Smileys in signatures

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or on the techy board so please move it if necessary :)

Is there any way of adding a smiley to a signature, other than the standard ones that are available to use on this site?

I notice that the "add image" option is missing/disabled in the signature edit area, which is understandable to stop people placing banners and large images in their sigs, but I've found a teeny weeny standard sized one I'd like to use for a while if at all possible :D

    AFAIK There is no possible way in vbulletin to control the size of an image a member posts.

    If images the size of smilies where allowed, then members would also be allowed to put the huge postcard-size images in their signature that you see in some forums

    Ok, no worries, I just thought I'd ask :)

    I do understand and also hate those "banners" that a lot of people use on other forums ;)

    Cheers sra :beer:

    Ahhh right, I wasn't around back then. This is what I wanted to add broomstickfly8jc.gif

    Mind you ... :idea: ... the web design team could always add a list of seasonal smilies to the collection :whistle: ;):D

    Great idea C_Q :D

    And maybe some holly and mistletoe around the borders of the site? ;)
  • Arggg seasonal tickers :mad: drove me mad but then so does this :eek: or this :money:in a signature. I don't mind the static smillies but the moving ones do irritate my eyes when reading posts icon9.gif

    Another forum I use, a Disney one, fortunately uses the same software as this so I know how to switch off signatures as they have huge signatures which include pictures and every trip they ever made to Disney along with a ticker to count down their next trip which could well be two years hence icon8.gif

    But I do like like your pumpkin Curry Queen and some seasonal smillies would be nice, Braveheart Martin for St Andrews Day perhaps? icon12.gif

    funnily enough I probably hated the tickers.

    But was one of the things that made the site feel more friendly

    ah nostalgia :D

    Are the tickers the things that counted down to Christmas? :confused:
