New Signature Policies
 

We've tried to be lenient when it comes to signatures, mainly by allowing you to host images on 3rd party websites and use the img tag here to hotlink them. Unfortunately, some of them have been getting out of hand and we've had to change this policy since its impossible for the staff to request that EVERYONE with a large sig change it.

You'll still be able to use the img tag, but you'll have size limits and will be limited to the number of images you can have, as specified below...

The new rules for now are...
- 150 height x 500 width
- 500 characters max
- 5 lines
- limited BBCode
- 2 images (3 for VIPs)

If your signature is larger than 475px, it will appear in a box with scrollbars. If you want to get rid of this, you will need to edit your signature to be a smaller size, and you will have to use the rules above.

Thanks. I'm just glad that it is more uniform. But how come my image isn't showing up?

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Because you're probably using an image tag.

You should be able to download the image, then when you edit your sig there will be an "Upload Image" box where you can upload it to the server and it'll insert it into your sig.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

it says it in there ^^

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I just want to say that all of you who were complaining about sigs are retarded! Way to ruin it for everyone. Does it really matter to you if so and so's sig was too big. Ridiculous!!!!!!!

I tried to add my baseline bar back and it's says it's too big. It's just a bar??!?!?!? Am I doing something wrong?

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I'm changing the file size limit, it was only limited it to 10k lol. Give me a minute and try again.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

You cannot upload more than one image. It assigns the tag SIGPIC and will only allow you to use the last one uploaded. It also wraps long lines (like ones that make the image link to a site) and counts them as multiple lines. My sig was very compact. I had 4 images, but they were all 350x19. I am OK with removing one, but someone should check out why it's now only letting us get one and not the three in the rules.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Got it back! Thanks Mindfrost!

Re: New Signature Policies
 

its not retarded when only a select few with a certain sig in their sig gets a pm from a mod and theres waayy bigger sigs all across the board

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Hmm, I'll have to check that. I guess for now we're limited to 1 image until I figure that out.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Alright, you can go back to using img tags, but I found a hack that will still limit its size.

VIPs can use 3 and regular users can have 2.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I'll have to make mine shorter when I get home from vacation. thanks for the heads up

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Thanks for taking care of us again Frosty! Can I let someone borrow one of my images since I don't have any in my signature? LOL

Re: New Signature Policies
 

OMG w/the back and forth.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Sorry bout that since I didn't know it limited it to 1 upload I had to find a different way to do it.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I'm just messin'. Your guys and your site rock! Thanks for doin' what you do!

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Thanks for the change... I think some of these sigs take up so much room... That there's barely enough space on the page for 3 or 4 comments sometimes. lol.
I think it's fair.
Doesn't affect me though.
p.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Thanks Frosty. I got my 3 images now. The only thing still annoying, though, is this:
This occurs with my signature exactly how it is now, but instead of the user bar images in the middle, I have a blank line in the middle and the user bars go on bottom, for a total of 4 lines.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Wideawake and I totally agree with the changes. We didn't mind but it was getting out of hand. :) Thanks a lot!

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Good changes, IMO.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I can't add any images to my sig. Says it is turned off.... Work yesterday.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Host them somewhere else and use the img tag (or image button) to insert them.

Since I found the hack I'm using I turned off the upload option.

Also delete the sigpic tags.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Thanks Frosty!

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Thank you Frosty. Very good move.

*cough*kiss ****cough*
lol jk carla :D

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I still have my sig so I'm happy. :D Though bigger avatars would be nice. Another vB forum I used to visit had the profile information on the left side and the posts on the right. That allowed for bigger avatars (yeah I know I get big now for being a VIP). But it's a thought and might make the forums a little nicer visually IDK.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

No offense Mr.Obvious, but I come to the forums to read the threads and find out cool and helpful info.... not to look at huge avatars and gawdy sigs.

But, that just me.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Not overly huge, just reasonably big. I agree too much real estate is pointless but a balance can be met. I don't think 80 pixels is enough or whatever it was before and now it is getting bigger and so that's nice. I haven't checked TBH so it may be adequate now.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

ive noticed one that were over 3/4 of a page long. ti bad we cant just untax the server and not have them anyways.

Re: New Signature Policies
 

Where was it?

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I remember seeing a huge one too but can't begin to remember where......maybe it's been caught by now ;)

Re: New Signature Policies
 

yeah, ive seen plenty of big ones

Re: New Signature Policies
 

I have been trying to edit my signature for the past couple days and it keep getting "PPCGeeks Database Error". Wanted to know if this is a known issue or if I am doing something wrong? Thanks!

Re: New Signature Policies
 

It's you....

Haha, I am j/k...I don't get that error, what are you trying to change it to? I don't know the technical stuff or I could actually help, but in reality all I can do is ask a couple questions and pretend I know what I am talking about....Does it hurt when I push here?

Re: New Signature Policies
 

just tryin to add a link from my winter olympics apps. it let me erase a couple links I had but won't load anymore. tried on 2 different pc's with both IE and FF
