We need a way (while at the Fort), to identify DIS Camping Forum members!

I spent the other day going thru all the back threads to find this one, and then yesterday it showed up. I tried the seach but it didn't work.
I saved it but do you use a special program to get your name bigger than the dish sign? Also do you know how big it prints? We are at the fort alot and I can't seem to get a good one to print, the one I am using has someone else's name on it. I want to make one for the golf cart and window of the mh. Any help apreciated.

So we download the Mickey, photoshop our name, print it and place it somewhere on our campsite??

Ive found that you kinda have to trick the SEARCH into finding stuff for you!! If it knows what youre actually looking for...it certainly wont find it!!!!!

This is formatted to fit a regualr 8x11 piece of paper and should print out fine without making any adjustments. I have seen it blown up a little larger and look fine as well...but if you go too big with it, it does start to look pixilated.

Lornaduck...Id be happy to make one with YOUR name, instead of using someone elses name....heck, I'll even let ya choose what colors you want your name to be!! Dont be shy...just ask...I really dont mind...and it only takes me about 5 minutes to type the name in and adjust its size, etc.


MJMOON - Yes...thats the general idea...at your site, on your golfcart, Ive even seen one on the interstate in the rear window of a 5th wheel, but it was two lanes away and I couldnt make out the name on it.

I use "GIMP" a free copycat of photoshop thats available at www.gimp.org, it is a little easier to navigate than photoshop for me.

Thanks Rog! I'll be sure to print one for our site and our Inlaws RV. This is going to be fun!

Just a note about searching. I rarely use the built-in search function... it is too slow! I use Google and preface my search criteria with "site:www.disboards.com" (don't type the quotes) and it will find stuff just on the DIS! And it is way fast! Unfortunately there is no way to search a specific forum this way... but you could always add "fort" to your criteria, it probably occurs once on every page around here!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Sometimes I use a magic 8 ball and get just as good of results as the dis search engine!!!

 

[mjmoon]

My DH photoshopped one for me.. but I'm not sure how to post it.. how many posts does one need before they can post pictures?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Im pretty sure you have enough posts to display pictures. You need to upload you pictures to a host site, like www.photobucket.com, for instance. Once you have them uploaded, and you place your mouse on the thumbnail of the picture, you will see a tag with the "" command on it..copy that and paste onto your DIS post.

heres a visual aid:

I see.. sounds simple enough. Lets see if this works:

Ok.. it's a little bigger than I expected but it worked! Thanks for explaining.. I can't wait to post picks from the fort in a couple of weeks.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Very FESTIVE!!! Great job!

I'm more interested in the "Biggles" pig picture on your photobucket site

 

[bxtx]

Just a thought, I'm a independent demonstrator for Uppercase Living - very thin vinyl that you have traditionally seen on cars and shop windows, but that is now being used for expressions and crafts within the house.

I'm wondering if we could do something with the MyDesign Tool for people to stick on trailers or vehicles or even a board or tile to have out front... can't do custom logos though (yet)

http://eloquence.uppercaseliving.net - click on Products (top) and then MyDesign Tool (right hand side)

Biggles??? ON MY photobucket??? Or are you talking to mjmoon? I have so many pictures in my photobucket, there JUST MAY BE something called "Biggles" and I wouldnt even know it!!

 

[mjmoon]

I've never heard of Uppercase Living before. Is this direct sales like Partylite and Creative Memories?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

bxtx....that would be GREAT if you could upload a photo instead of just typing in a phrase!! Thats such a good idea! I was browsing some of the products...and some are really detailed.

This design would work well with that process....

Shan...didnt you post a link to that MUSKET MICKEY somewhere that was in PNG format? Or am I halucinating again? I really like the brighter colors on it, and its so nice and sharp.

 

[Shan-man]

Yeah Bubba, here it is. Just right-click to download. It's pretty big, but if you need even higher res, lemme know (it's vector art so I can make it as big as you need it with no loss of quality).

 

[BigDaddyRog]

JJJEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ.......that things HUGE....any bigger and I would need another hard drive for it!!! Perfect, man...thanks...Im going to put it on the green mickey heads...so if anyone wants the new and improved dis sign...lemme know.

THANKS SHANTA!!!

Ooh Shan, when you have a chance, could I get the vector version of that, pretty please?
