Making a signature

[Capper]

Your signature is a description of your computer system. All members of the HardwareLogic forums are required to make one (So that we may help you solve problems or adise you on upgrade more easily)
you can even simply cut and paste the below template and fill out the information.

To add your signature go to PROFILE>Signature.....enter the information..... and under Preferences select Always Display My Profile. Then hit submit and you are all set

For those of you who are able to host your own pictures and want to have a little bit more of a flashy signature, you can use one of these blank signature templates. Just download the .JPG picture to your image editing program of choice (yes, MS Paint will even work) and type in your system specs. The BankGothic MD font is a common choice to keep the HardwareLogic theme.

Then just save the new image with your system specs as a relatively small .JPG or .GIF file and host it wherever you want. Then just use the [IMG] [/IMG] tags around the url for the picture as the signature you type in and it will show your signature picture!

*note: Please try to keep file sizes as small as possible! Thank You*

The easiest way is to open the template up in MS Paint and open a text box then typ in your specs. You can use other programs too like Gimp or PhotoShop. But just for adding text Paint will work just fine.

There is a good template onto which you can add your specs using Hitman's method (stated above). The prime font for this would be a Trebuchet, Tahoma, Arial or similar @ size 12 (giving you 3 lines of text which looks killer) and the best colour is white - most other colours won't show up well.

My real aim and focus is to get personal requests from any member for a signature and matching avatar. Exact idea of your main colour, the font style/size/design, the general design of the whole thing, other pics you want, dimensions, everything - so I can create one of a kind signatures for people. This is a good template for people to use, but having a one of a kind signature would feel good, no?

So I'm officially open to any and all requests. Obviously you can post anything you want here, but for the specifics, PM is the key!

Again, I recommend the same font as the previous template, simply because all my sigs are 500x75, and size 12 font matches it all perfect. In my personal sig I made it slightly different, though.



P.S. If anyone wants me to make a typing field so you can use straight white or black font again, let me know. It's kinda hard to choose the best font for this template, but I'm sure you could make a white work if you can be a little creative, or even a black. Who knows, maybe more than one colour font ;-]

Check out my Official Signature Request thread to get some custom sigs!

To find out the board, you can download CPU-Z. For the PSU, I'm pretty sure you can just open your case to find out.
