general questions Anyway to upload signature from smartphone?

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I've noticed there's no way of uploading a signature by use of a smartphone. My laptop is broke so I don't have much of a choice.

 

Is there anyway to upload it?

If you're using it as an image from a photo sharing server, i.e Imgur, Tinypic, etc. Switch to the "Full Version" of the site or the "Desktop View" of the forums.

 

Carry out the procedure as normal:

In settings > Signature, tap the "Image" icon and paste the link in there.

 

If you're trying to upload it directly to MLPF, I'm certain that it won't work. All signature images must be "outside" links.

 

Most photo sharing sites are mobile/cell phone friendly, so they should give you an option to upload your image regardless.

One sec, let me try something... 

 

Huh, that didn't work. I was so sure about that...

 

Okay, I've got it working, but the image is a bit big. You should probably get a shorter image.

 

Here's the thing: The URL given by imgur is shortened, it doesn't include the file extension (.jpg in this case). And when you just paste it in, the forum software interprets it as a simple URL, not an image, and wraps it in URL BBCode instead of an IMAGE BBCode. You have to explicitly put in: for it to work properly.

Fudge. The system has already converted it to an attachment. What a pain. Could you PM me with the imgur link? Maybe that would work.
