I am really bad at making sigs as you can tell, and is woundering if there was anyone out there that is good, and willing to help me out here. I want the same size, as the image, but could perfer to change the image. I got the image from flaminttext.com’s desktop images.
Thanks for any help.November 21, 2002 at 5:42 pm #99502Jeff HesterKeymasterThere’s something really wrong with your signature… It’s WAY too big! In order to keep the forums from looking like a billboard-laden freeway, I’ve set some limits on image sizes in signatures. These were outlined in the Forum Policies post back in October, which states:
Quote:quote:Linked images (in signatures) must be no larger than 460 pixels wide by 30 pixels tall, and under 8k in size.What is it you want to change about the image? I guess the background is ok but you want to change the foreground? What kind of look were you going for?
November 21, 2002 at 5:47 pm #99508twistedmetalMemberit wasnt that big when i uploaded it…. blah
The font and stuff, I want new pictures, too… if you can give me a site, I can check it out and pick one from there.November 21, 2002 at 5:49 pm #99501Jeff HesterKeymasterThe dimensions of your signature at the moment are 800×600!!! You need to crop the image or change the image dimensions to 468 wide x 30 high.
As for sites with interesting artwork, check out http://www.deviantart.com
November 21, 2002 at 9:43 pm #99507twistedmetalMemberIs there any others, the site contains porno or something, and my schools internet filter N2H2 will not allow me to view he page.
But I will change the dimensions for the one I have at the moment.
November 21, 2002 at 11:40 pm #99500Jeff HesterKeymasterTry searching on Google. And FWIW, deviantart.com doesn’t contain any pornography that I’m aware of. They have wallpaper, skins and artwork. Don’t know why your school would block them, but that’s big brother for you.
November 22, 2002 at 3:09 pm #99506twistedmetalMemberHave any ideas on what I could search for in Google, like “wallpaper skins”?

NudityWOW, so thats what keeps draging me back to that site, ………
While Lingerie is designed to hide from view those ummm seemingly objectionable to view parts of the body……….
and theres nothing gross that I have ever seen there @ ‘deviantart’……..
and ‘tasteless’? by who’s standards? “the repressive order of God fearing monks in denial of the existence of fellow humans”?
N2H2 prolly has banned the Bible……. theres some really gross passages there.;)
Maybe its time N2H2 put bigblueball on da black list to protect lil kids from the nasty peeps that visit here.:DNovember 22, 2002 at 5:23 pm #99505twistedmetalMemberIs this honestly still too big???
November 22, 2002 at 5:33 pm #99504PhilMemberi dont fink thats too big but it would help if the picture wasnt scrambled!! whats happened where ?
November 22, 2002 at 5:34 pm #99499Jeff HesterKeymasterYes. If you want a ribbon- or banner-style signature image, it must be no larger than 468×30 (as explained above). I emailed an example to you that is exactly that size. Did you get it?
November 22, 2002 at 5:42 pm #99509twistedmetalMemberYes OK I recieved. Wow I didnt know that it was going to be that small. But that looks good, do you mind if I use that one sometime?
Im still working on them
Jeff, I also got bored in Paint, and made this image:Is it ok if I use it in other forums, when I include your url for the forum?
November 22, 2002 at 7:22 pm #99498Jeff HesterKeymasterSorry, but if you want to link back to us (even from your signature) you’ll have to use one of these link images. However, I will put together some new link images using our new logo design. Give me a day. 😉
Also, before you put something that some people will perceive as an advertisement, be sure to read the rules for the forum. Many forums don’t allow big image links (ads) for other sites in signatures.
November 22, 2002 at 8:01 pm #99497Jeff HesterKeymasterThis would be a better image to use, and you can add your name and other stuff around it using regular text (more flexible). It also has a transparent background so it will blend it better with any site.
