Here's an odd question I'd love to know the answer to:
How do you get the images and text in your signature to be centered instead of aligned to the left of the signature space? For example, how to change a sig which looks like mine so that it's set up as flambeau's is farther up the page on page 13.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question - I wasn't sure what would be the right place for this! :p
Thanks!

Adeona, use this code around the text in your sig to center it:
[*center]sigtexthere[/center]
Just leave out the asterisk. :)

Hope this helps! :)

There is a 'youtube' button at the top of the box where you type your replies. It's right next to the spoiler button. :D Hope that helps!

You'll have to save the avatar to your computer and go to "User Control Panel"-> "Profile" -> "Edit Avatar" -> Upload from your machine... and choose the file you wish to use.

I'm afraid the direct link/ from a url option has been down for a while now :(

You can also choose one from the button "Display Gallery" on the "Edit Avatar Page"

I hope that helped! :)

Hmmm... are you sure it's 100x100 pixels or less and less than 100 KiB. Also check what kind of file it is saved as. I suggest either PNG (ex. filename.png) or JPEG (filename.jpg) for still images and GIF (filename.gif) for animated images.

Is there a particular error message you are getting with it?

No, I'm not exactly sure... :P The only files it offers for me to save the avi's in are ART and bmp, I'm not exactly sure what either of those are. :-\

And its given me a few different messages, the latest being... It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
The submitted avatar is 0 pixels wide and 0 pixels high. Avatars must be at least 10 pixels wide and 10 pixels high, but no larger than 100 pixels wide and 100 pixels high.

The avi I've been trying is over in the Signature and avatar sets thread, the one's by Tarkheena...I've only been trying them because they match my siggie.

Any ideas? :|

Okay, all I have is the paint program that comes with windows 7, and I want to edit out the half of the letter T in my avatar>>>>
How do I do this.

P.S. I do not have much experience at graphics work.

okay Dinode, this will take a little time to get the multiple whit/gray shading colors right, but here's the easiest way:

In Paint, there's a little tool that looks like a water dropper called "Color Picker". Hit that button and select the area that it near the part of the "T" that you want to erase. By doing this, you have now selected the closet color to paint over that part of the "T". Then select the "brush" brush, and paint over the "T". If you get to a part in the "T" where you're color is a bit too light/dark, select the color picker again and select a new white area, (that's closer to that part of the "T") thus giving you a different shade to paint with.

You could just pick plain old white and color over the "T"...but because there's a shadow behind Bolt, I'd suggest doing the steps above. The more times you select a new area's color to paint, the more professional it will look.

If you want my advice, if you select one white for that area between Bolt's foot and ear, it should look fine, then pick two more whites for the top and bottom parts of him: above and under his ear/foot, respectively.

I hope this helps! (you can PM me if you have any more questions)
