Our rule updates for 2017 updated our signature rules, and we now only allow a maximum of 250 pixels high, when previously we had allowed 250 pixels + 1 line of standard text. Your current signature is ~270 pixels high - it was fine with the previous guidelines, but not with the current ones, hence why it has been removed.

Considering the image is 268px tall and the signature limit is 250px, technically no.

Is this okay?

Yeah, it's a bit under 200px, excluding padding.

Can anyone help me with uploading a signature gif? my little brain can't work it out ;-; also, does one line of text = 1px? I'm trying to keep my images around 230-245px high so I can add a line of text or two underneath, have i got that right?

You need to upload it to an external website such as Imgur. A line of text is certainly more than 1px... perhaps 12? I really have little idea, but the height range you stated sounds about right.

Okay, is that the size if the text size is 1? I always have the text underneath my signature image as size 1. Like this.


Edit: I got it working!!!! Thank you very much! I just had to use the original gif link x.x But idk if its too big now lmao

Where I am at the moment, image hosts are blocked, so I can't check your signature, but the font sizes are just numbers as far as I'm aware. If you're too worried, have a look at your image's height and get out a magnifying glass, counting the pixels of text underneath it, then add them up.

When I try to use the direct link in the IMG thing, I get "invalid file"

Can you show us what you're trying? This is what it should look like, just presumably with a different URL.

Also, I recommend unchecking "Retrieve remote file and reference locally", if the option is there. It will only work for some images, it compresses them and charges you Bells.

Is mine fine?

omg. It seems too small and i forgot to center lol

 

[Trasey]

nvm

 

[MayorOfSackville]

Sorry if it's hard to see. I'm placing the direct link in the IMG boxes and I get this.

When sharing images in posts, do not have "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" checked for the reasons I explained earlier.

If your link looks like http://i.imgur.com/qM6KaEy.gif, all should be well. If it is http://imgur.com/qM6KaEy, then no, that won't work. I can't make out anything much in your screenshots.

 

[MayorOfSackville]

I will try that, thank you!

Fixed! Is my sig to big now?

The image is 246px tall and the signature height limit is 250px. With the line of text, your signature is 271px tall.

Also, Jeremy, just add max-height: 250px; to the CSS for the signaturecontainer class already. It would end this trouble for good.
