[edit] Sig

Wow! I see you already know how to do a sig! Most new users don't. Anyway, welcome to the wiki.

By the way, looking at your tests, I'd say you need to go into my preferences (at the top) and make sure the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" box is checked and the "Signature:" box has the words "{{User:Rootbeersoup/sig}}". Looks nice, by the way. Bluebry 23:27, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm no newbie to span, but I am having some trouble finding where to upload a personal pic, as the Upload file link seems to be restricted to me. rootbeersoup 19:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, Rootbeersoup. I saw you playing around with your sig, and it looked like you might want to make the Gooblies pic link to your user page. If I'm right, this is the code you're looking for:

<span class="plainlinks" style="white-space:nowrap">[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Rootbeersoup http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/9/9b/Gooblies_Pet_Lobster.PNG/16px-Gooblies_Pet_Lobster.PNG] [[User:Rootbeersoup|<span style="color:#634319;">rootbeersoup</span>]]</span>

which will produce this:

rootbeersoup

Also, I shrunk the image so that it would be 20 pixels in height. Finally, you should be able to upload your own image now, if you want. Hope that helps, Trey56 19:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
