The_MAzTer

<div class="IPBDescription">while other people can?</div> i try to put this in my profile:

<img src='http://www.toothpick.nl/files/maz/sig/sig.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
<a href='http://irc.quakenet.org/toothpick' target='_blank'>#toothpick</a> on irc.quakenet.org
<b><a href='http://www.toothpick.nl' target='_blank'>www.toothpick.nl</a></b>


when i try to change my signature to this i get a blank page...

normal text works.. but this one not :o. It isnt to long or something

First things first, that image is <i><b>WAY</b></i> too big, the maximum dimensions are 400x75.

the filesize is big, i need to compress it ok, but i just want to test.

that its 600 is because i need the space for the server info <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> (its real time)

File size.... too big.... ACK.... Need proper compression.....

Your sig is 145k, the limit is 22k.
Your sig is 650 x 97, the limit is 400 x 75

Your sig is dynamic. Which means EVERYTIME someone views a thread with that sig they will download 145k of data just to know the status of your servers. <b>BIG NO NO.</b> 1 or 2 people may be interested, the rest of us aren't.

I suggest just making a smaller sig... and non-dynamic.

I'm not gonna tell you how insert sigs properly until you find an alternative sig.

Max dimensions: 400 x 75. Max filesize: 22kb. That's why it won't display, I'll bet.

How do oyu go about making a gif like that? Not that I'm going to use it here, I just don't know how to make it check a server or something.
