Welcome to another tutorial! This time I'll be showing you how to make a signature.

Please read on for the rest of the information!





Step One



The first step to making an image signature is to upload your desired image to a host site such as Photobucket.

If you're unfamiliar with how to upload an image, this tutorial that I created a little while ago can give you the basics.

Once you're image is uploaded, copy the IMG code to the left of your picture.


Step Two



Once you have your IMG code copied, proceed to the Endless Forest Community Site

On your main account page (accessed via My Account in the bar to the left), you want to click Edit just underneath your name.


Step Three



On your account editing page, scroll down until you see a box titled Signature Settings. It is in the text box inside here that you write all of the codes for your signature, as shown.


Step Four



Inside the text box, paste your IMG code from Photobucket. Make sure that the url is between the IMG tags in order for it to show up.

Once you've pasted your code, scroll the page down further and click the button at the bottom of the page that says Save.


Step Five



If your save was successful, this message should show up at the top of your screen.

To double check how your signature looks, next click on Track at the top of your screen beneath your name.


Step Six



Once you're in your track log, click on any page that you've posted, and then scroll down to where your comment is. If you successfully created a signature, it should show up in your old comment.

Note: There are some exceptions to this. To be safe, go to a newer post rather than an older one.

Notice how a default signature falls on the left of the comment box, underneath where your message is.

Congratulations! You've just made your very own basic signature!





Shifting the Signature to the Center

Go back into your account editing page, and scroll down to the Signature box once again.



Inside the box this time, around your image code, you want to place CENTER codes. Putting center codes around any bit of text or coding will center it on the page, or in your comment box.

Double check by going back to a comment that you've made, and you should see something like this:


Congratulations! You've now centered your signature!


Shifting the Signature to the Right

Once again, go back to your account editing page and scroll down to the signature box.



This time, instead of CENTER tags, you want to use RIGHT tags. Similar to the center tags, right tags will shift your image or text to the right of a page or comment box.

Double check once again, and you should see something like this:



Congratulations! You've just positioned your signature to the right!


Turning your Signature into a Link

Your signature can also be an easy way for people to access your character's bio, or an update page, or something else that you want to link to.

For this tutorial, I've chosen my character Tails' bio as the place that I want my signature to link to.



First you want to find the url of the place you want to link to. Once you have it, copy it.

Go back to your account editing page, and scroll down to the Signature box.



Inside your box, you want to use A HREF tags to indicate where you're linking to.

Note the format of the tags, and how the url has quotations ("...") around it. This is necessary for the link to work!

Paste your url between the quotations, and then save your changes.

You can double check if it worked by going back to a page that you posted on, and clicking on your signature. If nothing happens, then go back and check your coding to make sure that all your tags are closed, and that you have quotations in the correct places. If your link works, then congratulations! You've successfully turned your signature into a link!
