UPDATED Fuelly Sig Tutorial

UPDATED!!!!

Hey guys, if anyone else has been wondering how to put their fuelly sig in, heres a write up.

1. Find the URL to your Signature on the Fuelly Website. When looking at your Fuelly Profile, scroll down a bit and on the left side will be a link for the different signatures they offer.
2. Use the first link it offers, the Image BB Code one. You should copy everything it has in that box
3. Paste the code into your sig box.
4. Save your signature and then go back to the forums to make sure it's there.

If it's all done right it'll show up in the forums.

Admins, feel free to make this is a sticky if it's deemed useful enough

HAHA, I just looked at your sig and saw "7.4"

All I said to myself was how in the **** is this guy getting 7.4 MPG, my 5.9L truck managed higher than that (albeit not by much).

THEN I looked at the units. . . lol

Hey guys, if anyone else has been wondering (I've gotten 3 requests already) how to put their fuelly sig in, heres a write up.

2. Use the first link it offers, the BBCode one. But instead of using the entire BBCode, use "http://www.fuelly.com/sig-us/XXXXX.png" where the x's are replaced with whatever your sig location # is.
3. Under the "Edit Signature" area on your User CP (CruzeTalk), put in the URL for your Fuelly Sig Pic in the upload Signature Picture area and click upload.
4. Once that's done you should see your fuelly picture below the area your able to type information for the sig. Then you need to put "[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]" without the quotes somewhere in your signature.
5. Save your signature and then go back to the forums to make sure it's there.

If it's all done right it'll show up in the forums.

I am the man haha. You didn't bug me, it took me a bit of messing around with to get right too, so I thought this would be more beneficial than anything.

Glad I could help

I'd like to add my 2 cents...thanks to you for getting me started. I modified mine to link to my fuelly account. Here is what my signature looks like:
{URL="http://www.fuelly.com/driver/ecosleeper/cruze"][SIGPIC][/SIGPIC][/URL}

Except the first and last { & } are replaced with [ & ]

What does it do to link back to your username and not the .png?

There are two different things going on in his 'code' for the sig. First, it's listing a URL to his Fuelly account (URL="http://www.fuelly.com/driver/ecosleeper/cruze"). The second part is inserting the sig picture as a link to the aforementioned account site. The only way you can do this is to have to sig picture uploaded directly, which is what my directions lay out.

It's basically making an uploaded picture a link.

I hope this answered your question??

Ahh, a clickable signature... brilliant (I'm a little slow on the uptake).

And since we're talking about Fuelly, I will need to get my second tank on Monday and my avg is holding steady at 42.5 right now -- I really love this car.

GSDB · Apr 10, 2011

OK, one last question (well, probably not).

Will these signatures get automatically updated from the fuelly website?

former farmer · Apr 10, 2011

Well that was quite easy. Thanks RS LTZ

former farmer · Apr 10, 2011

Just added another fuel-up on fuelly - looks like signature did not update to 10 fuel-ups

Too bad the signature does not update with fuelly

Nice try - will have to see what else would possibly work.

ECOsleeper · Apr 10, 2011

Yeah, it doesn't appear to. Last night I filled up after averaging 44.7 mpg

with an overall average of over 41 mpg. I believe it is because we upload the photo so it stays the same. Looks like you will have to delete and re-upload each time you want to update.

RS LTZ · Apr 10, 2011

I've looked through the Fuelly website and it said that it may take up to 30 mins to refresh the signature picture. But I don't know if that applies to the way outlined above??

ECOsleeper · Apr 10, 2011

Yeah, tested it on one of the other forums I am on that allows linking to images in signatures (vice uploading like this one). Updated almost instantaneously. My guess is we will need to ask the mods to all off site linking to images for signatures to alleviate this hassle.

I made a thread in the feedback section of the forums but no word yet. Hopefully someone will be able to answer soon.

BBCode Signature

BBCode Signature

Maybe that will work. I pm'd the moderator 'cuda and he forwarded our request to the admins.

RS LTZ · Apr 15, 2011

Alright guys, this thread has become kind of outdated now that we got the Image BB Code function enabled for signatures. Just follow the instructions on the fuelly site and it'll update when automatically when you add a fill up
