Avatars and other tacky graphics.

[isadora]

So I figured out how to upload but I can't seem to figure out how to make them show up on the board itself. Will work on it.

[isadora]

Test.


What I learned: Gifs? Not so much for the avatar! And my signature is not showing up. Hmm.

[ophy]

Testing new avi and sig!

So that means yes on gifs in the sig, no on gifs in the avi.

I think this one is going to give me seizures, though, and not the fun kind.

[isadora]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[isadora]

I think I need to up the size limit on the avatars. Maybe?

[isadora]

Well. That didn't work.

[emmaleigh]

Testing avatar.

ETA: Test successful! Exploring the old board like it's new!

[ophy]

Testing new avi . . .

so . . . how come em can use gifs in her avi, and not so much with the gifs in mine?

[isadora]

Probaby a size issue. The server automatically strips out the animation if the gif is too big.

[ophy]

I think I have a problem!

Only been a member at photobucket for a few days, and I already have almost 400 images and gifs. Addiction, y/n?

[isadora]

Y.

And now Issie is locked out from posting.

forum life is a hard life, yo. Working on it. I probably fucked up and toggled something and destroyed her account.

ETA: It must have been me! She was somehow set to unregistered. D'oh. Keep me out of the admin panel, y'all.

I'm back! It wasn't you, it was me 'cause I'm a dumbass! I was playing with adding an avatar and signatures last night and realized I'd been using a super old email addy that I haven't even checked in like 4 years. So I changed it to my regular one and it fucked everything up.

[isadora]

OH!!! Ok, it said "awaiting email confirmation" in your user status! Glad it was you and not me. Hee!

I need to finish an epic paper that's due today but all I want to do is find big ass graphics to put in my sig from Tumblr.

[IssieCol]

Testing sig stuff...

... sob! No gifs for Issie?

[isadora]

What are you using for your files? If you host them externally that seems to work better. I had zero luck with my locally hosted images. There must be some server settings that strip things down? Not sure, honestly.

I went the photobucket route like ophy.

So the code for my sig looks like:
[image tag]photobucket url[/image tag] x 3.

In fact, photobucket offers quick copying of img tagged images.
