How To Post an Image/Artwork/GIF to Your Signature or In a Post
Hello all, Finna Dracofyre here!
I have noticed that there a lot of forum users out there struggling with posting images onto their forum signatures and on forum thread in posts, so I decided to make a tutorial to help everyone out! :-)
-This tutorial will show you how to post personal images & GIFs using Tinypic.com-
I want to begin by saying this: So far (to my knowledge and experience) Internet Explorer will NOT allow you to post images, and has difficulty/won't allow the user to change text size, color, or style. Therefore I recommend using either Google Chrome OR Firefox for this.
My tutorial was completed using the following:
Windows
Google Chrome
Using Tinypic.com as my uploading software.
Step One: Go to Tinypic.com (here is the link--->) http://tinypic.com
Step Two: Create an account! (Don't worry everything is free!)
Step Three: Now it is time to start uploading photos---this is required to then post personal photos onto your signatures/forum threads! Follow my steps below via screen shots.
Step Four (See Photo Below)
Step Five (See Photo Below)
Step Six (See Photo Below) - Getting Image(s) on Forum Threads
Step 7 (See Image Below) - Getting Image(s) in Your Signature
And that concludes this tutorial! If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me via PM messaging or directly through this Forum Thread. ^^ For users that are using Apple computers or mobile devices, I will try my best to assist you!
You don't need to create an account to uplad images, as long as you post it before closing the tab (so that you don't have to reupload it).
Goodnight everyone....
I realy want to know!
thanks ^_^
Wait, how do you do that, where you put their name in the picture?
I use Comodo Dragon Web browser & I do have a Tinypic account.
Wow, I was actually not familiar with that browsing software...Komodo is quite new to me, but looks like a really nice browser to use. Reviews state it has more security then others, and is somewhat based off of Google Chrome. If you do not mind me asking, does my tutorial aid you, or are the controls/option bars too different for this?

Awesome no wonder my images came up as boxes in Internet Explorer
This definitely explains why I can't get anything to work... I have internet explorer! Darn... :(
Will try. Thanks for posting!!!!
Did I do it right?
Yay, thank you :D
The gifs aren't working for me. Look in my signature, the zeal predators banner is supposed to have the smokebreath moving.
Hey there,
I've done what you said to do (uploaded to TinyPic and all that), but the image in my signature just keeps coming up as this little picture box thing (you can see it in my sig.). I'm using Chrome and the image is .jpg. I don't know what I did wrong. Could somebody please help? I'm kind of new at this. XD

Ohh .. Thank you! XD Silly me, I was trying to use the HTML or something instead of the URL.
Either way, it's working now, so thanks. :)

Plz I really want to know!!!!
yes! Thank you so much for your tutorial.nI've been searching for it, I will decorate my signature this tiimee~~
I've always had trouble with posting pics on the forum but this made it way easier! Thanks for posting!
Hey im new at this- how do you take a screenshot on a PC (without a download) ?
This thread kinda got burried, but I noticed no one responded to your question...
If you still need help capturing your PC screen, follow the steps below:
1.) Set up the screen on how you want it to look. (pose with your dragon, etc)
2.) On your keyboard, press Ctrl & PrntScr to capture your screen. (my laptop requires Ctrl + Alt + PrntScr)
3.) Open up Paint (a software that comes with just about every computer/laptop)
4.) Inside Paint, go to the "paste" option and select it; your screen cap should appear.
5.) From there you simply crop your image and save it as a JPEG or PNG image file.
***NOTE*** If you are using the SoD App Program, you will need to exit "Full Screen Mode" in the game to capture a photo of your screen. You can do this by going into the settings in the game (gear icon) and selecting the icon with a square with four arrows. Once it is out of "Full Screen" a odd white/gray bar should appear at the top of your screen. You can now follow the steps above to capture a photo of your screen.
Hope this helps~ ^-^

Thanx a lot!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!YOU SAVED ME!
*calms down*
Thank you so much for the guide.Couldn't upload my pictures at first,then I searched on Google and came here.Thanks so much for the guide!
Great tutorial! But when I click on "image", I paste the link, set the height and width, but then I click "OK" and nothing happens... and I can't click cancel either. The only way to get out is to refresh, but it doesn't save. Do you have any idea how to fix this? It works on mobile, and at first the pictures show up, but then they just become little x's and you can't see the picture.
Thanks :)
What browser are you using? 'Cause Internet Explorer will create this "death trap" as I like to call it (along with many other compatability issues on the forum - my favorite browser, ironically, but it stinks on the forum and other select sites). Firefox works, and I think Chrome does as well (possibly others, but I've never tried anything else).
***Edit: Also, when I paste the forum code into the upload picture section on the forum, I also have to delete the [IMG] listed before the http...etc. (That is, your original link would look something like: [IMG]http....[IMG], so make it: http.....[IMG])
Oh, and I've had the 'x' thing show up for one other reason - the internet server at my school has tinypic as a blocked site, so my pics would appear so long as I was using the server at home, but not when I was logged into the server at school... which is a pretty outlandish scenario, but it's probably worth mentioning anyway.
Okay, thanks for your help! :)
Thank you SO much!!! I couldn't post any images before this! Thanks! :D
Hey, that's what we're here for :)
By creating a Tinypic.com account, you can simply refer back to your gallery if you would ever like to change your signature of post screen shots in multiple threads! :-) I recommend it because in the long run it will save time and hassle. ^^
