I'd rather have the bigger sigs than animated ones. Who wants each thread to become full of images as bad as most animated advertisements?

Pithhelmet to the rescue.

So we'd have to start blocking people's sigs? How annoying.

Not blocking, just turning off animation or at least looping. Still annoying, of course, especially considering the speed issues with the new PithHelmet betas.

Turias · Aug 13, 2004, 11:16 AM

The easier solution would be to keep the animation guidelines how they are.

Stradlater · Aug 13, 2004, 11:18 AM

Agreed.

I'm getting used to the new sig guidelines...some of them look really nice. And some of us just threw things together for the sake of it; I'll try to make a real sig later.

pman68 · Aug 13, 2004, 11:20 AM

Just re-did mine. Yippee!!

May need to re-fresh browsers though....

Actually spent more than 5 minutes (OK, it was 10 this time) on a new sig. Improvement?

You can turn off sigs in your forum prefs. No one has to seen them.

PacHead · Aug 13, 2004, 01:30 PM

What's the deal with the 200 X 50 ?

Is that pixels or what ?

I made a sig in that size, but it shows up small.

PacHead · Aug 13, 2004, 02:38 PM

I'm obviously a moron when it comes to sigs, but anybody know why my sig is so damn small ?

This is what the sig size is when linked directly to it.

Why does it shrink, when put into the sig ? It's the same exact one.

It ain't the same image, chief.

Big (too big for a sig, anyway): http://www.imageuploader.net/images/107442dogcrap.jpg

Small: http://www.imageuploader.net/images/...442dogcrap.jpg

Ah, ok, yeah, it was making a thumbnail of it for some reason when it uploaded. I think I have it figured out now. And yes, I know the size was too big. Gonna fix that now.

(edit) - so, after a bunch of uploads and messing around, my sig is finally 200 x 50. It seems the imageuploader site linked to a thumbnail picture in their code, which I pasted into the profile.

Who wants to each thread to become filled with 75%+ of sigs and 25%- of actual content?

Who are you kidding - there wouldn't be 25% content if you took away all the sigs.

The size constraints (esp. filesize) should keep that from happening.

SOLIDAge · Aug 14, 2004, 09:11 AM

nothing to special here.

CreepingDeth · Aug 14, 2004, 11:59 AM

I like mine. I was going for a distressed looking sig. But with the new guidelines, I can up the sig size, so it's back to Photoshop. I'm thinking something simpler.
MindFad, how did you get your sig to change every once in awhile. Did you change those manually, or what?

Probably a php or pearl script.

See this thread, this post in particular.

CreepingDeth · Aug 14, 2004, 12:59 PM

Too much work for me. Any ideas for my sig? I had an album cover artwork in mind for it, but I'm still not sure.

as2 · Aug 14, 2004, 12:59 PM

I can't remember how big my sig was, I think I just copied someone elses for the size...

What it links to is bollox though!

splatq · Aug 14, 2004, 07:21 PM

Crap, I think I deleted my PSD file for this sig, and I really don't feel like making a new one.

CreepingDeth · Aug 14, 2004, 07:40 PM

IF Zimph ever checks his PM, I'll show you my new sig. I spent awhile masking some stuff, getting a texture, and adding some interesting highlights. That's why I think the 3 best Photoshop features are Layer Styles, blending modes, and Levels.

Ya gotta keep a backup of this stuff. Just do this. In the Documents folder, make a folder called "Archives", then in that folder make "Photoshop", then "Web Picture". It's the best way I found to keeping some of this stuff I make in order, without the software.
