Sig Rules Clarification

[jasminaGo]

You don't need HTML code, but the 'IMG code'. It should look kinda like this, without the spaces

Just copy your code directly into the sig box.

When you upload a pic to an image hosting site it should give some coding for forum posting after that pic has been uploaded to the site. For example my Image shack account, me the HTML coding, forum coding, IM coding, and just the hyperlink by itself.

EDIT:jas beat me too it

My thanks to you both!
(I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had to delete the Sigpic tags in the box...)

this ok?

According to my computer your sig is 700 by 200 pixels and contains 32 KB. Which if I recall the sig rules correctly it is within the sig limits

thanks

can i say i only know the sig rules vaguely? i know a sig cant stretch the page or be over 50KB. the rest i take on common sense. IE the content of the sig

[TameFarrar]

the entire content of the signature also can't exceed 200X700 pixels. That means all pictures, banners, text and anything else used as part of your signature must fit in that area

I've always wanted clarification on spoiler tags in sigs because I opened one and the entire signature fitted into an area of about 20000x700 pixels.

My eyesight is okay, thank you very much!

[TameFarrar]

LOL...we tend to go easier on what is under tags BUT they need to remember the 50KB rule applies regardless if it under a spoiler tag or not

[Missster.Freeman]

Heh. Seems a bit of a cheeky way to get around the sig rules, but that's a fair enough ruling.

Thanks!

I noticed the other day that when you go to edit your sig, it says it can't be bigger than 180x700. Is that the image, or the whole space? And if it's the image, does that mean we have to resize, even if it doesn't make the whole space too big?

And on that subject, is mine within guidelines? I don't think I've changed it since the last time I asked (and a mod then said it was fine) but IIRC that was before I noticed the 180x700 thing on the edit sig page. Also, I just checked, and I'm pretty sure some of mine are actually like 200x600 or 200x620. All of them are smaller than 200x700 though, and the only other thing in my space is the spoiler...

The whole thing. The exceception is if you put some stuff in spoiler tags. Your sig pic above the spoiler tahs meets the pixel rule but its way over the KB rule. I read it as 277 KB when 50 KB is the max

EDIT: Ignore what I said. Its different when a person has sigs that are on a image rotating site. Take all you sig pics if you have then saved on you hard drive. Use a photo edit progarm and check the properties. This should tell you the KB space

I'll ignore what you said, lol. Actually, it's not the KB size that I'm worried about. When I make them, I make sure they're under 50KB. So KB is fine on all of them. It's the 180x700 vs 200x700 that confuses me. And actually, it's not just me. We were discussing it a few days/weeks ago on the S/J Ship Family Art thread, and IIRC we never came to a concrete conclusion.

Wouldn't Xx735 also fit without stretching?
