    No but your posts can reflect your inability to read and comprehend simple english.

    I'm not going to answer that question unless you can show us a serious political movement which uses a deathstar killing americans to support its aims.

    And it was within the size restriction by the way.


    It was 300x205.

    I meant my pic of the twin towers is gone and not comming back and I edited that end peice out of my post before you replied, how did you read it? I edited it at 19:54, you replied at 19:58:confused:
    Can I have a diff pic that expresses my political veiws, even if its anti american, so long as its authentic? Say an american soldier shotting a child/woman, Nalpalm being used, Hospitals being bombed, flag burning.
    I would have preferred to use the death star because I thought it was funny and it went with my avitar. Was size the only reason it was removed?

    I started replying before you edited it.

    *sigh*

    Hence my condition above. Is that really reflecting a political view? What view?

    I'd take any image on a case by case basis and any arguments that people presented against it.

    I already answered this.

    If that happens then you'll find out.

    I don't recall inviting you to complain.

    when my sig dissappeared there was a little caption telling me to go here


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    Yes, so you could find out what rules you'd broken!

    can someone tell me how to hyperlink my signature image?

    and any rules that go with that if there are any


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I think it's just like hyperlinking text and I presume it's allowed.

    [URL=http://link you want image linked to/]http: image source[/URL]
    or the other way arund

    afaik u must also put the tags in 2. so it would be  [URL=http://link you want image linked to/][IMG]http: image source[/IMG][/URL]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭angelofdeath


    ok thats great cheers mate


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭ReefBreak


    My sig was nuked yesterday. I've now resized it so that it remains within the agreed rules.
    For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size. No animated images are allowed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 101 ✭✭R33F


    I thought being a newb that I would read through and get some gud info & tips on sigs from other newbies.

    I have just read through all seven pages of threads.

    I dun want a sig now. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,783 ✭✭✭Puck


    Wise choice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    ar we allowed animated sigs below 20kb in size?
    i have one and its only 9kb, is that allowed or not anymore?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    That particular one wasn't too offensive, but the main problem with your sig was that it was higher than my house.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 3,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭The Real B-man


    Why must there be a limit on signatures if they are hosted on another site just wondering

    Because if they are visually large, the message is lost. If the file is large, it can take a lot of time for people of restricted bandwidth.


  • Registered Users Posts: 917 ✭✭✭carbonkid

    Because they can be really annoying?

    And I suspect that rather then legislate on a case by case basis and waste a lot of time on something unnecessary it's easier just to ban the damned things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 223 ✭✭Gleanndún


    thanx rabies!:D

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,458 ✭✭✭shinzon

    Shin


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    From the first page (sigrules):
    For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size. No animated images are allowed.

    It was 1) animated and 2) 87k in size. And really annoying :p
