What a great button! I've snaffled it for my blog as well as my sig. Smile

Thank you.

I can't get it to save as a gif - so my star doesn't flash. Also, how do you get it in your sig? I know, I'm a complete eedjit as far a html is concerned. Has someone a letter by letter code thingy I can copy complete?
love

Aha - although it saves to my PC as a gif, when it uploads to my blog and to Flickr it turns into a jpg. hmm.
and you can see I failed to get even the jpg to load into my sig. LOL! what's a gal to do!

I think (!) that the img tags in your signature need to be surrounded in square brackets not the pointy ones (there must be a proper name for those. . . . . . and I don't think it's "Madonna's Jubblies" !! Laughing

) Not sure about the jpg conversion thing though - I use photobucket and that worked as a gif?

Yes you are right the img tags should have square brackets round them to make them bbcode instead of HTML.

I don't use Flickr either, but I am pretty sure there must be a way of saving it as a gif. I am sure someone who uses Flickr will be along soon to tell us how it is done!

I used imageshack so can't help with flicker. But when I saved it on my pc initially it saved as a png. It was only later I realised my mistake and fixed it to gif. Smile

if you copy the text above and then put [img] at the beginning and [/img] at the end it should work...you just put the text in the signature box in your profile.
don't click the link unless you want to save the pic on your pc....i've already uploaded it so you just need the text.
