How do I make my Sig. Bigger?

[blueturbolt]

I went to change my Sig. and now every picture I upload is smaller than a thumbnail.
Does anyone know how to make a Sig. Pic bigger? I dont see any size settings in cp.. please help?

See the sig I added below( this is a large picture, but the signature is tiny)

Instead of uploading the picture as a "signature picture," you will want to insert the image in the text area of the signature using the "insert image" tool.

Edit: does that make sense? the picture you wish to use needs to be hosted somewhere else (imgur, photobucket, some other website). you paste the url of the image using the insert image tool.

It doesnt give me the option to upload from my files that way.. Only lets you do url link..

When I uploaded my original signature, it loaded fine the first time but now I cant get it back..

right. you can't upload a large image directly from your computer into the signature. You need to upload the picture elsewhere. Is the picture already uploaded to the internet on a different site? FB or anything would work.

edit: sorry I can't explain this very clearly

the picture I just threw in my signature came from this link

http://s1.aecdn.com/images/news/gallery/chevrolet-sonic-and-cruze-sema-offensive-coming_2.jpg

If the picture you want to use has already been uploaded to the internet somewhere else, than all you need to do is copy and paste the url in your signature text with img tags like this:

(IMG)http://s1.aecdn.com/images/news/gallery/chevrolet-sonic-and-cruze-sema-offensive-coming_2.jpg(/IMG)

with brackets in place of the parenthesis

edit 2: if the image has not already been uploaded to the internet, then head to imgur.com, create an account, upload the picture there, and then copy/paste the url into your sig using the insert image tool

So Far, no luck with the URL links on Facebook.. I keep getting, Invalid file..

 

[River_Rat]

sorry. I might have lied about facebook. its real easy with imgur. you don't even need an account. just go to imgur.com. on the right, click the upload from computer button. upload the image that way, then copy the url from your browser after it uploads.

edit: actually, facebook works just fine, but when you are looking at it you have to right click on the picture, then click "view image." there you can get the proper url: it should look like this:

 

[River_Rat]

it looks like you keep uploading it in the signature picture section. That's not what you want. You want to paste the url in the "edit signature" frame above that one

 

[blueturbolt]

I tried Imgur.com It did upload but as you can see below, the Sig. is still tiny..
This is the same signature I originally had on my thread but it was about 4 times bigger.
Ever since I tried to change it, no luck making it that big anymore... There has to be a size setting somewhere.. I just cant find it

 

[River_Rat]

you are pasting the url in the wrong place. it is not entirely your fault. despite the fact that the signature page says to upload a picture in the signature picture frame, that's not where you want to do it. You want to paste the url in the top frame. copy/paste the imgur url in this thread and I can try to help further.

Ha Ha, Now i think its too big!! and I dont like the yellow image bar above it..

Add another m before the .jpg, it will kae it a medium size photo instead of large that the forum resizes

Here:

imgur: the simple image sharer

I resized it for you. try the same thing with this url instead

Thanks River Rat.. guess this will have to do.. Just wish I figure out how I did it the first time without having the yellow line above.. and it was about half this size(perfect) Thanks again for your help..

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Yeah the 400x244 is a much better size!
