animated gifs are okay if and onlt if they are unobtrusive and small in size (meaning size of the file)

thanks for the answer Mat

On the "signature too large" topic, I'd like to offer a suggestion.

 

Let's say we want to limit a signature to 200 pixels high. In order to help moderators, we can place an image behind the signature that will show up if the height exceeds 200 pixels. It'd be fairly simple to implement:

 

1. Create a 230px by roughly 400px image with the top 200x400 pixels transparent and the bottom strip containing a warning message.

2. A simple forum modification places signatures in their own <div class="signature">.

3. Place the image in the background of the <div> with CSS, having it repeat horizontally.

 

It's really not a difficult or time-consuming modification, but it's worked wonders at another forum I frequent.

 

Not that it's necessary, but I think it could be useful.

 

EDIT:

Yes, I realize my sig image is over 100px high. It'll be chaging soon.

Could anyone resize the pic I'd like to use for an avatar?

Post this request on the Artists board please. =)

What's the html coding to pull a pic off the net for my sig?

*doesn't know if this has been suggested* but can we set up a board for 'spam' to a) test siggie sizes, and also b) allow people to find other people to make siggies? because i'd like to offer my services as a siggie designer and i don't know where to post on here... ^^"

Arie... maybe you should join the Artist's Org http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=522&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

 

Also Ata has put a sig auction on Fiddlesticks. Maybe send her a PM and you could design one for her to auction of?!

and as for that last question

 

use the code .

 

 

 

^_^ Thanks Jas, i'll head over there.

:oops: I see that one I made for another member is a tad too big. I'll fix it and resend her the new link. It Victoria's. Sorry Kath, purely innocent.

 

:(

Hi all,

 

I'm new and won't be posting until I finish KOD. I always get disappointed when there is a spoiler. I just wanted to be sure my avatar is not to big.

It is only about three times too big, Mistress al'Debaw

 

If you right click on your Avatar, under properties, you will find the dimensions... the maximum allowed is 80x80.

 

If you have trouble changing the size, ask for help on the Illuminators Org board.

 

Whilst you are finishing reading the series you could always have a look at some of the other boards here. There is very little in the way of spoilers on Fiddlesticks, the Debates and Discussion board and most of the Org boards.

:lol: Yes, it was way...to big. :oops: Thanks.
