I shrunk mine down so they didn't interfere with reading the threads and such, they did look better a bit larger, but oh well.

They way they are now, you have 2 that are 60 pixels high stacked on top of each other with a small space inbetween. If you could post the banners on the same line, like Bayani's buttons, then you could enlarge the height to maybe 100 pixels and have it stretch about 600 pixels across. That would take up less vertical screen real estate and give you a better quality image.

Mine's just simple and to the point, with my two mains on it.

Mine ( i made, Basic but suits me)

Dark_Respite · 08-03-2009 07:24 AM

Question:

Does mine appear to anyone else as anything other than a graphic of a masked woman and Positron against a cityscape with the legend "THE COURSE OF SUPERHERO ROMANCE: True love never did run smooth"? Someone says my banner looks like an ad to another site, but no one else seems to have the problem.

Please don't yank my chain on this one - I'm trying to work with support to see if this is a possible security issue.

Can you block specific posters images? I could only find the option to block all signatures under options.

Firefox has an add-on called Ad-Block Plus, which is what I'm using.

As long as its available, might as well advertise. It may look a little familiar to dA sorts :7

Edit - Had a better idea

Still working on my buttons...

Bayani, how did you get 3 to load if we're only given 5 lines total in the signature box?

I inserted the images first, with spaces between them. Then I highlighted each image one by one, then clicked the insert link button, then directed the image to link to the websites I wanted. The images I have are pretty small, I think the dimensions are 100x35 or something like that. They're all located on the same line.

When you goto the edit signature section it says "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 600 by 120 pixels or 146.5 KB" Now I know the upload signature image part isn't working and we're using the img tag to put in images so it doesn't actually restrict the signature images, but I think assuming those are what the signature limits are would be a safe bet.

Also those transparent PNG images are nice, but they don't look transparent to anyone using Internet Explorer 6 or earlier, which is a lot more people than you'd think. To those people there is this ugly off-white background on the PNG image. They will see transparent gifs but gifs can't do blurs and blends with the layer below the transparent image.

No it doesn't look like an ad. That person is probably playing a joke on you or is infected with spyware. In either case it's their fault and they should feel bad about it.

I'll show off mine even though it wasn't my own creation. Cyphre makes these for SCORPIO members.

Though I have to bug him for the PSD so I can change it some so its not quite so tall. The rest he's done are on our site, Signature Banners.

With AdBlock Plus you can choose to block just that image, all images in the same directory, or coming from that website.

Of course, some people have sigs that need to be killed with fire...

I.. I suppose you could be talking about someone else's sig banner, but if you mean mine, thank you! This totally made my day!

LadyJudgement · 08-03-2009 03:32 PM

Jessimae, I love yours too...

Going to have to get someone to make me one...I simply don't have the know how or the patience to learn.

SO it seems you can make the Banner Image ANY size... and just click the link button in order to paste in the URL it can go too...

How do you do the center image command?
