Concidering it is a part of the rules that we put signatures in the signature portion instead of typing it every time you make a post, i made this to tel people how to put the signature up for people to see. It will automaticly be added to the end of every single post you make!

First Off you need to go to "My Controlls" which can be found in the top right hand side of the screen...



Once you are in your controlls look on the left hand side for "Edit Signature"



once you are there you should see a screen like this that shows your current signature for ex: mine



and it should show a box to put a signature in for ex: mine



Now to put the signature in all you need to do is type somthing in for example your name, or your name with fancy text all around it, or a small picture that does not take up a ton of space... on the page.. and according to the TOS the signature size can be no larger than

QUOTE

Maximum signature dimensions: 590 pixels wide, 125 pixels high

so i hope this helped! maybe this will give the mods a brake on warning users about using the signature option..

*note*this is ment for pretty much all Invision Power Boards..not PHPBB*note*

Great tutorial, it even supplies images!

You also should'a mentioned about aligning your signatures. Alignment in your signatures is really cool and is hard to find out just by researching it and stuff so you may wanna add that also.

CODE

[align=center]YOUR CENTERED SIGNATURE HERE[/align]

CODE

[align=right]YOUR RIGHT SIGNATURE HERE[/align]

Good tutorial for new user's who haven't been on forums let alone a IP board.
It is quiet confusing how to do at the begging and newbies normally ask for support for this.

To add to the tutorial if you want a image in the sig do this:
upload a image on a image hoster such as image shack then get the url and put the tags

   Html code for invsiionfree!! (2)

   Do you find it annoying when you are on your invisionfree forum, and you get a new message, and it
   ends up taking you 5 minutes to notice? This code makes the inbox link flash bold red saying how
   many messages you have. In version 1 the word inbox stays the same, and doesnt change at all (for
   Example this is flashing: Inbox (2) In version 2 (the second code) the word inbox changes to

   A skin I partially made, I show you how to put on your forum. (1)

   Hey All who may want an invisionfree forum skin, because they are tired of their old, boring,
   squarish one. Well I helped with this skin, and I'm going to give an explanation for starting
   users, so that they may too, have a nice forum skin! First of all, when installing a new skin on
   your board, no upload or download is needed. You will most definately have to replace your old forum
   CSS or "Style sheets" (as called in the invisionfree Admin CP). You will almost all the time have
   to place something in the footer (in Board wrappers IN THE ADMIN CP), and usually a ....

   forum, and are wanting to add a website. This tutorial will show you how to create the website in
   your root directory(Example: http://domainname.com) , while your traffic gets redirected to your
   forum while you are creating it, until you're ready for guests to see it. This method is

   Adding an AEF Forum to sNews CMS Although not truly integrated, here is an explanation of the
   steps I took to have an AEF Forum Software present itself as an 'integrated' page on the
   sNews CMS. 1. Download a standard sNews version 1.6 Content Management System. Instructions are
   found on the sNews site. (refer to link list below) There are several flavours of sNews. This method
   has only been tested on the sNews 1.6, but should work on other versions as well. 2. Created a

8. How To Make A Decent Forum

   Some great tips on how to make and maintain a good forum (8)

   -Firstly, come on, use a decent forum system. Visitors to forums hate advertisements. The best way
   to guarantee no ads is to host it yourself. There’s loads of free web hosts out there- there’s loads
   of free forum software, too. So, come on! It doesn’t take much energy to find a good host and
   upload some files. I think the two best forum softwares to use are SMF(www.simplemachines.org) and
   phpBB(www.phpbb.com). -Secondly, if anybody is actually reading the topic with the link to your
   forum in, they must be dedicated to this one, and not many people are dedicated to ....

9. Dynamic Signature - Yet Another Way To Do It

   Create dynamic sigs for multiple users using .htaccess and RewriteRule (0)

   Ever since I connected a program I made in Visual Basic to MySQL database, I had an idea to create
   some sort of a status page... And I did that, where I updated my connection status every 60 seconds,
   updated my Winamp playlist, and several other interesting things... Then, I figured I could create
   an image, and display all that info, and show it on forums, as a signature... And I made a great
   PHP script, that look real fancy, and does the job perfectly... So, I was adding the reference to
   http://status.galahad.trap17.com/stat.php to all the forums... BUT (there's ....

10. How To Create Forum Smilies

    Wanna make your own pixel smilies! For cutenews, your forums, websites, etc.. What you need: A
    graphics program that allows you to zoom in very closely to an image (paint is OK... but not the
    best...) OPTIONAL... a program that has a grid when you zoom in (most graphics programs have them)
    I'll use a program called paint.NET START 1. Copy this image and paste into a graphics
    program 2. Then ZOOM so you can see the image close up. For easy use make sure it is in some sort
    of "grid mode" Example: 3. Draw your eyes, face, nose, ears, etc... Your *may*....

12. Dynamic Signatures - The Real Way To Go

    Forget placing index.php in a signature.png folder. (8)

    This is only a very quick tutorial, meant to complement the dynamic signature tutorials that already
    exist here. It's nothing new, but it was just brought to my attention that not many people seem
    to be aware of this method. This does not cover the actual creation of dynamic signatures, per se -
    but rather a better 'trick' to allow you to use dynamic signatures on forums such as this
    one. I've noticed that most of the dynamic signature tutorials on this forum state that you
    must place a file index.php in a folder .png, in order to trick Invision Power....

    to give your members something to do, place some music videos/any videos/.swf files into posts on
    your forum. By incorporating a poll they can vote on them aswell. First, in the admin

    several months ago. Unlike most other signature rotators on trap17, this one does DOES NOT
    require the configuration process, and a new signature can be added, simply by uploading it to the
    proper directory. Seeing as this requires so much less configuration, I do hope it will be
    implemented by some of you 'Sig Masters' out there /biggrin.gif' border='0'
