"I don't know where the Signature appears. Assuming with, in a comment, so this is a test... Would eventually delete the comment, probably. - K, looks disgusting with the AnimeList Info beneath the picture. Let's edit some more to improve till satisfied... - Hah, now only the picture is there, embedded with the link. Sick!" (Texts sent before, compiled.)

Okay, after several tries, it's pretty satisfying to me. Shishio-senpai, you've been of so much help in this entire banner making, layout customizing, profile improving and everything, your tutorials are so insanely friendly and informative. I'll never forget these past few days, how I was helped by you, well, something that you left for us. Hopefully, you're doing well.

So after some time, ended up making it very simplistic. Pictureless, completely. I'm satisfied enough.

Updated a little. It should be easier to see how to get an updating sig with the video guide.

Do you know if it's possible to put the words over an animated gif? I tried following the tutorial video but the only image that the "my signature" will spit out is a black rectangle with no words.

I've tried all kinds of different filetypes and checking boxes and changing stuff but nothing works.

Always black rectangle :(

OK I recorded myself adding text in JASC Animation Shop for you here. You have to download the ap and install it on a PC or laptop. For other devices I guess you'd need to use EZgif (a site) or some other online editor.

Video:

Jasc download:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xr4ujhf1u22spyr/animationshop311.exe?dl=0

Basically drag your signature GIF into JASC, then drag in the text you generated somewhere. Photopea.com could be a place to generate good Photoshop quality text, or use a logo generator like Cooltext.com (probably best to start with that). You can also create a new animation under File and use the JASC text tool there, I use the tool a bit in the video too.

Then make sure the Propagate Paste option is turned on (I did it in the video) and select all frames in your sig GIF (use CTRL + A) and they should all be blue bordered. This means they are all selected- then drag or copy/paste the text on top of the GIF and it should apply the text to all frames and you can save it as is or edit it some more :D

In the video, the text was basically in a frame of its own, then it was overlayed on top of all frames of the signature GIF animation at once, through Propagate Paste mode and select all. Otherwise it only applies to one frame at a time.

wow!! thank you! So does this mean it's not possible to have the dynamically loaded MAL statistics over an animated gif in my sig?

If it's impossible, it's not problem ^^

Oh I see you want that text over a GIF, I never did that but maybe you could split the animated sig into pieces, probably four parts, take the upper left part of the sig and make it one frame, make that the dynamic signature and size the sig to the upper left pieces' dimensions, and then put that in the upper left of your sig and the other animated pieces are pieced together like I did in the About Me graphic video
