How to get the finch icons in your signature

[Jayburd]

I have been asked this question so many times now

- OK first up yo have to register an account with http://www.finchbreederdatabase.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . It's free, easy and a great record-keeping site for all your birds, finches or otherwise.
- Once you are a member, do whatever you need to do, set up your record keeping etc.
- Now you want your little birdies in you signature.
- Go to the main forum page (Board Index)
- select the "Everything Related to Finch Breeder Database" forum
- go to "Updates & Modifications" topic - page 2
- 4th post down - click the link to "Signature Generator" - It may ask you to log in again, it does that sometimes
- it will come up with a new page, with all your bird icons that you have created bird records for. So if you create a record for your zebra finch, a little zebra finch icon will turn up here.
- You can move around all your icons into the order you want them using the area immediately above the "size" area.
- On the right select the option for "aussiefinchfoum.net colour"
- Press save
- It will come up with a little popup saing tht the info was saved.
- Now below the save button, copy the link immediately below. It should read
- Go back to the aussie finch forum
- Go to your user control panel
- Select Profile
- On the left control bar select signature
- Paste the link into the signature
and there you go

Maybe I can explain it better as it was my confused mind that created it.
There is English manual here "HELP", where you can find 'Signature' section that has links and describes how to activate your signature.
-My site(http://www.finchbreederdatabase.com/) is not about signature icons, but about bird records, so you will need to take extra steps.
-First you have to create a record for each bird. You add records from Front Page (My Birds). Click 'Add New Bird' button. It has two steps: first step you create a basic record (select sex, species, and status) and the second step (bird profile) you add extra information about your bird. You can change your birds' icons on top of the second page, or by double clicking on the birds' icons from the table with all your birds ('My Birds' table). There are many different icons available for different species, mutations and sex. For Gouldians it is even better to use button 'Genetics' from Mutation section (bird profile). It will give you access to even more number of icons (over 90 icons available for Gouldians).
After you've done with birds and their icons, you should see the list of your birds in 'My Birds' table. Now is a time to create a signature. There is 'Options' button on your 'Front Page'. Click on it or click here. It will send you on the page that enable your signature.
Check 'Allow signature.' and then click 'Save'. It will activate you signature image. You have to do this because you revealing your information to the public.
You will see two gray boxes: the top with your signature image, and bellow the icons that represent your in-stock birds. Use the second box to reorganize your icons. Save again and you will see that your signature image will be organized the way you did it.
You can change some other properties of your signature, background and size. I like to select transparent background and change the width. The height could be changed automatically to fit all your birds. You can play to get used to it.
Next you have to copy your address of the signature image. It is in the green font that looks like this:

Code: Select all

But with your id at the end. And then click on "To insert in httpp://www.aussiefinchforum.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; click here." It will send you directly to your signature on this forum. Insert this line and it is done.
