A guide to AVATARS and SIGNATURES (no more new topics!)

[LocoColt04]

Anything that says <br> or <br /> is a line break.

Removing those will reduce/remove the spaces in your signature. Would you like me to go through it for you, or would you like to do it yourself? Your call; I don't mind modifying it for you if you'd rather not risk messing it up or something.

[Tenran]

I'll try doing it myself first after saving the text and commands to notepad. If that fails, or I screw it up somehow, I'll restore it to before I started messing with it and ask you then, if you still don't mind.

Thank you for both the answer and the offer!

[Tenran]

Um... Better, I think, but I'm still not sure where those spaces are coming from. At least they aren't as excessive as they were before.

I did figure out how to get rid of the bold for the final comment though, so that's a plus!

If you can tighten up my sig more than that, you're welcome to do so if you are still inclined to help! I may be care free, easy-going, dark, and evil (according to these two tests anyway), but I don't want to be overly rude with my sig size...

[Hakkai]

I have a problem with my avatar I am trying to use gifs and I can see the picture but it's supposed to be moving which it isn't I have tried many on this website and it doesn't work.

[Angel-chan]

That odd I did that and all it show was a link on mine

[LocoColt04]

Umm, your signature says this:

[CENTER][img]http://images.pimp-my-profile.com/i47/6/12/2/bn_1060caf1ff.png[/img][url=http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/]Banner generated at Pimp-My-Profile.com[/url][/CENTER]

Now, last time I checked, the very first post says to use html because the [img] tag is DISABLED. Therefore, you can't use it, so you'll need to rewrite it.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ok i'm still a little new and i no how to do the sigs and everything but why has the img code shut off cause i want to put a pic in my sig but the only thing i can get to com up is a link and the picture isnt a link, any help i can get on it?

[LocoColt04]

Read the post directly above yours. Your question has already been answered dozens of times, and it's answered in the very first post of the thread.

[Darkwolf]

Probably a stupid question... but how do you scroll text in your signature? I heard that it was like normal tags but it says "marquee" in it. How do you code that? I'd like to shorten up my sig a little by doing that.

[LocoColt04]

I heard that it was like normal tags but it says "marquee" in it.

[marquee]

...you answered your own question.

[Darkwolf]

Ok, I got it now. I typed [marquee/] and then [/marquee] so that's was going wrong

[Boco]

That's the proper code:
lol

[Azriel]

How do you make your picture in your signiture smaller? Or just change the size anyway.

[LocoColt04]

Image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Paint. Depending upon the quality of the image you wish to attain, different programs will suit different needs. If you want/need suggestions, go to the Digital Community forum.

[Darkwolf]

How do you put animated gifs in your avatar/sig? I have a program called pivot stickman animator and I want to put something from that on there. You can save em as gifs, but I tried to put it as an avatar and It wasn't moving. It has a 3 frame animation, so It didn't have too much movement.

[zell_dincht0808]

Thanks Loco i've been on this forum for a while and I have always had a few troubles with signatures . . . after your help its all clear !

Also . . . that pic isn't too big, is it ?

[Victoria]

Yes, it is.

[LocoColt04]

...no, it's not.

The maximum height is for combined images 450, and your image is only 448 pixels tall. Ignore Piro, he didn't take the time to actually check for himself.

[zell_dincht0808]

Ok thanks I kind of did anyway but I like to push the boundary as much as I can, I guess I could have made it another 2 more pixels high.

[Victoria]

Actually I did check, but I include text as well, since it is also part of the signature. and with text included, it's too big.

I mean, if the rule is with images alone, i could have text in my sig that's 3 screens long and I won't be breaking the rules. =P

In other words, if you have an image (or series of images) that is taller than 450 pixels, you will be asked to remove it. Text and images together should not account for more than 600 pixels in height, as that is more than large enough. If you don't alter your signature after being asked, it will be altered for you. Continued abuse will result in a signature ban.

I think the sig is more than 600px in height with the text included. I'll have to check.. >.>;

Edit: Nope.

[E L L Y]

My sig isn't too long or is it?

[Darkwolf]

Ok, so here's my story
When I got back from being inactive for weeks, I found that the "edit signature" thing had been changed, and I wanted to put up a new signature.
So I put up the code, and when I looked, it was just a url link.
Finally after 3 tried I got a better code from Chez.... still just a url link.
So there it is, the link. Can you give me a code/do something so I can have my sig back up?

[LocoColt04]

If you read the first post in this thread, it tells you what to do.

It's pretty simple. <img src="http://image-location.jpg">

That's all there is to it.

[Darkwolf]

still, not working.
I don't know what's wrong with it, but I just put in that code and when I did "preview signature" it showed up right, but it's right back to the link. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but apparently I'm doing something. Here's the code I used:
<img src="http://img101.mytextgraphics.com/photolava/2007/03/24/notallheroes-45ww1kvx7.jpg">

... and this is why I came to you

[LocoColt04]

There's a chance the site may not allow hotlinking. Try uploading it at tinypic or photobucket instead, and see if that makes a difference.

[Prodigal Madness]

<-Noob->

How do I put links, with typing replacing the appearance of the link? z_z

So I don't lose it later: http://thefinalfantasy.net/forums/sh...&postcount=531

</noob>

[Furore]

Easiest way is probably typing the text, highlighting it and then clicking the link button up top. Just backspace the http:// and paste in your URL.

Hope this helps, celtic_silver

[LocoColt04]

Or, for future reference, here's the code.

Use the [url] tag -- specifically, [url=address]TEXT[ /url] (without the space).

[Darkwolf]

Hey Loco, I found out why.
Basically, I think that If I put the code and select preview signature, it does something to it to screw it up. It's no big deal now, but thanks for helping me.

[Omega Weapon]

Also, if your signature is 75% of the viewing area on a 1024x768 resolution, IT IS TOO LARGE. There is no reason why people should have to scroll down an entire page just to get through your signature. That's ridiculous.

Thats great Loco, The best point , But I have a small question please:
If we want to report about any bad or large signatures, What must we do?

Already thankful
