    Resolved How to attach files

    OK, guess I'm just in too much of a hurry and plainly stupid, but how do you attach files to your signature? Got some tutorials and stuff I'm sure some ppl will find handy

    Thanx in advance!

    Re: How to attach files

    Where does the file exist? If it is another site, you can link to it. If it is located here, you can also link to it.

    Re: How to attach files

    The problem is that the file needs to reside on either VBF's webserver or if you have access to another webserver.
    This is why you can link to files stored on the VBF webserver like the "Green Checkmark" and "Edit button" images or like
    my MCP logo. Its stored on M$ webservers and I just link to it.

    Re: How to attach files

    Guess I was too quick to ask. Did some looking around. Seems you add a post with your file you wanna share attach, and then put a link to that post in your siggie right?

    Thanx!

    Re: How to attach files

    Yes, thats how its done. Just make sure your attachment is part of a relevant post so it will remain intact

    For example if you are replying to someone and they will benefit (or are requesting info like in your attachment) from
    the attachment then you post it and link to it in your signature. If you do it any other way it runs the risk of the
    thread/post being deleted.

    Might as well ask on this thread as it's related.
    How do people post pictures onto their post so that the picture is actually displayed, not as a hyperlink
