I don't see this question in EQPlayers where I'm getting my sig from it talks about the paperdoll photo and that you can upload it from in game how is that done? and are they talking about the picture to the side of my character's stats? I would like the picture of main to show here and in the EQ Players profile. I'm fairly new to the game started last August, and just signed up for the forum. sorry if I ask questions that have been asked before.

From here click on *Manage Images*, this will show you your profile picture (if any,default is nothing) and also show you a button to add an image to your profile. There is another tab that says *Manage Screenshots* where you can add screenshots.
Yep, your profile paperdoll becomes your sig paperdoll. I posted a walk-through for someone else a while back that you might also find useful. http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=359258
First of all I want to thank you for the information link to "randomizing your sigs" Great info there. My question, Im sure it is noobish, is this. What must I do if I want my signatures to be random or rotate during a visit without using the refresh ? I have no idea where to begin or where to go. Only thing I do have is the signatures.
Amberlinn wrote: Glad you found it useful! The only dumb question is the one left unasked! Unfortunately, to have the sigs rotate in "real time," you only have a few options: 1. Animate them all together in a GIF file. This isn't random, though, and you will wind up with a pretty large file. You'll also lose a lot of fine details because of the color limitations of the GIF format. 2. Use JavaScript or another client-side programming/scripting language to cause the viewer's browser to refresh the page containing the sig at regular intervals, calling a random sig from the available list as normal on each refresh. On many forums, JavaScript is disallowed because of the abuse potential. It can also really annoy people if your sig is embedded in the forum page rather than inside an iframe (as it is on these forums). They'll be trying to read a thread you've posted in, and the page will just keep refreshing and refreshing and refreshing... 3. Use Flash or another server-side programming/scripting language to push the random images to the viewer's browser. Again, there aren't a lot of forums out there who allow you to embed objects in your sig, mostly to keep the bandwidth usage and annoyance factor to a minimum. Hope this clears things up a bit. If anyone else has a suggestion, though, I'd be glad to hear it...it's always nice to be proven wrong, especially when it solves a problem for someone.
Got some trouble on that "Randoming of the Sigs" Thing is everytime i go to upload my "Random" folder it wants me to open it and upload each file seperately. I noticed where you say to upload the "random" folder and just trying to figure out what I am doing wrong?
That would depend on where you're trying to upload your files to. Most FTP clients will allow you to upload an entire directory and its contents, but as long as "random.php" and "images.txt" are both in the same folder on the webserver, no matter what that folder is called, they should work just fine.
Ok, I have got everything together and loading it upo to my GP website and found out that GP does not support .php files *screams* Do you have any advice on the location of a decent webserver that .php files would be permitted?
A quick Google search turned up some promising hits; maybe one of them will work for you. http://www.google.com/search?q=free...amp;startPage=1
Thanks for everything Seagoat! Your advice and tips and tricks for Sig design were great. So great infact that I have posted links to your site from mine for all who want the best of advice on creating their custom signatures. http://anlahshok.guildportal.com Thanks again!
*pouts* I'm having issues finding somewhere to host my files so I can rotate my sigantures! I went to several free websites and they all won't let me upload the files. I have tried my webspace provided by my cable...it too doesn't work. It's one of these I have tried so many things and I think I almost actually *screamed* Lol.... Anybody have any tips or suggestions for me? lol
I'm guessing you're having trouble finding a place to host "random.php" and "images.txt," not your image files themselves. A Google search for "free PHP file host" turned up a number of promising hits. You might have to shop around a bit, but I'm sure you'll find something that will suit your needs nicely.
Okay...I think I got it, Thank you Seagoat. *Hugs* The list that you linked I had already used...lol took quite a few before I finally found one and then a bunch of messing before it finally worked.
could some 1 actually help me do this please coz i dont get this at all lol - ive never been good with sigs lol
