Minoeman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Okay, this question may seem odd but, how do the rest of you make your signatures bigger than 500x150 :?: Quote We should all be...

david.atwell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The signature size limit on this forum is 500x150. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

david.atwell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Check the size using "Properties." It's 500x150 exactly. I have text beneath the image, though. You're free to add in two lines of text (or more if it is smaller). Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

david.atwell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Our images are precisely the same size. Download it and place it over the top of yours in Paint.NET to see for yourself.

Myrddin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We also have to take into consideration members with slower Internet connections. You would not appreciate it - in particular the Pictorium/Tutorials section - if you had to wait twice as long because someone/-people had a signature of epic proportions.

david.atwell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Plus, on a selfish note, we mods would find ourselves scrolling past one person's 800x1280 Tome Signature to get to the next post so that we could moderate it. *shudder* :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 .... You're free to add in two lines of text (or more if it is smaller). Two lines? :?

david.atwell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hard limit, yes. But we don't want those five hundred characters to be... s p a c e d v e r t i c a l l y . . . ...now, do we? :-P The two-line limit is much more flexible.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You're safe anyway, so I wouldn't worry. Actually I'm very close to the 500 character limit. It takes only a handful of URLs and a link to the signature file Not that I'm complaining mind you. I just have to be careful about what I include.

ariel76 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I am new to this forum, but I was wondering if you ever have banner contests? I didn't want to open a new thread for this question, and beings the banners go in the sigs, I figured that I would post my question here. So... any contests for banners?

If that is the case, could you be so kind as to direct me to that thread? BTW... I am totally diggin that banner. I commented on your banner in the thread that you rate the sig above yours. :-) Quote My photo blog/MySpace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChitoDog Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I've noticed that many members have their Signatures centered in the middle of their posts. How does one do that?? Help anyone? Thanx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well, first of all, you need to change out the HTML in your sig for BBCode. To center the image you link to in your sig, you'll need to format it like this: [center][img=http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg32/ChitoDog/NEW_CHROME_SIG_PDN.png][/center] ...which will make it look like this: Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

ChitoDog Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 HAHA! I was trying that out at the same moment that you were posting the reply David. I was going to come on and edit my post to say that I figured it out, but you beat me to it lol Thanx for the quick reply though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
