Need help re-sizing my signature to meet the new WCN specs..

[BigBlue75]

I am usually pretty good about this kind of thing, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do it and keep the spinning basketball and the flashing sign animation.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here ya go.

TRex, my software says I exported this at 100 pixels but when I read the properties on this site, it says it's 101 pixels. Do I have to do this one all over again?

I would say that's it ok but I don't know how stickler we are going to be on this to be perfectly honest. If I'm you, I would probably do it again. And maybe make it transparent as well. Plus, his helmet has to be resized as well.

I did make it transparent. The white background is actually part of the picture. I would need the original file to eliminate it through the transparency optionor I could spend some time andcut it out. I do agree that a sig or avatar looks better without the background.

If I resize his helmet and he uses it, won't that addition exceed the pixel limit for a sig? Or is it cool to have two images for a sig?

now, as long as it says 100 pixel in height and the width doesn't exceed 400 total. So, right now one is 100 and the other one is 160 in width for 260.

So it's ok to have more than one sig as long as they are in spec. Is that correct?

[TRexSmarts]

if you have two graphics side by side then they must be 200x100 for both of them giving the specs of 400x100. Now if you have two graphics that are on top of each other then they be 400x50 for both of them for the specs of 400x100. Understand?

Got it. That means if BB75 still wants to use his helmet, then I will need to decrease the size of the wildcat in half yet again. Which basically, will render it useless. Unless he puts it beside of it. There's still room for that. My next question is, by putting them side by side within "Account Preferences",can that be done in the HTML code some way ordo theyhave to beintegrated within a single graphic?

Forgive me in my ignorance...:P

In HTML coding, you just put the two img tags side by side with no HTML code for inserting a 'break' ( <br> ).

ex.
image url here 2nd image url here


I am assuming that his images were either big enough that the browser pushes his 2nd image to the 2nd line (below first image) or he used the code to force it underneath.

PS I opened the source HTML file on this thread and you can see he did use the </br> coding unless that is inserted there automatically by the forum software. BB75 will have to confirm how he added his images in the signature line.

The software forum automatically put in the html code. All we have to put in is the [img] and etc.

I've saved the new signature but I've not seen if it's okay to use it since it's still a bit large with 101 pixels. Is a new one coming or ???

If it'll make things easier, I don't have a problem with taking the helmet out altogether. I just stuck it in there since it was football season and it's not of monumental importance that I keep it.

I appreciate all the help. Let me know what I need to do.

[Bluesong]

Thanks Coldstream and TRex for your help. Great info.

BB75, here is the update on your sig. I did a little work on the sign. I hope you don't mind. If you prefer the original "For Sale", let me know and I will change it back.

Enjoy......

[BigBlue75]

Quite the contrary, I think it looks GREAT! I just had the "For Sale" put there because I sell real estate and I wanted a tie-in to that, but you did a super job. I'd rather have "UK" in there. :D

Thanks for your help and the input from the others.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT???

[TRexSmarts]

Matt,

I think you are going to be ok. We are talking in the mods area about making the new size 500x100. You are 450x100.
