How to Set Your Avatar/Signature

Jax · June 27th, 2004, 11:53 AM

We've set up a tutorial to teach you step by step how to set your avatar and signature..it can be found here: Avatar/Signature Tutorial.

The rules for your signature area are as follows:

• 200 pixels high
• 500 pixels wide (if it includes a large image, otherwise long text will wrap)
• No foul language please unless you use $%^ or whatever to edit it.
• No offensive emblems such as swastikas, etc. or porn/adult related imagery (this goes for avatars as well please, thanks)
• No verbal harassment of other members unless it is joking and the other person is cool with it.

For size reference:

These sig rules apply to all forums.

Any questions you may have after reading the tutorial may be posted in this thread.

Please do not use this thread to test your avatars/signatures; there's another thread just for that purpose here.

i changed my sig yesterday, but now it seems the "posting field"(dunno how to call it) is too wide. so every thread i post in has to be scrolled from right to left to read the complete post. i tried to change the place of the text but that doesn't help either. what am i doing wrong?????

You appear to have too many indents in there, if you remove a couple of those it should work fine. Don't forget it also depends on resolution, so while if you reduce the number of indents to fit your screen, it may not work for everyone else as well

right, tried to change it (decrease indent button), but now my posts aren't just wide, they're "high" as well. sorry, i don't know much about these things. i don't know if the post appear the same to you , but it's pretty annoying...

You cant use a pic thats on your computer in your signature?

No, it has to be on the web..you can use photobucket.com for image hosting if you don't have a web host..

i cant seem to find a picture small enough to get in my avatar, apart from something sh*t.

It can only be 100x100..yours looks like it's 100 pixels tall, so it's not going to get any bigger..
