I tried looking on some of the help topics, but couldn't find an answer. Can you have a MAL signature and a character claim banner in your sig? I'm pretty sure that's a no, but I thought I'd ask.

How do you mean? Yes it's possible. Just make sure you use the second type of signature (I use it for instance) and adjust the number of shown entries in your options so the sig height does not exceed 140 pixels.

It's possible to combine the sig, your banner and a custom image, too - that's like playing with lego if you get me.

I'm not good with this kind of stuff so I'm not sure what you mean. By second type do you mean the sig that just has the small list? How would I combine a banner,sig, and a claim/custom image (or is the claim a banner?). Thanks for your help.

Yes, the second type is the smaller list. If you want to combine your sig and your claim banner, first (using photoshop or paintshop) you need to take an image you want to use for your sig, then place you banner image over it.
Example: .
But as you can see, it doesn't look to good like this. Another way is to place your claim banner in a spoiler and have it under your sig. I've seen some people to that.

Does it not count for the 140px limitation? For example mine, I have my signature to already have the limit of 140px height. If I put below my spoiler tag with my claims, will it be already passing the limits?

Well i guess you have to make it a bit shorter maybe...? Or just leave your claim banners on your profile.

If you're going to use the dynamic Anime/Manga updates image provided by MyAnimeList.net, the max width is 600 pixels, max height is 140 pixels. You're free to choose something smaller.

That's the little list you see in most signatures. Note that other images are built around that list in order to create a complete signature (personal preference). You'll find it when you click the Edit link next to My Profile in the panel on the top left of this page.

If you're talking about a regular signature (something that's not using the updates list), the max width is also 600 pixels, but the max height is only 110 pixels.

You have to cut this picture into 3 parts. Then post the first image first, then the MAL sig second, and finally the third image. Let's start from there.

You need to start cutting from the beginning again. Something went wrong, if you look closely at the edges of every single image of that signature, you'll see that the diagonal black lines don't line up correctly.

Please don't doublepost. The type of signature you're using is too big, you need to switch to the second type. Click the Edit link next to My Profile in the panel on the left, then click on the My Signature tab and choose it from the dropdown menu. You can adjust the colors for text/border/background/etc there as well as upload a background image for it.

You can increase the amount of listed entries so your MAL Sig will increase in height. You will probably have to adjust the height of the other pictures after that so the heights match.

The black part is the bit of width the image you uploaded as background is missing. You need to stretch the image a bit or choose a background image that is at least 260 pixels wide.

It looks like this image:



is not high enough.


Basically the sig as you have it right now, is missing this part:



So you either have to add another small image of this part, or reduce the heigh of the pics left and right from it.


Also, I'm merging this topic with the signature help topic. Please use the forum search next time.

nope, it's messed up. The top image appears before the middle and list image and then it's followed by the bottom image to the right.

if you can't see it, it looks like this on the screen:

[top image] [left image 1][list image] [bottom image]

when it's really supposed to appear like this:
[top image]
[left image][list image]
[bottom image]

can someone help with this?

It cannot look like this because the width of the forum wouldn't allow it. So unless you have no [space] between your top image and your left image, it's not possible.

Looks fine to me:

That's what I came up with when I decided to test this out. I'm no Photoshop master but the Slice tool, which I always wondered how to use, has helped out just fine and I think I know where I can go from here. The one above is by no means final so please don't admonish me on the thing being too large for a forum sig =p

I like the new sigs more but I miss seeing the dates instead of the time and day of the week. It really sucks needing multiple images uploaded for it to work too. I have three different images for this one (not including MAL's image) and it wouldn't look too good if every image didn't load properly or the server was down.

Reminder to self (it's easier to check my posts than search a topic):
- 260x113 is the space taken up with five listings

Not bad, but you'll have to reduce the height of your sig a bit. 140 pixels is the max height.
