How to make a Random Sig (BFN)
User Image


The website I'm using for random images is BlackFireNetwork


Signing up

To sign up to the website, click the marked link:

User Image

Here is the form you need to fill out:

User Image

As a website, I simply placed my photobucket account address.


Logging in

Once you have your account set up, simply log in from here:

User Image


Working around

The service is called Random Images, marked in this pic below. In case that the menus are closed, simply enter Members (again, marked in the pic):

Creating a group

To create a group, click the "New" button. In the free account you have up to 15 groups.

User Image

Now, create a title for the group, and click "Create":

User Image


Adding images

Once you have your group created, click the Picture-icon in order to add images to it:

User Image

Now, go to your uploader (photobucket, tinypic, imageshack), and copy the URL of the pic. In this example, I use my photobucket account:

User Image

Adding the URL to BlackFireNetwork, please make sure you over-ride the http:// already there, as not to create a double. The number at the lower bar represents the "chances" of seeing that image, compared to the others. The higher the number, the more chance that specific pic would be chosen.

User Image

Repeat this until you have all wanted pics. 3nodding


Finalizing

Once your list is full, click "Back". Now click the Globe-icon by your group's name:

User Image

In the URL displayed, mark and copy only the code between the quotation marks. Since Gaia is using BBCode, copying the entire HTML code would do nothing.

User Image

In order to make more room for additional things in your signature, go to www.tinyurl.com and shrink the URL like so:

BEFORE

User Image

And, after shrinking the URL, AFTER

User Image

Now all you need to do is simply place the shrunk URL into your signature, like so:

User Image


All done mrgreen

NEWS

Jan. 08 - I have just come in contact with a BFN represantive concerning the broken images provided from that site. I have been informed that BFN are having trouble handling the load us Gaians provide, and had to temporarily shut down any images displayed here.

BFN and the Gaia webmaster are currently discussing the situation, but I have been warned that BFN may decide to completely remove any connection between their Random Images service and Gaia.

Let's hope for the best.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
I am moving this to the outdated threads, as it seems that BFN is now blocking Gaia.

It is sad, but we will have to survive without it...

Thanks to the Thread Creator for making this, we do appreciate the time you put into this.
