So, I am trying to update my signature for my stats and I couldn't figure it out the first time, even after some help which seemed confusing to me anyway, and Stev did it for me.

 

I thought I could of override the previous image so I didn't need to change anything but refresh to see update but apparently you can't do that.

 

I am having the same trouble of getting the image into my signature at its full size 436 x 154. Maybe its bugged for me because every time I try what I think is right I get an Error page saying it couldn't get the dimensions for the image and it didn't save it. Otherwise I think I need a tutorial so I can do it right from now on myself in the future, cause I tried everything I thought possible.  :mellow:

^the full size image url.

^ the image url you used.

 

You need to view the image fullsize and copy the url from that to get it to appear full size, I don't see how you could've got the wrong one tbh; but for future reference whilst viewing the desire image hit 'options' then 'share link' and the bbcode box supplies all you need to post it.

 

Also tip.it gallery links are relatively easy to spot what size is:

http://forum.tip.it/uploads/gallery/album_493/gallery_220929_493_42967.png

^ this format is the basic one that will give the fullsize image.

Then tip.it offers a thumbnail, small and medium size (if the image is big enough), which just ass a small bit of the link eg:

http://forum.tip.it/uploads/gallery/album_493/sml_gallery_220929_493_42967.png

^ small

http://forum.tip.it/uploads/gallery/album_493/tn_gallery_220929_493_42967.png

^ thumbnail

http://forum.tip.it/uploads/gallery/album_493/med_gallery_220929_493_42967.png

^ med (this one doesn't actually work because ur image isn't big enough and therefore doesn't have a med size generated)

 

If you note all 4 links are identical, apart from the fact the sizes gain the 'sml_' 'tn_' or 'med_' part.

Ok so from all that I think I was doing it right, I was trying the full size one and it wasn't working for me. I tested doing it in a post and previewing post and the preview shows it working but when I try it for the signature it hates me.

 

Just to double check I'm doing it all right this is what I attempted for it:

 

1. hit 'Image' button in between 'Unlink' and 'Code'

2. paste the image link in this case being http://forum.tip.it/uploads/gallery/album_493/gallery_220929_493_42967.png

3. hit ok

 

After that it shows it in the signature area but everytime I hit save it goes to the error page saying:

 

Oops! Something went wrong!

I don't get it at all.  :mellow:

 

Edit: The small size version I currently have was from using the 'My Media' button.
