Ehh, I have a link for a gif in my sig and it doesn't show up like some peoples. I'm positive I've done it wrong since I haven't used gifs before, so does anyone know how to make it work? Thanks!

(img) (/img) tags

You needed to add the IMG tags. Fixed.

Ah, thank you for your help good sirs.

I don't get your gif at all... is it a joke of how we can't see anything?

It didn't fit properly. I don't know what is wrong with it

There's a size limit on sigs. Anything larger gets cut off. This avoids cluttering the forum up with giant signatures.

Ah, good to know. Thanks again.

I am moving the thread to Nuts & Bolts.

To expand upon that, the limit is 150 pixels high. I'm not sure if there is a limit on length, I've seen some long ones (That's what she said) and the limit is applied regardless of what's in the box, be it images, or text, or what have you - my signature is almost right at it. The image you're trying to use is 263px high, way in excess of this.

Also, you should know that on-site hosting for gifs is a little dubious. Sometimes it works OK, and sometimes the transparency (if present) shows up corrupted/pink/green etc due to some technical issue with how the gallery handles alpha channels). TLDR;If you upload your sig to Dakka, and it's got transparency, and it looks all messed up, you will need to host it elsewhere (picasaweb is free and works well for this).

Thanks, I got it to work now.

You sure about that?

Quite!

Your sig gif ain't working for me. I'm getting the brocken sheet of paper symbol.

Wasn't working fine for me, I right clicked and clicked, "View Image" now it works... I'm not a fan, but to each his own.
