thank you. i have another question. i do not really want to write on my signature section. all i want to do is put in a small picture. i've tried to follow the directions in the help section but when i bring up my pictures i do not have an option of "use as signature"

Thats a good question I'll add it to first post aswell as here,

when you upload your sig to missbimbo you can copy the link then go to "info" and paste the link in the signature box thing xD and use this code [img]link here![/img]

Hope that helps

I can answer this one!
Go to your profile and click on the 'Upload new photo' tab, browse for your file and click 'save'. It should now be in the ' My Photos' tab. On the right side you should see, under te heading 'action', the word 'avatar'. Click this to set it as your avatar.

thank you

I've got the Gimp.. it's totally confusing.. xD I don't really get the whole drawing system, (or coloring) as I've never learned it in school or have take courses in computer-drawing. Soo, I just manipulate pictures (at least I understand the change-color thing and some of the effects) or make sigs with simple text.

ah don't worry! I used to use photoshop but was sick of wiping my computer clean so i could get a free trial, so i downloaded gimp and found it very confusing! Now i'm doing fairly good at it but still prefer photoshop! Gimp takes time and a lot of patience to get used to

CAN YOU MAKE BACKGROUNDS WITH GIMP

Hey, I work in the banenrs makers thread, but I always get stuck on one thing.
What are the pixel sizes for lines, becuas ewhen people request sizes eg. 5 lines; I get super confused, could you add something about that?
I understand if you can't though!

Hello Ive been getting a few questions on how to do sigs and avis so i decided to made a help thread for it, Here will be a few helpful links to get you started. There is no exact way to make banners and avis, you just have to be creative, experiment, and practice!

First off you need a photo edititing Program, for example:
Gimp, Photoshop, Photofiltre, Paint shop pro, Ect..
I use Gimp Because its free, easy, and can do almost everything Photoshop can.

Once you have one of those above, you'll need brushes:
(Photoshop brushes are now compatible with gimp)
