject to review and deletion by the moderating team without advance warning.

I'm sure my picture is sufficiently small, and have successfully uploaded it to the point where it shows in "Edit Signature," and have clicked "Save Signature," but it doesn't show up on my post(s). I did all of this yesterday, mid-day, and thought it might take overnite to finish "loading," but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Is there something else I'm overlooking?

Thanks,
Ginny

I see an image in your signature:


Can you see everyone else's siggies? If not you may have accidentally told it not to show signatures which can be changed in your user CP.
Photobucket was also doing upgrades yesterday so some images wouldn't have showed for a while

ETA: yep, they only show in posts made after the siggy was uploaded to TCS

I can see all siggies. Some instructions indicated: "Your new signature will now be appended to every post youâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve got (or indeed, have EVER posted) on The Cat Site!" but I guess this isn't correct.

Anyway, it's showing on new ones!!!

Thanks,
Ginny

Just posting to double check that I did the signature correctly and that it's an OK size. Please let me know if I need to change it. THANKS! Ok, I fixed something, so I'm editing now to see if it works.
