How to make bitcointalk signatures [ Logo and Images included ]

[BenArter]

Well having been fascinated by Bitcoin for the past couple of years and had a Bitcoin Forum account for some while now, I thought it was high time I got more involved and tried to get to grips with how this forum works...

Going through my profile settings I have been somewhat perplexed as to how to create a signature/add an avatar and was delighted to find the information posted in this thread. Thank you very much!

As a newbie here with very little spare time, is it unrealistic that I can create a decent signature myself? I like to think that I am quite tech savvy but have no coding experience whatsoever. Whilst the tutorial re. 'How to make bitcointalk signatures' would suggest that it can be fairly simple and I should 'have a go', some of the other contributors lead me to believe that you really need to immerse yourself in this task and, even then, it could take someone with years of BBC experience several hours (which I don't have) to create a decent signature. Perhaps I should be paying someone to create one for me? Then again maybe that is a bit lame! Do I even need a signature?

I was just about to post this and then noticed that it looks like the more involved in the forum one becomes, the greater the ranking one achieves and the higher ones rank, the more characters one is granted to create a signature - would that be correct? Apologies if I should really be aware of this already - I guess I should be checking out some newbie guidelines!

Sorry, Just realized that you can't set an avatar while you are New Member.
You will need to be at least Full Member to do that.
Read more about the ranks here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0

To add an avatar to your bitcointalk profile:
1. click Profile
2. Forum Profile Information
3. Go Here

Thanks for the kind heart and sharing with us

Thank you very much, very detailed instructions. Your posts are very useful and I saved it all in notepad.

Here is an offline BBCode editor you can use to render the image without using the Preview Editor, it can render the image in almost realtime making it easy and faster to create the image from the block character.

Screenshot of it displaying the image shown here

Thanks for sharing this software with us . I tried it with my own signature codes that work absolutely fine on the forum but are displayed incorrectly in the software. I think it only supports basic bbcode tags like color and size but fails to render table and font tags. So we should stick to the online preview method only while designing signatures for the forum.

Although you need a certain level member in order to do some deeper signature formatting.

Yes, you need to have higher ranks for better signatures but you can design signatures for any ranks no matter what your rank is !

Thanks a lot

thank you very much. i will test the tool and use your guide for my signature after my byteball camp is over.

http://morgh.us/pixelate works for pictures. but https://manytools.org/hacker-tools/convert-image-to-ansi-art/ only shows text if i use the output here.

[concatmedial8]

You dont have to write this much if you could have included just a youtube video link LOL

[Linuld]

Nice thread.

[knackergays8]

What is the need of these signatures? And i think it would have been better to attach your private video documentary

[fernandoaleixo]

Thanks I was looking for this. 

[jumbo]

Thank you, actually very handy instruction.

I've already played with it a bit, it allows to do really nice signatures. 

Do yo know any tool, that would have an integrated symbol counter and some optimizer? Nowadays there are strict limits for that. My be some plugin for the Offline BCode editor?

Hello everyone I am good in BBcodes and have seen people paying quite heavy for some signatures and I thought why not teach everyone how it's made and it would be good that more people will be able to do it and rather more distributed earnings for all.

I am creating this just for signatures and not going into all the attributes used.

First of all learn how it works, there are some parts and each step will take you to a higher learning. I have tried to keep it very simple but don't hesitate to ask me anything as first time we all learn something.

- How to make use the following stylings : Bold, size, change font, colour, background color

Typing anything you want and use the attributes given .. like if you want to make "bilochoa" with the styles given below

bold - simply use

Code:

[b][/b]

example :

Code:

[b]bilochoa[/b]

size - Just use

Code:

[size=10pt][/size]

you can define the size limit by the value as you can see it's 10pt you can make it anything like 15,16,etc

example :

Code:

[size=12pt]bilochoa[/size]

color of font - you can use

Code:

[color=pink][/color]

and define the colour or even use hexcode ( must have # before the code )

example :

Code:

[color=pink]bilochoa[/color]

NOTE : You can and have to use transparent color too at times.

change font - use the following

Code:

[font=Verdana][/font]

and you can define the font you want to use.

example :

Code:

[font=calibri]bilochoa[/font]

background color - Put the text between

Code:

[glow=red,2,300][/glow]

and define the colour.

example :

Code:

[glow=red,2,300]bilochoa[/glow]

links - use

Code:

[url][/url]

but make sure all the content in between, make sure you always cover all the opened tags and closed ones too you used to design the text.

example :

Code:

[url][size=12pt][color=red]bilochoa[/color][/size][/url]

Let's quickly use them all to make sure we are going in the right direction.

Code:

[size=20pt][color=pink][glow=red,2,300][b]bilochoa[/b][/glow][/color][/size]

NOTE : Important : You must use [size] outside the [glow] tag because if you use it inside it will not work properly.


- How to make use the following stylings : alignment and tables

If you want to align something use the tag as follows :

Code:

[left][/left]

or

Code:

[right][/right]

or

Code:

[center][/center]

as per your need.

Make sure you always use it outside of all the tags to make sure it works the best.

like

Code:

[center][tag1][glow...][/glow][/tag1][/center]

Now coming to the tables it's a very important and exciting thing to be done in signatures


Any table you make must start with

Code:

[table]

and end with

Code:

[/table]

How to make a table

- Define

Code:

[table]

and close it

Code:

[/table]

and now we are gonna work between these two tages to make rows and columns

Remember one thing always columns means horizontal like | column 1 | column 2 | | column 3 |

while rows means vertical like      |
                                                 |
                                                 |
                                                 |

I am using it like that so you can understand.

Now first of all let's make a simple table which would means that we put large text to the left and right side will have two lines

Hello

This is text 1 This is text 2

here is the exact code for the table above

Code:

[table]
[tr]
[td]
[size=20pt]Hello[/size]
[/td]
[td]
This is text 1 
This is text 2
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Here you see we have made 1 row which means and 2 columns and the first column I made the text bigger so it looks good.

Code:

[tr]

defines rows and

Code:

[td]

defines columns.

Here what we did was we made 1 row and 2 columns ... in that one column is for Hello and one with 2 sentences


- How to make images as BBcodes

Since forum does not allow direct images therefore we have to add tiny particles together and make the images.

This can be done by two ways

- Manual : Draw with little elements in notepad and use it.

- Automatic ( recommended ) : visit here : https://manytools.org/hacker-tools/convert-image-to-ansi-art/go

and just upload your image ( make sure it has while background else it won't work )

or use this https://morgh.us/pixelate/ ( transparent/white/any colour background will work in this )

Please ask me anything you want and I will gladly help as you want, here or privately.

i can't type more code, why? because my rank?

[amirsohail01]

very nicely explained mate, kudos to you.

[ribm4]

Thanks for the step by step clearance of the doubt and explaining the steps.

[bitstibit]

Im reviewing all the links but still don't know how to do it.

[Cryptonatureben]

Thanks a lot

[arzunpathak]

This information is really helpful, I've learned something new, I thought it takes a lot to make such things, but it is easy and it needs practice.
Thank you for this, love you guys.
