Messing with .gif signature

[Levi900RR]

I've got it set up in photobucket but I can't get to link into my signature. Any ideas?

This is what I get if I copy the direct link from photobucket.

Looks good to me...the Skier evolves into an LSV!

Yeah, the .gif is good. I just cant get it to embed into a post or make it into my signature...

[Levi900RR]

WAIT, NOW ITS WORKING!

Weird...

[Levi900RR]

Nope, I get an error when I copy the code into my sig... bummer

some .gifs tend to get rather large. Wonder if that's blocked by the IPB software to prevent pages from loading slowly and cluttering things up.

Yup, UW nailed it. There is a pixel size limitation of 750 wide by 80 tall. It's in place for a couple of reasons. If the width is too wide, it can break the page. If it's too tall, then you get a lot of scrolling that's kind of needless (especially if the person has a lot of posts in one thread). So looking that, it appears that it's too tall. Size it down to that of your original siggy, & you should be golden.

Wired... It's the same size as my old pic

When I saved it to my computer, it shows up as being 448x154, while your original shows up as 232x80.

[Levi900RR]

Dang, I'm not sure how that happened... Thanks WG

[Levi900RR]

GOT IT! Weird that the physical size of it is so different... Here is my old sig pic

[WakeGirl]

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. The only thing that I can think of is that there must have been some resizing happening between Photobucket & the board, but I have no idea of how that would happen. The board sure doesn't do it.

Looks good dude. If the page is flipping images I know you have been there.

I'm trying to decide if its too annoying... This might be one of those things that looked great on paper but once you built it doesn't really work.

Nope, looks good and doesn't bother me at all.

[LS-One]

It's cool.

[Levi900RR]

I'll keep it a while. If I causes and seziers I'll change it.

[LS-One]

It's certainly better than the avatar someone had years back of the guy beating his his head against the computer until bloody.

[Levi900RR]

Better than a bloddy head... sweet

[PeteOOXXOO]

+1 I think it looks great

It does look good but it's also distracting when reading a post.
