Help With My Signature

[caveman]

I want to put a weather widget in my Signature. It seems to me that HTML code is not allowed or at least that is what it says at the "Left" bottom of my "User CP" panel. Also, a link to the site hosting the widget won't work as it is using HTML code for the Widget. Other members have one in there Signature, so, how do I do this?

If this thread was started in the wrong forum, then would one of the mods please place it properly? Thank you.

I've seen people with those weather banner's in their sig lines and thought it was cool, too. Are you looking to use the link from Weather Underground?

 

[caveman]

YES!!!!!!

 

[mossymo]

Have you tried converting the link by entering the url on http://imageshack.us/ to see if that site can provide a code that will work?

I just sent a PM to someone that has the WU banner in their sig line, and gave them a link to this thread. Hopefully they'll be able to provide some insight as to how to get that link added to your sig lines.

The URL won't work as the Widget is coded in HTML from the site with the URL. I did try your link & with photobucket, as I do have a paid subscription to photobucket but the upload's failed at both sites per the reason I quoted in the begining. I appreciate the attempt Sir. Thank you.

I appreciate your efforts as well. I had sent a PM to someone who was on earlier with the same Widget but they left without giving me a response. Maybe they had things to do. Thank you. I will be on the lookout for assistance.

Not sure if this will help with what you want to do, but here's a converter that will convert HTML code to BBCode or vB code. linky

All yes i have the picture here but can not update because of the "NO" on html. So mine is just a picture, sorry.
Would be nice if we could have HTML but i think there is security problem for the site and server.
I guess i could update it every day LOL

Copy the image source URL and paste it into the "Insert Image" popup.

For example:

The image is updated periodically, so the URL doesn't change. I think?

 

[caveman]

Note the "Red X" in my sig. It is not working for me.

 

[caveman]

Linky does not work.

 

[mythmaster]

What city are you in & I'll find the image URL for you?

 

[caveman]

Long Beach, Ca.

Works for me ........ just tried it. Mythmaster had the right idea, however the banner address requires a little editing.

 

[mythmaster]

Try pasting this into the "Insert Image" popup:
I'm not sure if mine is updating, though -- it did once.

 

[caveman]

Pray tell....divulge.

Just remove the space between the [and the /img] and your banner should display ....... as far as it updating ........ we'll have to see about that.
