HOW TO INSERT A SIGNATURE INTO POST How do I insert a signature into a message on the board? After you have right clicked on your signature that has been made for you and saved it to your hard drive, do the following things while logged into the group you are going to upload the photo to: 1. Select a new message or reply to an existing message. 2. On the tool bar, click the little icon that looks like a yellow square with mountains and a circle in it. 3. If you have it uploaded to an MSN group directory, (either your own, or one you belong to), then choose the group it is in, on the left, the folder it was put into and the graphic that you want.... click on the photo to highlite the little red borber around it. Then click "Add Photo". ***If you do not have it uploaded to a group*** 4. Choose the tab that says "My computer" 5. Choose "browse" find where you stored your signature on your hard drive and click on it. 6. Choose "Open" 7. Click the "Add photo" button. 8. The photo will automatically be inserted in the post (takes time), but maybe a bit large in size. 9. To "size" the photo, click the photo after it has completed opening. Little white boxes will appear at the corners and sides. Move the mouse to the upper left corner of the photo and a little handle will appear. Holding the mouse down drag the box horizontally down toward the bottom right corner. You will probably have to repeat to get it exactly the size you wish. Thats all there is to it ************************************************** ADDING A SIGGY TO A HOTMAIL ACCOUNT Adding Siggy to your hotmail account is not very difficult but it has not been explained nicely anywhere and I have repeatedly faced question in this regard from the members and other friends. Hence, I have decided to put up a seperated tutorial page regarding this and I hope you all benefit from it. Step 1. Open the page where your siggy is , it may be in a post, if it is in a message post or the page in the Album if it is in a Album. Step 2. Keeping the page under Step 1 open, go to your hotmail account and click Options. Step 3. There are many Options here but you need to click signatures. A customised dialogue page opens in a small box. Step 4. Select the siggy from the page referred in Step 1 using your mouse. Pass the mouse the left button pressed over the animated siggy from left to right so that it becomes highlighted as blue. Step 5. Click Ctrl + C key once the image is highlighted ( note Ctrl + C stands from Copy). Step 6. Go back to the signature page opened in your hotmail account. You will find that there are many buttons in the customised page. Click on the third one on the top row which when you hover the mouse over it reads "paste text". The siggy copied in Step 5 will now appear within the customised box. (Another option is to go to the signature page and type Ctrl + V , Ctrl + V stands for paste). Step 7. Depending on where you like your siggy to appear use the Second row on the customised page buttons. Note: this will work only if the siggy image is still selected, if it is not selected, select it again using the same method or simply clicking on it and then move it either to the left or middle or the right as you would like it to appear. Step 8. There are two buttons in the right end of the customised box, outside it. OK and cancel. Click on OK and your siggy is in its place. Step 9. Send yourself a blank mail and check the siggy, any addition or alteration, you can repeat the process by going to Options again. |
