MDD Supporters (Avatar & Sig sizes)

[Shaun]

FYI.

We've relaxed the restrictions on avatar and sig sizes for MDD Supporters.

Changes for supporters are as follows...

<--- Avatar size increased to 150x150 pixels from 80x80 pixels. Signature sizes incresed from 500x60 pixels to 500x120 pixels. The allowable lines of text remain the same. In addition, MDD Supporters Private Message (PM) storage has been increased from 100 to 200

And finally, if you're not already a supporter, why on earth not? :) Full details can be found HERE (http://www.forum.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5104). Thanks, see you in the supporters section. :)

Has my signature just died or has it become illegal now? (That's a hell of an avatar Shaun !! lol)

Signatures can no longer be linked to from off site sources anymore. It'll only take you a minute to re-add it; Just save the image from 'imageshack' onto your PC, and upload it onto the forum in your User CP options. :approve:


(That's a hell of an avatar Shaun !! lol)

Same one I've been using for years...only bigger. :d The 'web guru' made it for me a while back.

Can I ask why? :)

[Shaun]

Can I ask why? :)

By doing so, the maximum allowable image sizes are handled by the forum software, meaning one less thing for us to moderate.

[Marc J]

Oooh, that's some size for an avatar :D

[Penfold42]

They are in your face......:D .....but they look really....:cool:

[Mark Wild]

I need practice LOL !

[Shaun]

Come on Dave, whilst we appreciate you have become a supporter, you really must make more of an effort with your posts.

What does the above mean? :confused:

[Rowleys]

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

What picture? Avatar, signature or picture in a post?

[Rowleys]

"You may not upload animated images."

but i'm a supporter so should it not let me

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

You need to answer the question if you want help.

[rob1963]

Maybe it's just me, but what is it about Shauns larger avatar?

Since the new rule came in yesterday, a number of people have uploaded larger avatars...so why is Shauns the only one that's doing my head in?

:confused:

[Shaun]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but this post is especially for you, Rob.

OMG...I'm off for a lie down.

See you all later when I feel better.

Loving your one. :d

[Corabar Entertainment]

Oooh Shaun! :sick: Avatar and signature... too much! (especially because they're running at different speeds)

EDIT: They seem to have synchronised now.

[Mark Wild]

Made me chuckle :lol:

Nah a few more I reckon :shrug:

It's better when they're un-syncronised. :D

I'm not being horrible - it's a great idea etc.

But Shaun's is making me feel ill.

It's verging on annoying! Do you really need two Shaun? :)

*Tip of the day*
I forgot to add. Members can disable viewing of avatars and signatures from within their User CP options [ Thread Display Options ]. :beer1:

Almost makes you look professional...:p

[soundtracker]

Do you realise how much time and effort was spent setting that kit up on the side of a hill!:p

[Shaun]

Ok, I've had my fun. Spining signature and avatar removed. It can be a bit distracting.

Rowley, your ones are just a tad overbearing (and naff) in my opinion. Sorry. :d

[soundtracker]

Got to say Peter - like your photo and banner....very nice. :cool:

Credit to Shaun our graphics expert for the banner!:)

[Mark Wild]

Doesn't that sig link to a site?

[Shaun]

Doesn't that sig link to a site?

You can make your signature link to a site (i.e. when you click on it it directs to your website). What you can't do is have a banner uploaded to somewhere other than the forum and use the image tags [IMG] to link to the image offsite.

Clear as mud? :d

Sorry if I didn't make that clearer earlier.

[soundtracker]

Doesn't that sig link to a site?

Yes it does, why?

[Shaun]

Yes it does, why?

I may have caused confusion with the comment below.

It should have said signature images...

[Mark Wild]

I think I'l just stay confused, sometimes it's easier lol

Maybe this will help:

You can't host your signature banner elsewhere, you now need to upload it to the forum.

Your signature banner can link to your site.

Better? :D

Ah so the fact I was using Image Shack to host it was the problem?

[Shaun]

Thank you, Ang. :D

[Penfold42]

I'm off for a lay down after reading all that.......it's like Nigel and Badger all rolled into one.....

[Charlie Brown]

Okay, blonde moment here.

My banner has gone that Shaun kindly designed for me - How do I get it back?

I don't want it to spin, move, do anything - just a banner :)

[Corabar Entertainment]

You can't host your signature banner elsewhere, you now need to upload it to the forum.

Signatures can no longer be linked to from off site sources anymore....... upload it onto the forum in your User CP options. :approve::D

[Charlie Brown]

Yeah thank you :approve:,

I have just done it - the banner is ridiculously big though.

[Shaun]

I have just done it - the banner is ridiculously big though.

:confused: If you don't like the larger size, just upload the smaller original sized one I made for you. It's not compulsary to use a larger banner..lol.

[Charlie Brown]

Ohhhh...

Hahah, I'm not very banner/avatar/signature literate.

I'm not 100% how to resize.

Sure I will work it out. :)

[Shaun]

Right Click and save to your desktop.

Then upload the image via your User CP.

[Corabar Entertainment]

Also, if you put the URL coding around the image coding, you can have the banner linking to your site, rather than having the URL separately underneath (meaning that you would only have 1 line of text, and therefore comply with forum rules :D )

[rob1963]

I'm confused as to why some peoples banners have mucked up but mine is still ok.

Have you read this thread?

Presumably, yours is already uploaded to the forum, rather than hosted elsewhere and linked to in your signature!

[rob1963]

Have you read this thread?


Yes.

But not being very tecnhical I haven't understood it.

Has the PM folder increased up to 200 as well, or has it always been like that, or have I had too many :beer1: :beer1: :beer1: :D

Yes, I have read that you have to not be in the 'Sin Bin' to become a supporter, and also read that the maximum amount of time that you are supposed to spend in there is 6 months. I have been in there for nearly 6 months.

Whilst your in the rules, you may like to note this one.

...and also read that the maximum amount of time that you are supposed to spend in there is 6 months. Not sure where you read that Max, but I'm afraid that we have absolute discretion, and, judging on the number of members who have mentioned to us that you shouldn't be allowed to post at all on this forum, you should really count yourself lucky.

Now, please don't take this thread off topic again. Thank you. :mad:
