use of tiny-url links for images in sigs = no?
I'm trying to fit one small image into my sig on top of my RP image and two links. I just wanted to join the Blobbie Invasion.
But I ran out of character room. My dilemma is this - if I try to save character space by making a TinyURL out of the link to the image in my photobucket - it does not show up in the signature space. I get to see the code and link instead. But the direct link to the image in photobucket is by nature, rather long. WHY can we not use TinyURL to link to images? Is this some odd forum coding thing? |
I believe it's because it's the Tiny url itself. I think the forum code right now can only show images with "jpg, png, gif, ect etc" at the end. Because tiny url's url itself to images doesn't have that, it won't show up.
But, that's just a guess. xD It could be because tiny url is blocked on Mene. That, or you have your tiny url set on preview. |

Actually, they do. xD You put the image URL in, and it works fine on Gaia.

Yeah, this has always been a problem with tinyurl. You can use tinypic.com however. But if you want to use tinyurl there is a simple way to do this. Take the url of the image you want, I'll use one of mine as an example so I'll be using this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...20Art/Doll.gif To get the tiny url to work remove the image portion of it, which is at the very end so for me it will be this portion: /Doll.gif Use tinyurl to shorten the rest of the photobucket url : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ynne/Avi%20Art to make the tinyurl. Mine turns to be this: http://tinyurl.com/678ng4 And then add the picture back on the end. http://tinyurl.com/678ng4/Doll.gif Which looks like: http://tinyurl.com/678ng4/Doll.gif Hope this helped. ^-^ |
@Kale Dragonheart: Thank you for that information. It is very useful (I had the same question about TinyURL, but never posted it :S).
|
Oooh, that does make sense.
Thank you to everyone. I'll bookmark tinypic and give the tinyurl edit a try. ^_^ |
