Ummm, Why is it so........

G'Day Cobber,
The img tags do not work with png images.
You need to save your image as jpg.
You can use MsPaint to convert.
Upload to ImageShack.
Copy your Direct link.

Use this format:- [img]http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/3258/sgtscreensave.jpg[/img]

And you will get:-


Kindest Regards, " The Druid ".

n'est-ce pas?

Bugger, the software that generates that only outputs png

Fail.

Oh and does it have to be image shack? if so then I cant keep that pic updated. The software also only supports ftp uploading

Do you have MS PAINT or some other image editing program? That is where you convert it.
You would need to actually reload your Signature wherever you put it to be able to update and you still need to convert it. Quite simple really.
I had no problem copy, convert and upload your image file.
An alternative is to upload from your PC direct to the forum, but that will update all your post Signatures. Cannot be done with png files to the best of my knowledge.
Take a deep breath and re-read my post.

I know what your talking about, but I did want the latest image to display, that image is updated every 30 seconds, not something I want to spend my time doing if it was able to accept PNG pics.

I will live with the Signature as it is, if people want to see the last amount of power my solar system is generating they can click on it and hit F5. Since the forum can't do PNG no point fighting with it.

But thanks for trying to help with a solution.

beer4life, you are wrong.......

skozzy use this method, just change the brackets to the square ones......

Not my place to point this out, but perhaps as a Premium Member the Mods will allow it. You really do need to read the site rules.
