Although I'd love to have a vial, it's in my policy to make sigs for free. I am glad you like it, though.

You have to post it to a Image site (ImageShack is a good one). Then under your siganture post an image with the address that the site gives you, and you should be all set

To put your uploaded banner into your signature, you have to go to the User CP, go to Edit Signature, copy and paste the Image Tag (which you should be able to find on your image hosting site) into the the white textbox. Click Preview Signature if you want to check it out before hand, then click Save Changes.

Uhh... Unless you want some really fancy stuff, it's very easy.

Obtain a screenshot or picture of whatever you want in your signature. If you have any of them lying around in your Guild Wars file that you may have taken in game, it would be perfect. Otherwise you'll have to find something else you want.

Then open it in paint. Yep... Ordinary old MS Paint works fine. Unless you've already messed around with the buttons, the default thing should be selected. It just draws little rectangles all over the place when you click and drag. If you look in the buttom right corner, or wherever it is, it will show you the dimensions of the box. Use this so you know that it is of appropriate size. Keep it as small as possible or the big-sig-police will behead you. Once you've drawn the little rectangle around what you want your signature to be, press CTRL+C to copy the contents of the box. Then go to File and New. Now hit CTRL+V to past it. Use the "handles" on the white background so that you can no longer see any white back ground (click and drag buttom right corner until it is behind sig). Now save it as JPG and host it at http://imageshack.us/ . Then copy the thing that looks something like this into your signature box:

If signatures and avatars are hosted by sites other than gwguru....then why are there strict limits to file/image sizes? Is this a purely aesthetic reason so we all match or something? On the other side, gwguru does have a larger tollerance than some other sites, and that is one of the reasons why I stick by here

How about we post our thoughts on other peoples sigs? Anyone find the 'best sig ever' and want to show us? Doesn't matter if it is, or isn't, from a gwguru member, just keep it clean

And check out my sig

Daemon - its there simply because large sigs can get unsightly, plus in consideration for our dialup users [and people with lower resolutions] we want sigs to be an accessory, not a focal point.

Since aquiring Adobe Photoshop, I haven't been using anything else. I am willing to make free custom signatures. I'm not professional like some, so don't expect wonders, but I can do a decent touch up (provided the screenshot isn't crap).

Send Private Message if you are interested, including the picture or screenshot. The picture in the PM will have to be displayed using [IMG] (I'm not downloading pictures), use Photobucket to host images.

You can also specify details you wish to see on your signature (font, colors, size, etc...).

Disclaimer: Doing Guild Wars Character signatures or Guild signatures only. No proffanity, no nudity, no immaturity, just common sense.

What are the restrictions on the signatures so i can make mine within spec. i knew it was a bit big.. hope this is small enough now, for future suggestion, may want to add something in the user control panel about image restrictions so poeple dont make sigs to large.

This is my first ever avatar created by me. I never thought of taken screen shots but I did take 1 and I wanted to use my own game character so here it goes.

Thank you Weezer Blue I follow your instructions.
