Posting Badges

Again this is an old bit, but my question is we're only allowed 512 characters. Im using photo bucket, so how to I combine different badges into one window to move over here?

The easiest way would be to combine the badges into a single image using MS Paint or whatever, repost the image to Photobucket, and paste it into your signature.

Anybody use Photobucket?

I use Photobucket to host my pics, but I've never tried to work with the images there, so I've no idea what the options are. Always found it easier to work with the pics in MS Paint or Picasa on my PC, then put them on PB when they were done. (On the other hand, I only add a badge once in a great while, so it's not overly inconvenient.)

If the "wall" you're hitting is the 512-character limit in the sig, that won't give you too many strings. Combining all the badges in one image may be your only option, but I don't know whether you can do that "inside" PB or not.

The other possibility would be to use one of the many GIF makers available, to make an animated version that scrolls through the badges.

Sorry I can't be of more help. Hope you get the problem licked.

Thanks, the 512 character limit is an issue. Appreciate it.

As the others have said, you have to arrange the badges on something like MS paint. Put them all into one image and then load that into PB. You could also use a GIF image maker and have rotating images.
