like this:



When you export it as a gif you would need to lower the colors in the images down. It will make it look kinda low quality but it drops its size.

i guess there can't be any default suggestions for this? it all depends on the gif size then?

Yeah here are the restrictions on signatures:

Max dimension for signature on MAL is 600x150
Max size is 300 KB.

i chose a random number and put 256 colors to 16. will that automatically make the picture smaller or there's more that's needed?

You can use a combination of changing the pictures dimentions, removing frames, dropping the colors, changing the quality, etc. If you're using photoshop try messing with these settings (File>Save for Web) and try to get the size under 300 KB

Okay, I think I'm having a BBCode problem here. I'm trying to move the liinks in my sig next to the image, but whatever I do I just get this


or this



and yeah, it looks awful. I just can't center the links vertically, they always move next to the bottom of the pic.

Help tis idiot plz. I guess it's simple but I can't do it.

EDIT: fixed the problem by myself, I've finally found the right code. Yahaa.

I did tried manually the BBcode of the image type/write (), and then between the image-BBcodes the URL of the siggy to insert... But unhappy no success until now...>_>

I'm trying to use a gif as a signature, but it keeps being removed, and I've tried out different ones.


Is there anyway to format a gif so that it can fit within the guidelines? Or am I doing something wrong?




^that is what I'm trying to do

Edit: I tried posting another one, and it is working, but if it gets taken down I'm back where I started hahaha...

It's almost 1MB and the height is over the limit. So is your current signature.
Rules said:
Images placed in forum signatures must not:
a. exceed a total area of 600px width by 150px height.
b. exceed a total file size of 300 kB.
If you don't have PS or Gimp, you can try optimizing and cropping your gifs with this site: http://ezgif.com/
Though the end result will usually make them look worse.

Just crop it. Or change the dimensions without linking them but it distorts the picture greatly.

You need to use the direct image link not the imgur page. If you right click on the image on the imgur page and view the image properties it will give you the direct link to the image. In chrome you can choose to "Copy image address" directly. Here is the code you'll need:

You can go here and choose what you would like to be displayed on your signature via the drop-down menu under "Image Type".

Can someone help me fix my signature? I've spent some time trying to get the images to fit together properly but I can't seem to root out the problem. It's also been a while since I've made a signature featuring my recent updates, so maybe I've gone rusty... :x I'd also like it to be centered. Note - It is displayed well in this particular post, but not while being previewed in my settings for testing.

ok, so i need help with this trick with a gif.

i'm fine with making them, that's not the problem. however sometimes the loop can be too "sudden" for me and i would like to change that. i see gifs that would otherwise have a "sudden" loop, but instead smooth it over by making an extra frame (or something), making it look much better.

example:


at the end of the loop, there's a sort of extra frame to smooth it over instead of the character suddenly being yanked back into the frame.

another example:


a "sudden" loop:




how do i make the gifs smoother like the first ones above?

If you use photoshop to edit your gifs you can add transition frames when you loop it. There is a small button by the delete frame button that looks like a bouncing ball. If you click that it will make a transition to loop your gif. You have to put how many frames you want the transition to be, the more frames the smoother the loop.


thanks, but just one thing, i'm using cs5. is the ball in that one as well?
