Where did my sig go????
If you haven't been on the forum for a bit and your sig is missing, this may be why. In early August we changed the forum settings to disallow all sigs hotlinked from other sites. (A hotlink is when you use the [IMG ] [/IMG ] around a web address leading back to an image.
If your sig was hosted at sites such as photobucket, imageshack, signavatar, your sig is likely no longer visible.
You can get your sig back. The attached tutorial tells you how to go into your controls and upload an image to be a sig. The restrictions and limits are simple – and much what we've had all along.
A size limit of 700 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall.
*Insert : IMAGE format ideally to be Max 700x 180 to minimize compression and ease pressure or refusal by the GW Uploader*
A file size of no more than 100K.
A PNG, GIF or JPG file.
Sigs should be PG rated and in good taste. They should also not spoil upcoming shows or movies (In other words, if you live in the UK and get to see Doctor Who days/weeks before the rest of the world, please don't spoil some plot point for the rest of us and this applies to every country out there.)
If you're having any issues, please contact the mods or check out the 'Members Helping Members' thread. There's no shortage of help available.
