Animus Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 do you get an error when you try? we have a size limit for sig images no i don't it says that the url isnt correct.
Animus Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 ahh maybe post the url here for us to check? ok hold on a tick...
Animus Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp250/the_timelord/MUSEic/foosbump.gif here it is... i placed the [gif] [/gif] code on the ends and placed it on my love boat, it worked there but it won't work on my sig or avatar...
Suvi Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 i think it's too big to be on your sig.. did you try ?
kev Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 yeah that's too big a filesize for a sig sorry. it's about 15 times more data than this entire page is!
Animus Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 yeah that's too big a filesize for a sig sorry. it's about 15 times more data than this entire page is! WOW!!! okok thanks kev!!!! ill try to find one thats smaller!
Animus Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 (i bet this one is big...) so wat about these... i mean how did u tell that it was too big from photobucket? see they post fine on threads.... even that other one which was too big...
Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 so wat about these... i mean how did u tell that it was too big from photobucket? see they post fine on threads.... even that other one which was too big... Once a gif's loaded all you do is get the properties of the gif by right-clicking and going to properties (no idea how you do it on a mac), it tells you the file dimensions and size. The graphic equaliser and the rocket should both be okay size-wise, the other two are definitely too big. Sig images need to be smaller than 500x195px, and smaller than 256kb file size. Otherwise they'd take forever to load for some people, that first one you posted was 6mb! Imagine trying to load that on a not particularly fast connection, it slows the whole page load down. That's why the limits are in place.
resistance.revolution Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 just another random q bout pics .. Im wanting to add images that I have on my computer so people can view them, rather than just having to put them online and then put the link in .. is there a way to do this? Please and thanks =]
