I noticed when I updated my Avatar and Signature, that it will not play any animated ones anymore?? Any reason??

That happened when i tried to re-upload mine on another machine, but when i came back to this one, it uploaded fine.

More importantly, why isnt Erebus enforcing the size restriction of signatures anymore? :P

Whoah!!! Glenn resize your sig dude.

400 x 150 is the max size.

Can't people read?! It says quite clearly the size in BOLD

doesn't it restrict the size you can have anyway??:roll:

For AVs it does, not so sure about sigs. People have simply been linking more than 1 file to make their sig bigger than the size limits.

If it automatically restricted the size of sigs, then why would Erebus have to constantly whinge about people's sigs being too big :roll:

It automatically resizes the size of an image in the sig for any individual image, but as Erebus pointed out, people point to multiple images, and there's no way to resize them all in unison to fit inside those dimensions.

I could always change the amount of characters allowed in sigs. That would ruin a fair few peoples signatures.

Keep it as it is.

=; So you'd make time to do that, yet you cant find time to make my pwecious sarcasm tags... [-(

As long as mine is the upper limit of what is permitted, that's fine.

Which you never use anymore anyway:P

i had eight userbars but erebus told me i could only have four.:(

the avatar thing is weird sometimes it says a certain avatar is to big then the next time you try it, it works.

That would solve alot of problems actually..

could i have five userbars erebus, im sure my five would fit undernaeth your troll sig

Yeah I think you can have 5. Just has to fit in the 400 x 150 size limits.
(you do realise that userbars are like soooo 5 years ago right?)

so five years ago, i still go for those teams though.

not if someone was desperate enough to get going in photoshop...

testing sig

ok what am I doing wrong here? whats the deal with putting a sig into the area?

test 2 sig....

I got an animated gif - whats the deal? no animation?

Not quite sure what you're getting at. The space at the bottom is allocated as your signature. Only you cannot have an image > 400 x 150 pixels.

yeah its 400px wide as I read before - but it is an animated gif and its not going thru the frames?

whats the code required to paste in a sig?

Hmm... never really noticed. I did know, however, that gifs with a transparent background don't work in the signature.

See below.

nope this hasn't a transparent background - solid colour - hmmm this is odd?

must be something to with the coding in the sig area that doesn't comply...right click on image and there is a massive extension in front of the actual url address of the image...even when right clicking to 'view the image' shows a encrypted code...

It's probably intentionally set up like this so that people don't have animated avatars. There was a massive whinge-fest six months ago over a stupid [minor] animated advertisement at the top of the page.

Who gives a hoot anyway, we don't judge by the quality of signatures. No, we judge by the quality of submitted rumours!

Oh ok just that I went to some effort to make it move thats all :D but anyways I've come over from the *** Sport forum - I'm hoping that this forum has more diligence and integrity about forum guidelines and mutual respect.

Why you say that?:shock: is it bad here too?:-s I noticed a name thats quite regular with the intolerent remarks on here too...alas no escape from the racism and constant insult and girly pics :roll:

Was kidding. The mods here are pretty good too.

Anyway, I think The Web Guy may have an answer for you re:signature issue. He's pretty scarce these days. FFT experiments and all. But as I said, it's probably to do with avoiding having everyone with an animated signature - that'd be hell.

Ok then...that would be great to get approval of some kind. whats FFT?
