Signature length

[Cassius335 offline]

Any chance the letter limit for sigs could be boosted (say, 500-600 instead of the current 465)?

[Overcaffeinated Sloth offline]

Well, you could make an image (Within reasonable size, mabey animated, I could make one) With text in it, that way it looks nice and if given a short name, doesn't take up much space.

[MY85 offline]

It's not impossible to do that, I think. But leave this to the LF Founder if she has time to dedicate time to your petition.

*blink* AB, what the heck are you going on about? My sig kinda doesn't have room for another image (the Pokemon suck up lots of letter-space), despite being small images, because their full code has to be used (Doll-Clique rules))

Rodri, Petition is WAY too strong a word. Just asking.

I believe there is a field in the PHPBB Administration panel where you can set that. It's up to Star Way.

Okay, here's what you do. Hilight the picture, save it. Open paint, Open the saved picture, move it around, do the same thing with more make ir a reasonable size, save it, get a photobucket accout, and there you go. give it a simple name, like sig1. What do ya know? Buncha space.

And Animated gifs are easy, but you'd need to either buy photoshop (Yuk!) Download gimp (It's better, but for free!) or ask someone with animated image programs (AKA me) To make one for you. Voila.

Not altering the Lyokoligists banner (which'd just be wrong) and the Pokemon have to be unaltered to stick with clique rules.

Or just merge the three in one picture with Photoshop or Gimp.

Not allowed (They would consider it stealing, in fact).

ETA: Grabbed the pertinent bit off the site. Kinda wish I'd read these earlier...

Pokeball Rules
1. Do not remove any links back to this site from the Pokeballs and Pokemon image codes provided.
2. Do not edit any of the Pokeballs and Pokemon images or remove any credit from them.

[Reploid CB]

What about moving them entirely? Or finding somewhere else (say, a given LJ entry if you have LJ) to put your Pokémon?

Ugh, sorry, but unless you have a really awesome reason why we should do this, it's a no- gigantic siggies are annoying enough as it is, and frankly I don't see the need for 50-150 more character spaces anyway.

[Cassius335 offline]

Fair enough. Thought it was worth a try.

[codeTONY offline]

I agree with Erynn here, I've had to cut out a lot just to save room, though.

Try using this code instead of your current signature. It saves a bunch of room, and still give full credit to the creator.

Just make it all one line.

Interesting. Not sure that counts as "leaving it unmodified", but...

EDIT: Ok, done. Thanks.

Snipurl is a url that automatically redirects you to the original link.

This:

Equals this:


Try it out.

[codeTONY offline]

Sorry double post, but you cannot snipurl images. That's why I didn't.

[Cassius335 offline]

So I noticed. Pity, because the image urls are 75 to 81 characters by themselves. Quite a lot for such tiny little things...

No kidding, that's why you should reupload them.

At least reupload the "Lyokologists" one, that can be shortened. I did it for you, but you don't have to use it.

Not exactly working. Thanks for the attempt, though.

Wow, I can't believe I missed that... now fixed.

[Cassius335 offline]

Alright, done. Thanks again.

[codeTONY offline]

No problem. Believe it or not, but my sig is near it's limit.

[Cassius335 offline]

*blinks* It is? It's taking up less space than mine!

[codeTONY offline]

The small text and links are what does it.

My sig:
