How to use BirdsOfPreyDave's DVC Signature Images

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

I've developed some DVC graphics as an option for DISboards users to display in their signature. Posts number 2-4 in this thread provide a library of images that can be used to construct a signature. Additional elements are available later in the tread in post numbers 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, and 19. Post number 5 gives directions on how to use these graphics to create your signature.

First, here are some samples of what the signatures look like...

As you can see, the elements can be pieced together in any number of combinations to create a signature unique to your taste and ownership.

Here are some other miscellaneous images for signatures, not necessarily related to DVC.

How to use the images on the BirdsOfPreyDave web site to Create a Signature

Part 1: Opening the Signature Editor

1(a): If you don't already have DisBoards open, open it and log in, if necessary.

1(b): At the top of the DisBoards forum, look for a link that says "User CP" on the aqua line. This stands for "User Control Panel." Click it to access your control panel menu.

1(c): Next, select the option to "Edit Signature."

Part 2: Creating the signature

The signature editor works the same way as the editor you use for creating posts. To create the DVC signature, you'll piece together the different elements into a single picture the same way you piece together words in a sentence. Don't put any spaces or carriage returns between the images.

2(a): If you already have a signature, place your cursor in the location where you want the DVC image to appear. If you don't already have a signature, you'll have a blank page. Place your cursor at the top of the editing area.

2(b): Make sure the editor is in WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) mode. This is done using the Switch Editor Mode icon at the top-right of the editor window (It's the icon that looks like two letter 'A' in a fraction, just above the smiley).

If this icon has a white box around it, and looks like this:

, skip to step 2(d).

2(c): If the icon does not have a white box around it, click it with the left mouse button to toggle it on.

2(d): Open the BirdsOfPreyDave signature library by clicking the following link with the right mouse button. Right-click this link., then select Open in New Tab from the menu that appears.

2(e): Look through the signature elements listed, and select the one you want to add to your signature.

2(f): Right-click on the picture you want, and select Copy from the menu that appears.

2(g): Switch back to the window where you're editing your signature (a quick shortcut for switching between tabs in Internet Explorer is Ctrl+Tab). Place your cursor in the position where you want to place the graphic, then right-click with the mouse. Select paste from the menu that appears.

The graphic will be added to your signature.

4(h): Now, repeat steps 4(e) through 4(g) for the other images you want in your signature, placing them immediately after the one you just placed.

4(i): When you have your signature how you like it, press the "Save Signature" button.

You've done it!

Thank you very much for allowing us to link directly to your photobucket account!

Ok, I'll bow to the pressure from the purists and nostalgias who don't like the new logo. Here are some options with the two-mountain logo.

Which can, of course, be combined with the existing elements to make signatures like these...

Again thank you for the images and thank you so much for doing this for us ....you are so creative.
