I cannot submit a ticket as there seems to be an error.


Admin, could you please reply to this question;


I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SELECT A SIGNATURE FROM THE GALLERY. BUT IT SHOWS UP AS 'SIGNATURE TOO LONG. IF PROBLEM PERSIST CONTACT`ADMIN.'


I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT ONES, THEY ALL DISPLAY THE SAME MESSAGE?
CAN I USE ANOTHER FLASH ONE LIKE MY PREVIOUS ONE? (RUNNING HORSE?)

Signature length was decreased to stop from using EMBED tags.


The avatar you select will work. You might have to decrease the signature if it's too long.

As you can tell, I do not know the terms used for it.
Avatar=the graphic? (the pic under our user name)
Signature=the url? No, erm the sign at the bottom of a post? ???


Just making myself sound more stupid!! Dont know.


So, how do I decrease the length of the signature?
How is it that other users can use the avatars from the gallery but I cannot? The signature length is the same for any other user who is already using an avater from the gallery.


Or, maybe it can be done for me? I have a simple one stored on my sample pictures on my laptop. (not a flash one!)

I think that members who haven't changed anything in their profile since the new signaturelength thingy has been done can fit more in their signature but when they change/want to change soemthing, they wont until their signature characters are the amount set. So ur sig may be too long, the words under ur post, hence u cant change ur avatar (pic). That dont even make sense but yeah, that's it. :s

so, if I shorten my signature (the chosen hadith under my post), then perhaps I can finally choose an avatar for myself?

I have personalised an avatar which I have saved. It does not show up. ??
It says updated, but the avatar is not showing up??
Can anyone help out?
I have deleted my signature in sacrifice for my avatar. Its nice to be reminded of a hadith when a member replies. So I plan to have a shorter hadith. Oh, how I wish I could have the one bro shining light created for me.

The avatar URL you saved in profile is project3.png/ which is not a valid URL to any site or to an image. Please use a valid URL which should end with .jpg, .gif. png or .bmp

Well, at first I kept typing the whole thingy
e.g C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Project1.png


But it kept coming up as an invalid format or field. Then I tried the shorter name (dont ask why). As you can tell, I dont know jack about this stuff.
This pic is saved in my sample pictures.
Sorry to bother your busy self, but how do I go about it? Was the original method correct?

Assalamu Alaykum,


You have to upload your image to a server (image hosting websites like ImageShack, PhotoBucket etc.) wherefrom you will be provided with a URL that you use.

Did it!
Jzk for all the advice. It has taken me one step ahead.
One more thing....
I understand there is a size limit to avatars. If my simple avatar is too big, then please let me know.
Jazakumullah.
