Steven 1,553 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 There is an excellent Help section for the forum which is located in the bottom footer. If you've not visited it yet then I highly recommend that you do as it contains a wealth of information and also answers a lot of the questions that people have been asking. 1 Ben C reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you just please keep us informed about this process Steven. When the service is suddenly dropped and everyone is unauthorised to post without an explanation it isn't good for your relations with customers. I happen to think that updating the forum was the right decision, but the way that it has been handled has been very poorly thought out. Genuinely the biggest concern for me is the lack of communication about how, when and why etc... before things happen. People don't like surprises, especially when it stops them from using a service they would normally use without notice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I use images in my signature?It is up to the Administrator whether you may use images in your signature. If you are allowed to attach them' date=' then an Upload Attachments button will be available on the signature editor popup. [/quote'] Thats what it says, and it basically does not help me in the least... I see i couple of mods using sigs and gifs, so to a certain extent, the feature should be available, though when I go the the "Image" button to attach an image, it does nothing but just link my image, like a "Link" button would do. basically 2 buttons that do the exact same job. I would stop trying to find a way to make it work if id know its pointless, so it would be nice to get, just for once, a direct answer to either make it work or to stop trying cause it wouldnt work anyway.

sirmarkhughes 24,726 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 There are also some excellent tutorial videos on vBulletin's website that are worthwhile watching. Most of these tutorials are from the administrators perspective so are pretty useless unless you are starting your own forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan-NI 10,006 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Anybody figured out how to actually add a picture to your signature?I've been toying around with the 'show signature' setting' date=' but i couldnt get it to actually show the picture, only to post a link of it. (like you can see in my sig right now)[/quote'] Go to 'User Settings' > Account > Edit Post Signature Click on the 'A' to bring up the advanced editor, from there click the image icon, it should open a new box 'image info' put the URL of your image in that and click ok - it should then show your signature.

tupac_healy 1,692 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 On Laptop its useable, there will be an adjustment period but long term it will be fine, one thing that could be improved is on mobile, the 'view as desktop' option does not seem to work.... Though how useful it might be is debatable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vitor_mfc 3,862 Report post Posted June 2, 2015 I know forums are normally very bad in terms of design, at least IMO, but this one is really really bad, they managed to make it even worse than the game itself! I'm aware that this must of taken a lot of work, but you really need to improve your design team! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
