I had a signature which was my pregnancy ticker. Then the site hosting it went down for a few days so I ended up deleting it. The site is now back up but I can't remember which code I have to put in my signature. When I put the bbcode it tells me that it is too big and when I put the html it just comes up with an img link and when I put the ezcode it comes up with a link but not one i can click on.

I don't know if any of that makes any sense at all.

It sounds like the image is too big.

There's always been limit on how big your graphics can be, including sig and av combined, but until recently we hadn't noticed that that could be got round by using the html img tag. It sounds like you were one of those people. (Not in an "I'm going to sneak round this way, but a 'It didn't tell me it was a problem' way :)). Html <img> tags have now been disabled, so if you want to use your ticker then you'll need to shrink it. Someone more graphicy than I might be able to help.

The change starts now.

If in doubt, don't

oh ok. even if i was trying to sneak around a rule there would have been no chance at all as I have not got a clue how such things work as is evident from my previous post! When such things are concerned it would definitely be an "it didn't tell me there was a problem so I was blissfully ignorant!"

Thanks for clearing it up though

Don't worry, I wasn't implying you were sneaking around anything. :) I always use html code because I can't be bothered to learn another markup system, so if I had an image in my sig then I'd probably have gone over the limit without realising as well.

I'm just a bit dopey today and not finding the right way to say things. :oops:
