Stickybeaks Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi I'm new to all this and I've noticed that on the forum lots of people seem to have incorporated hen and eglu icons into their signature at the end of messages. I can add the icons during a message (there's proof, but even my computer geek of a husband can't manage to get them to come up at the end of my message. Can anyone help? Thanks Manda Betsy Elsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 There are topics in the Need Help Using The Forum sticky which explain how to add emoticons to your signature and also how to add avatars and photographs etc. As you're new to the forum, it might be worth taking a few minutes to read the topics covered by the stickies in each section as they work like FAQs.

Stickybeaks Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Thank you. The sticky wasn't a lot of help in the actual mechanics, but fortunately, I have a computer literate teenager who told me to type the icon codes into the signature box!

Stickybeaks Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 V. good teenager! It's a large ceramic cow which was part of a large street exhibition in Chicago (I think). I didn't see the exhibition but hubby kindly bought me a miniature and then found this photo. Betsy and Elsie are doing well. Not laying yet but very cute and funny. They are mad for sultanas and same teenager has taught them to jump to get them! How are your girls doing? Manda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi Manda, I think the problem came with confusion over what the little chicken pictures are called. The sticky calls them "emoticons" and James did a really good tutorial for me on how to apply them to signatures. I'm guessing that you were looking for "icons" and that's why you couldn't find how to do it. Sorry about that, I should have made that clear in my reply but glad to see you managed to put your hens in your signature after all - aren't teenagers wonderful! Love the avatar!

Mrs Frugal Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hey, no worries! I had no idea until I started reading this forum either!! It's amazing what you learn when you get a couple of chickens, isn't it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
