Those Cool Signatures...
 

Alrighty, I think we need this thread on here... (It might already be here, and I completely forgot... But all well...)

Ok, who was like me, having a boring ole signature, wanting to know how the others made theirs so bright and big, and well, just not as dull as the plain one you have???

I know there's more lil tricks than what I'm gonna have, so if you know anything cool, post it, so new Phi Sigs on here can figure it out.

Basically, you're gonna need to use html in your signature section of your profile.

The html code for it is:
[font*(select a font)][size*(select a size)][color*(select a color)] (this is where you type the word/letters that you want) [/font][/size][/color]

Substitute the * for = and put actual words in where the ( )'s are! ;)

It might look hard, but once you get the hang of it, it's real easy to figure it out!

GOOD LUCK!

Ok, so I'm replying to myself... :D

Anyways, I don't think I was too clear on the substitution part. You need to switch the * with = and the ( ) for an actual color, font, size, whatever. So you shouldn't have any star things or parenthesis in your html code at all.

Also, there's a website where you can use cute smiley faces in your messages. http://www.plaudersmilies.de/ When you go to use the smiley face, make sure that the vB Code is checked to the Enchanced Mode. (The vB Code is in the left hand colum of the post reply.)

Thanks, I'm going to try that right now.

Ok, this is a practice to see if I did it right

Greek letters

[ font = symbol ]

FSS is Phi Sigma Sigma

[ / symbol ]

take out the spaces

Lets see if this works
 

okay, lets see if this works. And thank you Beth for posting this here so those newbies like myself can create the really cool signatures
Carolyn

lets hope it works
 

Okay i'm testing it out...

i probably didnt do this right...but heres my test

ahhhh...how do you get greek letters???? :mad:

i quit!!!!:( i am just totally computer retarded

haha...just jokin gi guess! figured it out finally!!!

Congrats!!!, Job well done:D

FYI - When you change your signature... it changes on all of your previous posts as well. That is why it looked like you had it the whole time!!

Will someone please help me out please PM me and explain because I've tried lots and lots of times .. but it's still just my code that doesn't work at the bottom, so I deleted it.. HELP :D

[/font=symbol][/size=14] [/color=blue]fss

should be: (take out the spaces)

[ font = symbol ] [ size = 14 ] [ color = blue ] FSS [ / color ] [ / size ] [ / font ]

FSS

YEAAAHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO ME GO ME GO ME GO ME

Doesn't it make you feel great that you can finally do this. I was so jazzed after finally getting my signature to look right.

Thanks to the lovely Beth for starting this thread. I love ya Sis. Iota Gamma rocks!!!

yeah, so I just went crazy now and made a really nice one hehe the simplest things make me happy hehehehe :D

Really bored at work so I decided to try this (even though I should have done it long ago).....



FSS

Testing out my new signature
*crossing fingers*
I hope this works, probably wont, but oh well.


Nicole

If anyone can figure out what is wrong with my signature please reply and help. I don't know what i did wrong.


LITP,
Nicole

:( :mad: :confused:

Instead of having the closings as [/symbol], etc it should be [/font][/color], etc. does that make sense. It should actually be the words font, color, size, not the type you wanted (ie courier, symbol, etc)

Hope this helps you

Thank you so much for your help phisigduchesscv!!!!!!! YAY. It looks pretty now. LOL:D

I did it!!!
Thanks to all of u who posted tips on how to create a signature on this...i always wanted a cute signature...and never really knew how to do it so I did a search and TA DA!!!!! I really like my signature!!!! took me a few ( ok ok it took me like 15 times...i'm not kidding) times to get it right.....THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm just going to copy and paste
i wonder if that will work

Just testing, hope this works....

ok... it isn't working.... for me... and I am an electrical engineering major... who studied HTML

I wonder why it isn't working for you, maybe there are a couple of spaces you could take out.

I hate html but once I figure it out, it's my best friend!

see below - take out the any spaces inside the brackets below
[ font = symbol ] [ size = 14 ] [ color = blue ] FSS [ / color ] [ / size ] [ / font ]

It looks like on yours that on your name you need to close the color and the font [ / font] [ / color] not [/sybmol] nor [/blue]. Again, take out the spaces between the bracket, slash, and Font (or color). I tried to post it with the spaces gone but everything turned in to symbol writing at that point

mmm
 

just trying it out

i can't get this right!

i give up!

ok this is the last time i try it i promise....
