Signature not showing?

Sluglord · 01-08-2008, 07:08 PM

I apologize if I am opening a topic that already has a thread, but I didn't see one immediately.

I have my forum signature plugged into my profile in the right spot but all that shows up is either the html or the bb code, not the actual image. The image is fine in the preferences/profile section of eq2players, but on these boards it's always just the code. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what?

You may want to check out the Signatures Forum. There is a particularly good Tutorials and Resources thread that should help you with your issue.

We also have a '"How to Use Your Sig Graphic" & Sig FAQ' thread that you may find helpful. SMILEY

While many forums use BBCode, these forums use HTML; try using the HTML code provided by EQ2Players rather than the BBCode. SMILEY

Thanks. I went and followed all the instructions (which oddly seemed to be identical to the instructions I had followed before) and it seemed to work.

Sometimes there is a delay from when you change the signature in your profile and when it actually starts displaying in posts. Whatever cluster/caching SOE does for the forums seems to result in some delays with changes like this sometimes. You may have done it "right", then gone and changed it thinking it didn't work before it had time to propagate.

Gotcha. Indeed, I did have to refresh my cache and all to get the stuff to display on my end as well, but all is hunky-dorey now. Thanks again.
