RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by blessedguy on 04-19-2009 at 04:01 PM

Like skydrive...


RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by Blah.Kid on 04-19-2009 at 04:11 PM

ok, im trying it but when i enter the URL it just appears in the sig, not a picture. or does the preview button not work properly?

Upload it to an image hosting site such as Imageshack or other.

EDIT: The preview does work properly. Paste the code you're using. (Also, what internet browser are you using?)


RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by Blah.Kid on 04-19-2009 at 04:14 PM

i used sky drive like suggested earlier, why doesnt that work?


RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by vaccination on 04-19-2009 at 04:16 PM

Okay, It looks like you're using Chrome, in which case the text box field has some issues, you'll need to use the Chrome feature of extending the input area(using the little tab in bottom right-hand corner), then ensure that the code is all on one line, then hit preview or update. (Note that after you preview the size of the input area reverts back to default, this means you'll need to resize it again for when you click update.)

ok thanks!!!, what are the max dimensions of the sig?


RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by vaccination on 04-19-2009 at 04:29 PM

Avatars & Signatures:
Maximum avatar width: 150 pixels.
Maximum signature dimensions: 590 pixels wide, 125 pixels high.
Maximum file size for avatar images and total signature images: 100 kilobytes.
Images must work, and must load reasonably fast.

Before clicking "Submit", remove all spaces between lines...

Btw, you might wanna host it somewhere else, atm it seems as though you're hosting it in a private folder on Skydrive, this means that no one else can see it.


RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by Blah.Kid on 04-19-2009 at 04:45 PM

ok, its uploaded, how do did you guys center it? man this is a lot more work than i though it would be! :)

how come when you guys have the blue bg from your text your sig doesn't have a white box as its bg ground ho did you create the transparency?


RE: [HELP] Picture as Sig by blessedguy on 04-19-2009 at 05:05 PM

We use the alpha channel... and .jpg images don't support it. Use any image editor wich supports alpha (like GIMP, Photoshop), send the white color to alpha, and save as .png or .gif.
Try using this:
