I have tried uploading an image that fits the 600x120 but to no avail. Is this just a *come on* ?

Not the best color choice if you are looking for help.

Is your sig image smaller than the size limit of 162.5KB?

You could try using [img] tags in your text sig, maybe.

Yes I noticed the color sucked once I hit enter.. especially on the villain rust background. Shall have to work on that image. I *thought* it was smaller.. but will check it.

You can use [img] tags in your signature, but it appears the image upload feature doesn't work.

Image tags work if you know the path to a hosted image, as FatherXmas suggested. I couldn't get the forum's Signature Picture section to load or upload an image.
You can change your post editor options in your Forum Control Panel under Edit Options (at the very bottom) so that you can have more advanced editing tools.

they're still a bad idea and should be disabled...

You can disable the display of yours. It's in Edit Options.

Ah thanks. I thought it was just me screwing something up.

Turn them off in the options instead of complaining.
Actually they open a significant vulnerability.

Also It occurs to me that I've no need to show you what it is.. only the mods.

Again. If you feel its a risk turn them off.

Personally I like seeing what people come up with, sure some are eye melting but some are really good and its much more interesting to look at then just plain text. But thats my 2 cents.

Personally I haven't seen anything regarding image files being a risk since like 2006 and that was only with Windows XP Sp1. But again never had a problem.

Now video files, thats a whole nother story.

Oh get off your high horse and stop assuming you know anything about my motivations.

The only image-related vulnerabilities I can think of offhand have been patched in Windows, and don't work with web-standard images (gif, png, jp(e)g)

I don't think anyone is on a high horse here Obsidian Farmer. She was simply pointing out that you are complaining needlessly. If you or anyone else do not want to see pictures in signatures, then you have the option to disable them in your options. End of problem, very simple. No need to complain about an option that other folks are very happy about when you have the option of turning it off.

Need a wee bit o' help here.

I think I am doing something wrong, and wanted to seek out help from more experienced folks....

EDIT: Nevermind - kept trying and got it to work. Very quirky, but whatever....

I did the same. That image violates the size restrictions.

My apologies for that - first time playing with this type of thing.

I redid it - hopefully it does not cause issues going forward. Question tho - if an 'image violates the size restrictions' how can it be loaded in the first place?

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 600 by 120 pixels or 146.5 KB (whichever is smaller).


For whatever reason, they have not -restricted- it to that, however your image is still too large, being 452 by 387.

Because they can only enforce the restrictions if you upload the image, and the image upload is broken or disabled.

One can only disable signatures and not merely disable images in signatures. Please tell me I am wrong and show me how I can correct that if I am mistaken. I want to see images in posts, text in signatures, and no images in signatures.

You are not incorrect. You can only disable either signatures or all images, not just images in signatures.. I went with the "disable signatures" option...

I enjoy seeing pictures in signatures. It has kicked the forums into gear. It's too bad it was added in so late in it's career. I would have enjoyed to have this much earlier.
