Signature Problems!?

[Mermaid Saphira]

My signature isn't showing up! Help? :(

[Spindrift]

Looks like the site you're hosting your image from is down.

[Mermaid Saphira]

ooo alright thanx :)

[Mermaid Narina]

I hope you don't mind, I used my Admin abilities to go into your profile and take a look at your coding. It turns out you linked the PAGE your photobucket image was on, but not the actual direct link. Where it says "Direct Link" that is the link you need to use. I went ahead and snagged it and replaced it, and it seems to be working now.

your awesome!

[Mer_Adella]

I currently have a video of me swimming that I would love to use in my signiture. I was told that I have to have it in .GIF form...is this true?

[AniaR]

yup, I think it's possible to upload a video right into your sig lol ^.^ so upload it to a gif making site, and then make sure the size is correct

[Ashe]

Soooo... I'm needing a touch of help too with gifs and all that. Believe me, i've been searching ever since i started here, but nothing makes sense haha! So, i have a short 6 second video of me swimming on my computer and want to put it in my sig. I guess i need to make it a gif first? Well, i went to Bloggif.com and made one, but it came out turned sideways! I also cant put in in my sig even though i downloaded it! :( Anyone care to help? Just looking for a gif maker site or something :)

[Winged Mermaid]

That is correct! The gif formats are the animated pictures. Actually you can make one yourself, and it's easy!

First, take the video and crop it down to the portion that you want the animation to be. The shorter the better. Don't go over 10 seconds if possible. Save that as a video clip. Then go to a online video to gif converter site. You can google "video to gif converter online free" and it will give you different sites. Such as gifninja: http://gifninja.com/ . Upload your clip, and it will make it into a gif! Save it. Some will let you resize in the process. If not there's actually a site in the signature thread (http://www.online-image-editor.com/) that will let you crop and resize gifs, as well as add text, borders, and other great stuff!

If your video is uploaded to YouTube, you can use GifSoup (http://www.gifsoup.com/) to make a portion of your video into a gif. However gifsoup has off days and can make one rage quit.

If you have a mac and are computer literate, this is a good way to make a good quality gif: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1FB3aTkzVc . There are other tutorials out there for Mac and PC (photoshop, gimp, and other methods) if you google for them.


Gifs can get big in size quickly. I found the only image site that hosts the gifs that are as big/long as I want them is ImageShack.

[Winged Mermaid]

it came out turned sideways! I also cant put in in my sig even though i downloaded it! :( Anyone care to help? Just looking for a gif maker site or something :)

The site that's in the signature restrictions site (this one: http://www.online-image-editor.com/) also will allow you to rotate gifs as well! Just upload, edit, and save!

[Mer_Adella]

OK i hate to be a bother... i went and changed my vid to a .GIF format using the links you provided WM...but after I put it into my signiture (the video showed up while editing my sig) and then i posted on a thread, all it shows is the link of where you can view the .gif...any way to correct this?

[Mer_Adella]

oops i appologize i have it now :) i accidentally inserted it as a "picture" thanks for all the help WM

[Ashe]

Thank you so much!

[Winged Mermaid]

No worries, and no problem! GIFs can be frustrating things to deal with, so I don't mind giving some help :)

[spottedcatfish]

how big can the signature be? I keep forgetting the size limit?

[Winged Mermaid]

You can find the restrictions here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?365-Signatures-and-Restrictions

test

[MerEmma]

Try this link? http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/11-07-2013/VfHuSn.gif

[Winged Mermaid]

Emma's got it right. You need the direct link (the one she posted) :)

[Firemaid]

Thanks!

[SeaGlass Siren]

ok so i'm stealing this thread. i cant upload photos onto my signature :( help?

[Winged Mermaid]

I don't think you can unless it's really small- and by small I mean in file size not pixel size. I've seen a 15 x 15 pixel image be 5 megs before.

Or if you don't want to mess with it, do what everyone else does and use an image host to host your photo. Photobucket, image shack, and Tumblr are popular. If you have a large sized (in file size) Image shack is the best as the files can be multiple gigs on that host. Just be sure to use the direct link when putting it in your signature or it won't work.

Just remember that the image has to be no larger than 175 x 500 pixels!

[Mermaid Kelda]

You need to use an image code. Get the URL of the image you want, and put [IMG] [/IMG*] around it (without the asterisk). I use imgur to upload files I want from my computer :)

[SeaGlass Siren]

I tried imgur but it rejected me ;_;

[Echidna]

I can't get the signature to show either.

I've used the direct link, the URL Emma posted, the picture itself, etc.
It shows up in the preview just fine, but in the post itself it's a blank. :confused:

Edit: nvm, it does show. was expecting to see it retroactively.

[Winged Mermaid]

No problem! It's a touch to big though (240px high instead of 175). In the signature restrictions thread (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?365)there's a site where you can crop and resize it :)

Since you didn't have a signature before, the "show signature" on your posts weren't checked, so when you posted it was without a signature- which is why it isn't showing up. But if you were to change your signature again, it would make it so all past posts that you posted with your current one would have the new signature content. Hope that makes sense :)

[Echidna]

But if you were to change your signature again, it would make it so all past posts that you posted with your current one would have the new signature content. Hope that makes sense :)

hm...I changed it several times, but it won't show up retroactively.
(not that it's such a problem)
I resized it anyways.

[Winged Mermaid]

I didn't explain myself very well :P I'm saying that all the posts you'll make from here on out will have your signature (unless you change it). Therefore, if you change your signature content it will reflect the content in those posts (but not posts you made before yesterday). Like for example, how you changed the image to the resized one and the image was changed in the post you made 2 posts up to reflect that. Hope that explains it better!

[Echidna]

yes, I understand now.
thanks for clarifying!

[Adalira]

I would like my signature of my etsy shop not to be the complete url but only the word Etsy and someone can click on that.
How do i get it to be like that in stead of the long url i have now?

[Winged Mermaid]

I would like my signature of my etsy shop not to be the complete url but only the word Etsy and someone can click on that.

You need to make it a hyperlink. Highlight the text you want to be a link (type "Etsy" or whatever you want it to be first then highlight it by dragging your cursor over the text) then click the link button. It looks like a globe with a chain link symbol below it. Then paste or type the url into the box that comes up and click okay. Tada! Hyperlink :)

[Adalira]

OK thank you so much. I have tried it, lets see if it pops up now

[Adalira]

I could not get it to work but my hubby could :-)

[Amapele]

Do you have to be a member for so long before you can add a GIF as a signature? I went in to edit my signature, and add a GIF, and at the bottom, it says

Nope! They're just not allowed to be uploaded on the server. For images above a certian size (physically or memory wise), you have to have the image itself hosted somewhere else, then use the "Insert Image" function to insert it into the signature that way. It's not practical for our server space to host gifs, since they're a lot bigger (memory wise) than images.

A lot of people use gifs from tumblr, or host theirs on giphy.com (photo bucket is nice, but has limited bandwidth that some people run into issues with). Hope that helps!

Just remember the signature rules (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?365) when adding your images and such please :)
