Sig Link

[Ollie_H]

I would have posted it in the signatures thread but its now closed;

Can someone help with me linking my sig to my story i cant get it to work?

 

[Highlander999]

Sure. This is how my sig looks and it links to my story. Just copy and paste the relevant parts and fill in the parts which belong to you (the link to story and image url)

Load your sig pic as normal and in the your sig box you should have

{sigpic}{/sigpic}

{} replaced with []

Highlight it and press the link button (World with the chains)

Paste the url of your story into the popup window

Save and you're done.

If you use the noparse tag there's no need for curly brackets.
Observe:

Rather than starting another thread i will post my querry here.

Q) Is there a limit on amount of text I can add to my signature as im already using 300x100 size sign??

You cannot add any text if you are using a 300x100 image. If you were to shrink the image, you can use any space you do make for text, so with a 300x85 image you can put 300 pixels wide worth of text at the normal size. Text may not exceed the 300 pixel horizontal limit that applies for the image unless there is no image used, in which case only the vertical (100 pixel) limit applies.

For a practical example of text under an image, see Burma's Finest's sig. There are more details on this in a stickied thread in the Signatures, Avatars and Artworks forum.

But I have seen many sign with quotes remarks. They exceed everything.

Well two quotes is within the limits, three or more isn't. I've recently sent warnings to members over them. Just because other people are exceeding them doesn't give anyone an excuse.

Ok I will revert to my 300x90 signs for texts when required.

Yes.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Have you given him a warning?

 

[Highlander999]

Have you given him a warning?

Well I did tell him:

Be careful or you'll get a sig ban

and this was all he said Such a blatant dis-regard for the rules

I'll risk it. Andrew's not on the staff anymore
