Signature help please!
« on: May 12, 2015, 12:46:42 am »
Hi guys!

I know I haven't done a lot on here lately, but I've been busy (like, really super busy) and I haven't been able to do a lot. That busyness (sorry if I spelled that wrong; I even googled it andf I was still confused :P) will (unfortunately but fortunately, it's almost the end of the school year!) still have to continue for a while. Just bear with me guys.

BUT! That's beyond the point. This is the help forum, and I have a couple of questions. They're both related to the signature at the bottom.

First: I finally (with all of your help (THANK YOU!!)) figured out how to put the gif I wanted for my signature. Unfortunately, with the amount of space that the gif took up, I wasn't able to fit my Loki quote (NUUUUUUU :'(). So I just shortened it. My question is, is there any way to make the gif smaller? Or am I stuck with the shortened Loki quote underneath the HUGE gif of the Avengers (I'm a huge Marvel fan, can you tell?)?

Second: This goes along with the quote at the bottom. As I look around on this site on the few minutes I can get (like I said, SUPER busy), and I see people with all of these different sizes of quotes and different colors on their signatures (and sometimes even with their regular typing) and when I go to my profile, I don't know how to change that for me. I mean, nothing against the classic FeralHeart font/color, but I think my quote is a little small compared to my gif (plus, I wanna experiment with different colors). I was wondering how you guys do it.

I think that's all for now.

Thanks for all of the help you have given me!

Are you trying to make the actual image smaller or what you put in [.img] codes smaller? Just making sure.

You can change the color of your text by using this code in your message.
Code: [Select]
[color=*COLOR HERE*][/color]Fun tip: You can also put in the hex code of a color in the space where you put the name of your color.

You can change the font by using this code.
Code: [Select]
[font=*FONT HERE*][/font]I don't know any lists of available fonts that can be used on this forum. (And I sure would like to know hahaha)

You can change the size of your text by using this code.
Code: [Select]
[size=*NUMBER HERE*pt][/size]

Well, what I did to put in the gif was I inserted this as suggested:



Then, of course, I tried to put in the fantastical Loki quote.

I want to make the gif that I listed above smaller (sorry if this doesn't help, I'm still learning all of this forum stuff XD).

One quick thing about the codes for color and fonts and whatnot: wouldn't that take up space on the signature box?

Oh, and, is there a way I can just like bold it or italicize it or something?

Thanks!

Resizing a gif is rather difficult, but if you would like to shrink the actual image, you can use this.
Code: [Select]
[img width=*NUMBER HERE* height=*NUMBER HERE*]Or you can resize the image by using an online tool like this one.

If you would like to lower the character limit of what you put in [.img] codes, use tinyurl.

To italicize or bold an image. Use this.
Code: [Select]
[b][/b]
[i][/i]

For easy access, you can use the toolbar above the message box.

Text codes do take up character space in the signature box.

Thank you! Sorry bout that last reply, my computer logged me out before I could see what it had posted, so I didn't know it just posted the gif and not the wordy-linky thing. Sorry about that. :-\

I resized the gif with the website you suggested, and it works. Now I will finish my Loki quote and personalize it.

Thank you!

I found this in your signature.

Make sure when you resize it, download the new gif and re-upload it on an image uploading site like Tinypic so this problem will not happen.

Not that this helps your situation, but it's spelled "business".
