Currently options for BB Code, pictures, and links are enabled for signatures. As long as these capabilities are not abused they will remain available.
How to Make A Signature:
To change your signature, click on "Settings" at in the upper right corner of the page. On that page on the left, the in the third box down, under "My Settings" click on "Edit Signature". This will take you to a page where you can edit your signature with a rich text editor.
Pictures can either be uploaded to your signature two ways. The first is to upload a "signature picture" (from url or from your computer) then, click "Insert Signature Picture".
The other way is to upload your image to a photo host- such as photobucket, minus (great for large file size gifs), Tumblr, ect. Use the "Insert Image" button (a icon of a picture of a tree) to insert the photo. Make sure that the url is a direct link (not the display page for the photo). To do this, once the image is uploaded to the host, right click the photo and click "Copy Image Location". If you do not have this option, please check this page on how to do it on your specific browser.
Be sure to click "Save Signature" when you're done! To have your new signature show up when you post: when you reply, click "Go Advanced", then scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options:" and check the "Show Signature" box. It should automatically be checked from then on every time you post or reply. If you have issues with this, please PM me.
Tapatalk Signatures:
To edit your signature or signature settings on Tapatalk: bring up the Tapatalk app, tap the Profile icon at the bottom (on the far right), then the settings icon in the top right (a cog icon), then "Signature".
If your signature is turned on, you can edit your signature in the box below- that will be the signature that will show every time you post from the Tapatalk app.
If your signature is turned off on Tapatalk, but your signature is auto enabled on the forum (from the website) to show every time you post, every time you post from Tapatalk it will post your regular forum signature.
Signature restrictions:
1) No pictures larger than 175 pixles in width or 550 pixles in length. This includes animations/gifs.*
2) Only one image may be used per signature.
3) If multiple lines of text are uses be sure to keep it to 6 lines or under.
4) Please use reasonable text size in your signature. If you are using a limited number of text lines a larger font can be used.
Please keep in mind that if you do not follow these rules your signature text and/or image will be removed.
(These restrictions are subject to change as admins see fit.)
*Note: There is a free online image editor available at the following address: http://www.online-image-editor.com/ There you can upload from your computer or from a picture URL. Once in the editor you can do all of the following: Resize, crop, add text, flip/rotate, add borders, vignette, round corners, add animation.
If you do not have the software to resize a photo, or don't know how, please use a online resizer such as this one.
Easy way to check image size: right click on the image that you're using in your signature (or want to use, if it's posted elsewhere on the net), right click on the image and click "View Image Info" (or some such depending on your operating system).
You can also do this by saving the image to your computer, right clicking on the image file on your computer and selecting "Get Info" if you're on a Mac or if you're on a PC right click and select "properties". It will list the information, including the dimensions in pixels.
If the image is larger than 500 pixels long and/or larger than 175 pixels in height, then the image is too large and needs to be resized if you want to use it.
Disable Signatures on the Forum:
If you don't wish to see signatures while viewing the forum for whatever reason (ex: the gifs are an epileptic issue) go to Settings (upper right hand corner) > Click "General Settings" (under "My Settings" on the left hand side) > scroll down to "Thread Display Options" > Uncheck the box next to "Show Signatures".
If you have any issues with finding the size of an image, resizing it, or any other issues with your signature, please PM me!
