trying to upload signature

Recommended Posts

Marc,following your directions (I'm bored) I gimped the pic to a 42K file

right click on pic -> copy

goto account settings -> signature -> right click inside the box -> paste and the result is "URL too large"

When I pasted the url a minute ago the forum griped about saving a message of over 30,000 characters.

First part of the url looks like:

http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/data:image/jpeg;base64,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<< snipped at this point>

It almost looks like it's tying to convert the entire picture into the URL???

I think the reason for such a long URL is because the image was uploaded directly from my desktop... I think if it is saved to say photobucket and then copied and pasted then it would work....

I am on my phone at the min i will jump on my laptop and give it a try now :up:

If you put this in your signature, it should work. You can do it through all the buttons above it, but this one will do the same :)

@Al Jones You're right about the image being converted to text. It's a neat algorithm called base64. If you remove the leading "http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/" part and insert the resulting link into your browser, the image would magically pop up and it's not hosted anywhere! Good for hiding stuff, bad for putting them on a forum that way (and it won't work, as you saw)
