Greetings, folks. Been away awhile, mired in one of those times when the world has been pulling me in a dozen different directions at once, and I've been indulging in Photoshop therapy: just goofing around with the greatest computer program of them all, making graphics with no deadlines. I find userbars to be a nice outlet, and I've made a few. Sixty or so. I lost count.

The standard for userbars is 350 pixels wide, but I made these for gomeangreen.com at 570 pixels wide, which will fit in the message window at 800x600 resolution without widening the message window. I have updated my previous userbars to use the standard userbar font, and I've added a few bits such as the talon claw to the chant userbar.

I've got userbars for fans of every UNT sport and a few individual athletes, including Giovanni Vizza and Casey Fitzgerald. I've got userbars for the music department, the One O'Clock Lab Band, the Green Brigade, and KNTU. There are three for the North Texas Dancers and several for some of UNT's famous exes, including Brave Combo, Peter Weller, Larry McMurtry, Don Henley, and Norah Jones. There's one to declare you're a UNT student or alumni, and a new one for the Pit Crew.

There's even a userbar for TY Sports. About time, too.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.

im in the same boat i love these but have no clue how to use them.

Click on the userbars link and pick one out.

right click on it, scroll down and click on "properties".

Copy the properties address.

Come back to GMG.com and click on "My Controls" above at the top of any page and click on "Edit Signature" in the left hand column.

A box will appear and click on the link icon above. It looks like a little tiny window picture frame right next to the smiley's icon drop down box.

When you click on the link icon a small box will appear and you paste into that box the properties address which you copied earlier.

Then click OK and your done. It should appear at the bottom of each post.

I have not used GIMP. What do you think of it?

Amazing and free alternative to PS. It could easily handle what you do for gmg.com, however I'm not sure to what extreme you use PS.

I'm not an expert by any means, so I wouldn't know what/if GIMP lacks for the advanced user. FWIW, I've found everything I've ever needed including filters, effects, colors, etc...

There is another thing you can do.

1) Drag the image to you desktop

2) Open up a photobucket.com account.

3) Upload the image to photobucket.

4) The image is given an e-mail / IM link, a direct link, a html code, and an image code

5) Copy the Image code. (Should start with %7Boption%7D)

6) On GMG go to My Controls and then Edit Signature

7) Paste the img code

8) Click Update Signature and you should be set.

      A tiny bit of good news alumni-wise on a tough Monday. Kemon Hall promoted by Cowboys

      Understood. Sorry for your repeated traumatic football events. I'll be like you one day.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      Harbaugh was considered "too costly" by Gretchen Bataille, our President at the time. He basically used us for interview experience and got the Stanford job. RV basically realized that to keep his job, as always, he just had to stay in budget, so he hired Todd Dodge from Southlake Carroll, who brought over his coordinators from the high school to be our coordinators. The good news was that Dodge didn't cost us too much, so we fired him after he was deemed affordable to let go, as it only cost us $325k to fire him, after his spectacular 6-37 record. And thank goodness we didn't fire him after his third season, or else that $325k we saved by letting him coach again for a 4th season got us one extra win for Coach Dodge and it allowed us to have our best season since 2006, at 3-9. RV got to keep his job as AD for another 9 years after hiring Dodge in 2007. Even though he hired the worst football coach in our history (Dodge), the worst women's basketball coach in our history (Shanice Stephens), and a men's basketball coach that absolutely destroyed a program that had been in the NCAA Tournament and had a great 5* recruit herein exactly one season (yet still got 5 years to coach). He was only let go after the 17 boosters he had fleeced for years to pay for access to our program decided that paying off the contract of Dan McCarney for over $2 million immediately following the worst loss in modern college football history on Homecoming against an FCS program in Portland State 66-7 was too much to swallow and eventually saw him leave in the spring of 2016. No matter how frustrated anyone is with our athletic department right now, its light years better than it was back then.

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      Can't believe he murdered that boy scout. That CEO was on his way to save a bunch of children from a burning skyscraper too...

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      I have no idea what point you are attempting to make. The basketball team is doing fine at this point, have you already decided this won't be a good year before the first conference game? Likewise the new DC of football is not worthy, based on what?

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      I prefer "alleged revolutionary". but don't worry...the picture is gone and replaced by something that could never ever potentially murder anybody.
