Given that there have been some questions about images in signatures lately, I
think it may be useful to clearly state the rule on signatures. As was indicated
almost three weeks ago (on this
thread,
Quote by shinsengumiTo clarify,
signature images must use the sigimg tag, and the maximum size for all signature
images is 486x60 pixels. This is non-negotiable, and as such all members with
signatures that violate these guidelines are to make sure that their signatures
do meet these standards as soon as possible.
Q: Are image tags allowed in signatures?
A: No. The only image allowed in a signature is the one image denoted by the
sigimg tag.
Q: How large can a signature image be?
A: Signature images can be a maximum of 486 pixels in width and 60 pixels in
height.
Q: How long can a signature be?
A: Four lines.
Q: Can I advertise a gallery item (e.g. my latest submission) in my
signature?
A: Yes, as long as it does not violate any other guideline regarding signatures
and signature images.
Signatures are supposed to be short
notes appended to your posts to help personalize your message, which is why the
60 pixel signature image height and four line signature length restrictions were
put into place. As members have noted themselves in a number of threads, large
signature images and long signatures are often both distracting and
obnoxious.
Please note that if you have a signature that does not meet the above guidelines
(or if it violates the community guidelines in any other way), you will either
be asked to remove it or will have it manually removed.
I hope that clarifies the rules regarding signatures and signature images.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Finally, this issue has been addressed. I feel that issues that are conveyed
between the moderators in the moderator forum should be immediately brought to
light if they impact all members of the community, thus reducing the blatant
questioning that occurs by PM or guestbook.

doesnt show up. Is " [sigimg] " not the right
command.
Try clearing your internet cache then re-upload the sig. You can also try
hitting F5 to refresh the page. If that doesn't work try cutting the text you
have in your sig space re-upload your sig and then paste the text back to where
you want it. Otherwise just wait it will show up eventually. If you upload a sig
you won't see immediate changes you have to wait atleast a day before it shows
there is nothing to do with your signature, you are not getting credits I dunno
for what reason, but if you read the first post, you will know that no longer
are signatures using the [img] tags for larger ones than those of specified
guideline sizes are allowed.
Hence, it will get deleted, if it violates the reasons given in the first post.
Please read.
actually there is a funny thing with the sig img tag, u can only make signatures
of 486x60 in size, otherwise it will say it is too long or big or small
depending. Perhaps that is why your's would not show or upload depending on the
nature of it.
as for credits, there was a news thread explaining if you make posts in the
forums or anywhere else beside the chat lounge with lesser than 50
letters/characters long you get deducted credits instead. So make a longer post
or something as to which more than 50 letters long
Try to make another following the standard sizes 486x60 sized, and then save as
a gif, then upload it.
Rememeber to enter [sigimg] to your signature image box
Should work.
Ah thanks for the information! i
was getting confused when i was seeing some sigs have paragraphs and one even
had song lyrics on it, and was like is that even legal here? Now
i know and i feel happier because of it.
My signature is 486 pixels in width and 60 pixels in height, and I used the
[sigimg] tag! Can you confirm it is ok?
I will be banned if I get the signature to violate the rules.....:(

Alright, I am using that now, so I am sure it is not a problem...
I really wished it was larger though, but rules are rules.

Neither signature text or signature image works.
So I use another way:
-+- Will you follow me into fire? Will you follow me into darkness? Will you follow me into death? -+-
'[sigimg]'
[sigimg]
nitram, your signature works. What you need to do is to turn on full signatures in your Minitokyo Options.
thanks a lot for the hint shinsengumi.
About time, I was growing tired of 20 line sigs.
yes i ahve seen some poepel with damn massive 20 lines of sigs
I got my signature deleted twice....i don't understand why! Can someone help me? Please!
I don't know why!
I don't get any more credits....can it be because of the signature?
