* Fumble...fumble...pinch..."ouch!"...drop...*

OK, after an exhaustive search lasting ten seconds and one whole try...

how does one pin a medal from HM the Queen on one's sig?

Ok, my internet is failing, but going to give this one last try.

-Using, by way of example, the medal in the 4th post of the Queen's thread: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showpost.php?p=136147&postcount=4

-right click on the medal, and hit 'Copy image URL' (exact wording may differ depending on browser)

-go to your User CP (top left on forum main page), go to Edit Signature. The screen looks almost identical to a normal forum post so I will demonstrate here

-hit the little picture icon (or type "[img]"),%20hit%20CTRL%20+%20V%20on%20your%20keyboard,%20and%20click%20ok%20(or%20type%20"[/(IMG]".%20You%20should%20get%20"[%20IMG]http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6492&stc=1&d=1237325433[/img]" (without the space in the first bracket) which will come up as this:

Image

-you can do other things like center it using the buttons, eg [ CENTER][ IMG]http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6492&stc=1&d=1237325433[/IMG][/CENTER] (again ignoring that first spaces in the brackets) which will give you this:

[CENTER]Image[/CENTER]

-if there is a way to resize the picture (to make a better rack) without reuploading a smaller version somewhere, I don't know it, but perhaps someone else can help.

:thumbsup:

Oh, OK, copy the graphic and insert into sig. Should've thought of that. Thanks!

You can right-click on the image and open Properties, also, to get the URL.

Hehe. You obviously know what you're doing and didn't need the detailed explanation. Oh well, perhaps it will help others. Nice medal, btw! :D

Thanks again - yeah, I'm a technical writer in IT, I write manuals, online Help, etc. So I'm a power user, but even the best of us can overlook stuff.
