siggy and profile images are important

I feel stupid. I don't even know what people are talking about.

I've only ever used this as an app on my phone. Actually logged in on the computer and figured out the Avatar and a short signature! Yay. Thanks for posting this :-)

I can't get my ticket to work..? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@mrsrage I see your siggy pic. What's your ticker issue?

temursgirl · December 2013

I don't see the avatar photo I added or the siggy, but I do see my ticker? I added the siggy photo through tinypic. Any tips to make it work I might have missed?

nunzchucks · December 2013

@temurlang1 Avatar photos take a little time to show. Wait a few hours. Are you adding your picture on your laptop? The easiest way it to copy the direct link and past it in the little box that shows up when you click the picture icon (next to the undo arrow)

I tried adding the HTML code for the ticker but I was doing something wrong because all that would show up would be some text?

nunzchucks · December 2013

@mrsrage Make sure you are using the first code The Bump gives you. Also, you'll need to copy from a lap top/desktop to capture the entire code (in case you are on iPad). When you go to the edit siggy page, click the <> button first so it shows the HTML code. Then try pasting your ticker code.

LilNunz1 Thanks! Looks like it worked.

I have been trying to change my siggy and update my tickers for weeks, but it doesn't work. I have tried to follow the instructions, but I can't get past step 1 because I don't have those icons on the upper right corner. Where are they? How do I get them? Help!

RaisingABuzz · December 2013

Yay! I figured it out....I am awesome! I will have to find a good pic/gif and avatar pic later tonight when I don't have a 2 year old jumping on me. Thanks for the post!

Bump.

PLEASE take a moment to update your profile pic. It doesn't have to be of you, it can be whatever you want. I've noticed that people who just have the default pics are now having their photo rotated out in every single thread they comment in, which makes it really hard to recognize you. Please, please, get a permanent pic so everyone can remember who you are.

Just changed my avatar to a real pic but it's not showing up on the mobile app. I did it from my iPhone and through the full website version of the bump. It shows up on the website, does anyone know if it takes awhile to show up on the mobile app or if I did something wrong??

nunzchucks · December 2013

@hubbs173 I see it on the mobile site! Also, while I have your attention, can you go to the following link and remove the spam flag from @brighteyes112 by clicking "love it" on her comment? Thanks! https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/comment/78461017

hubbs173 · December 2013

@LilNunz1, sure no problem. I didn't even know I had flagged anyone. Sorry!

nunzchucks · December 2013

@hubbs173 No worries! She and I can remove most erroneous flags except our own. Too weird!

hubbs173 · December 2013

@LilNunz1, just did it!! And now I can see my pic!! Sorry @brighteyes112 for flagging you! It was an accident!

If I just have a picture saved to my iPad how do I add it to my signature? Thanks

You need to upload it to tinypic or photobucket and then follow the steps outlined in the blog.

JujuB22 · December 2013

I would love to use a personal image, however have a bit of a stalker issues. Already had to change some screen names.....Maybe I'll find some general internet pick then.

chaysefaith · December 2013

Yes, your photo definitely doesn't have to be of you! Anything to help you stand out will do

JujuB22 · December 2013

Done! Thanks

Yup, mine is a pin-up girl. Not really me, sigh.

puttyeast · December 2013

I think I just updated my siggy to have the picture from our facebook announcement. Checking if it works...

katekat8721 · December 2013

@puttyeast - it worked girlie and it's really cute!

2blessingsin1 · December 2013

I still trying to learn alloy of this and I went to Lilypie to get a ticker and I can't get it to work. Idk what link to put in the siggy box to get it right. HELP PLEASE

Mztwilson · December 2013

Can someone tell me how to do this from an iPhone or iPad?

nunzchucks · December 2013

@2blessingsin1, I would think the HTML signature. However, you need to have clicked on the red <> button first! before pasting the code.

@mztwilson No solution for iPhone. iPad steps are similar. First click the red <> and then put your HTML code in the box.
