Signature Rating & Help Thread

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

Oh, I was excepting there was a thread with siggy things, but there is none. So I thought we would enjoy posting our OWN siggies, banners, logolikes and others and we can help each other if you have problems with that. ;] This thread would be great to be sticked. ;]

Herer are my newest sigs:







A lot of old siggies in my old deviantart:
Wolfwood02's deviantART Gallery
(I don't log into that old DA anymore, here is my new DA: d3afn3ss1337.deviantart.com)

Those signature images look nice... but too big.

I prefer that images in signatures are 100 pixels high or less.

It gets annoying when someone goes flashing a huge picture in your face when they're in the forums to read what other people say, not to have some huge picture waved in their faces.

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

Too big? Your opinion. And,

...our OWN siggies, banners, logolikes and others...

Maybe I didn't explain enough details, this thread that we post any siggies/logolike for this forum, websites and others. Or am I not allowed to post those "big-ish" siggies in the thread, not signature box? Sorry if I didn't clearly explain.

[JClarke]

The is a rule of the siggy size in AD, they are pretty BIG to us.

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

I know they're not allowed in the signature BOX, but what is AD? AND I have read the rule. I mean we post siggies, not put sigs in our box. Like pictures we enjoy posting...

[JClarke]

AD = Alldeaf. (short for it) and yeah, can show off, but it is a bit too big if someone wants one of them to use in our threads, though

I know what you meant. I was just expressing my opinion. I've seen some blogs where people post a HUGE collection of signatures, then complain that no one wants to use them. The reason why no one uses them is cuz they're too big.

I'm a simple guy. As you can see from my signature, the image changes randomly every time the page loads. Can you figure out how many there are?

[Mrs Bucket]

You know, before I used to have vision, I would love to change my signatures as often as I changed my underwear!

I know Vampy would recall how I would try to bend the rules to have animated signatures.

Signatures are great but they can be eyesores. I try to make mine really small. Festive signatures I do for the holidays and that's about it.

vampy and i recently had a conversation about my signature. he made some great recommendations, so i changed it. i've found that i like having a signature which lists an informative website and a quote instead of a large picture that takes up far too much room. besides, graphic signatures don't do any good for deafblind people who can't see them.

[VamPyroX]

That's right. The general definition of "signature" is something small and simple... about you.

It can be a quote, the due date of your baby, a small image of something you like, or whatever you want.

That doesn't mean you should put an autobiography in your signature. It also means that the image shouldn't be super-sized because it's a public forum... not your personal blog. Making the signatures too big pretty much defeats the purpose of a signature.

If it's too big, members have to scroll down more to read the threads and it makes the webpage less read-worthy.

If a person absolutely has to have more than one link, they can be shortened.

For instance, I want to have 5 links in my signature. Here's what the annoying signature would look like...

Google
Digg - All News, Videos, & Images
Deaf Chat | People Deaf Culture - AllDeaf.com
Funny Videos, Funny Pictures, Flash Games, Jokes
MySpace

That's 5 lines of links. I could make it look better by doing this...

vampy,

question for you.

i have one website about bipolar that i'd like to add to my signature. how do i format that url so it appears the same way you described? i used TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a Tiny URL to shorten one website, but i'd really like to add another if possible.

thanks.

It's quite easy.

For instance, I want to convert...

http://www.google.com

to

Google

The code looks like this...

PHP Code:

[url=http://www.google.com]LINK[/url] 


LINK is replaced with whatever I want.

I could make my link to Google say "VamPyroX Rocks!"

PHP Code:

[url=http://www.google.com]VamPyroX Rocks![/url] 


Here's the result... (move your cursor over the link, you'll see it still takes you to Google)

VamPyroX Rocks!

thanks, vampy.

if you look at my signature, you'll notice that i made the change.

thanks again.

Thread closed... I guess. We are talking about other point, not my point. ._.

[authentic]

Not seconded.

Thread remains open.

Your signature looks nice. Did you make any animated signatures? If so, I want to see it. I can show you mine.
I used to be signature designer, but reason why I say I used to be, because more hearing people want to put music in the signature, boy, that takes a lot of memory space in my computer, forget it. Right now I make my own signatures for several forums I'm in. Nice work, keep going!

Just a note to let you know this - If you want your thread to be closed; You would need to request one of the Moderators to close the thread for you.

So, with that, Do you still want your thread to be closed?

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

Mhmm. Oh, well. Keep this thread open. But can you guys show me your siggies? ;] I'd like to see.

Yes, but I didn't created my OWN, I edited some gifs from 4chan.org and other random websites. Here is:
(They are my friends from Final Fantasy XI. I pwn'd them. ;p)
And other two animation siggies that I just chopped, not created:
http://fc71.deviantart.com/fs33/f/20...AFN3SS1337.gif
http://fc25.deviantart.com/fs34/f/20...AFN3SS1337.gif
PS: I've been thinking about creating my own first animation sig of 'caramell dansen' on FFXI. I'll create that soon.

[authentic]

Looks nice.

Those signatures I made:

SOTW:






Animated:




I have many in greatestjournal, but they're dead. I have to login to use calendar to find my old posts.

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

You should join deviantART: where ART meets application!. They never die. Trust me. ;]
Oh, btw that "vendetta" sig is very nice astract.

Those animations look nice, but too big... 4 MB and 3 MB.

A good signature should be simple and small... not over-sized.

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

Yes, it's too big and many MB, but like I said I'm not putting it in my signature BOX. They are for other forums and etc.

[☆D3AFN3SS1337☆]

Just created my ULTIMATE sig everrrr!
