New sig rules:

[nosig][/nosig]

cool, I added mine.. I'll work on a better one later :D Thanks firefly!

it will clutter the forums. i guarantee it. because i believe people will not obey to the size. plus others will use this for advertising reasons.

we will see.

i'm not a friend of images in sigs, but nakkid is right, we'll see.

[high]* Xenon sits down to write one more to fill it :) ^^[/high]

plus the security issues...

what security issues?

i love your sig xelation !

Nakkid you are such a wuss (sorry ;), don't kill me).

People wont spam in their signature, as I've mentioned there is literally no spam on these forums anyway compared to other forums! Unless you call putting your forum name in your signature advertising, but what's the harm in that? People already place their forum names with links in their text signatures. And what is this about cluttering the forums? I have seen some people text signatures with a listing of like 20 things! Its not that bad, and most of the people on these forums are webmasters and Vbulletin owners, who know the rules best because they moderate their members ;)

um, I can see what nakkid means, velocd you are already breaking the rules... your sig is over the width limit.

and it's both image as text, which also isn't allowed ;)

I am? ;)

The only text I would have to agree on to be allowed is maybe a quote, or/and just your username. I can't the see the harm of putting your forum name in either.

Xelation, do you take requests for graphics? :D

yep, but its gonna cost ya :)

I'll do it, for free. Although you will have to PM me later tonight when I have more time. I only do non-animated images, and I'll always save them in JPG unless it's larger than 20kb.

..uh, anyway, back on topic.

hmm..... ok i get the rules i read em all.

hehe is cool. that's just me.. kinda difficult guy... :)
i didnt want to offend you in any way.

about the security... hmmm i cant debate it, unless i have authorisation from firefly. all i can say is this:
is not recommented to use [img] code because it can open backdoors in your forums.

btw, i will not be surprised to see firefly putting an autoresize image hack, just to make his life easy. :)

edit: Velocd.. look at ULTIMATESSJ's sig. i was right. :)
people dont care, even if they are vB webmasters. firefly should definitelly install the hack.

may i add big dollars to? :D

I charge $25 for animations like this http://www.pcscene.com/alex.gif ( just made this today for someone for $25)

and $10 for sigs with some animation if wanted.

if this is not the place to say this then one of the mods can delete this. :)

Holy crap you charge an arm and a leg! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Your current signature animation I could do easily even in Image Ready 7. I guess you gotta make a living somehow though!
j/k, j/k ;)

you get what you pay for, and its not that easy to do animation... takes a while to do the bug sig... this is why I charge so much, just look at the quality I put into my sigs. http://www.xelation.com/sigs.html

hmm. i charge $500 for a logo like the one in top at vb.org. and for a site between 1000$ and 5000$, depending on complexity. i work for a company who delivers me the contract and they take 30% of the price.

sorry to say this Velocd, but can you show us your skills? i think xelation is good with his graphic art. and no offence, but i think is not easy what he did in the alex bug graph there.

People are always breaking the rules, that's why we have moderators.
And besides I don't see anything wrong with his signature... ;)

Anyway, how did this become a discussion about paying for signatures (wtf) and designs? Back on topic. :)

Ok ;) But just let me finish one little tid bit and then we'll get back on topic ^_^

WHA-?? ehh? ahh? $500 for that?? *dies* Looks like I need to get in the imaging business! ;)

Is there a way to set the size limits for images in signatures in the admin cp?

That would be an excellent hack, it could work someway like the width/height avatar hack does. Only problem is it would have to detect the image signature, but still its possible by just looking for the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ tags.

Does that mean you are going to do it for us then? :)

Yes but Xelation makes great sigs :D but I'm not gonna pay for one :p ill make my own...but they aren't that good :(

I have a really cool sig (http://sigpics.kurafire.com/hellsatan.jpg), but its just over the limits...

:(

Satan

resize it then ;)

Awesome! What changed your mind into using images around here, FireFly? I think it rocks. :rambo:

Nothing, actually. It should have been enabled all time, but it wasn't.

    Hey Chen. Is this Hermans Signature Limit hack? If so, my congrats goes out to him.

Ok understood

Yep, I understand the sig rules :)

Hehe and for your sigs, Xelation, the car and the mouse [2nd and 3rd ones] both look like they came out of a Flash movie [that was the first thing that came to my mind]. Could I be right?? :cheeky:

Also, did the requestors of the last 3 sigs [the bugs] ask for that? All common requests?? Just wondering :rolleyes:

I don't know if this is a "security issue", but images can drop cookies, and I don't like that.

*bump*

I just wanted to bump this thread, and remind all that we have Signature limits here.

We will be more strict in forcing users to shorten their sigs if they are over the limitations, so please look at the rules again, then look at your sig and change it if it's not ok.

Thank you all

it should be pinned

It's pinned as suggested. :)

So, thanks for notifiying us of the new Siggy Limits ;) :p

The rules have been updated.
