Okay, I thought that the words "My Gallery" would appear after I created what I thought was" My Gallery"....no appearance!

No. You have to put the code into your signature yourself, it used to be automatic. View source in a thread to see how its done - its not rocket science. 🙂

 

[peter_n]

Actually on second thoughts go to UserCP in the menu bar above and edit this into your signature:

[URL=http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/member.php?uid=2193]My Gallery[/URL]

Peter, unfortunately it is a somewhat like rocket science for me.

I did take the url and I pasted it into the box named "Your Signature" and hit "Save Signature" but nada. I gather I'm still not doing it right.

Mario, replace that with this....

(a href='http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=2193')My Gallery(/a)

but replace the brackets ( ) with < > (there will be two of each)

 

[BJ Bignell]

Mario, you're close now! You just need to put the "[URL=" at the front, EXACTLY as Peter specified it.

 

[Mario]

Is this how it should look?

[URL==< >a href='http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=2193')My Gallery< >

 

[Mario]

Without the second =


[URL=< >a href='http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=2193')My Gallery< >

 

[BJ Bignell]

No, no Mario. Copy the exact text that Peter wrote inside the little "HTML Code" box, and put that in your signature. That's all you need.

 

[BJ Bignell]

Just a quick explanation. What you're trying to do is create a link to the web page that contains your gallery. On this bulletin board, there are two ways to do it:

• Using the square brackets "[]" is vB code, a sort of custom language for marking special text (like links and coloured text) on this forum.
• Using the angular brackets "<>" is called HTML, which is the foundation of the Internet and all web pages.

Either of those will work, and will end up in the same result.

 

[BJ Bignell]

Hey, you've got it!

 

[BJ Bignell]

Just one note, though: The link you've put into your signature goes to your profile, not your gallery. If you want to change it, use this link:

MAMMA MIA !!

I'm going to Disneyland!

Thanks to everyone for their help.

That should do it, I now have a gallery, okay just one photo but with more on the way. I'm good to go.

My new dream in life is to get to the point where I can help others through technical issues...not really.

 

[Mario]

Okay so I'm not going to Disneyland.
