Sigs
Hey, have guys ever considered putting glow, scroll, and up/down options in sigs? (e.g. Shinra Online)
Glow options were actually outlawed a long time ago because they slow certain computers way down. I don't know about scroll and up/down sig options, but you can probably do that with HTML code anyway. But frankly, I don't see the use in making sigs into virtual web pages. If you want tons of text for people to read, you can just put your text somewhere on the web and link to it from your sig.
OOC: Oh, yep. And for anyone wondering how I made the marvel that is my current signature:

Edited because apparently, the Ciddie image I formerly used stretched my sig beyond the space requirements. *goes away grumbling*

Well, that was a long sig
OOC: Yep. It sure was. Then again, notice how almost full my sig space is.
Anyway, I don't know exactly how scrolling text would be implemented. I think a user could implement by his/herself, but I believe that requires JavaScript, and I don't think that's allowed in signatures, so I'm not sure that it could be done. If the staff thinks that scrolling text would be allowed, they can speak up against my guess, but I'd guess that since you're not allowed to have moving text in sigs, scrolling text probably wouldn't be allowed either. That's just a guess though.

If they ever allow glow or flash sigs again well my 56K won't be very happy. And your sig aint helping Manny. Look at all those colors.I delete all temporary internet files every couple of days, so I have to reload sigs everytime I do.
You can disable sig if you want
Nah, most of the sigs are too good not to see them, even Manny's over there. I just love rabites. I can live with it.
Glowing text in sigs isn't allowed, and neither are marquees, if that's what you mean by "scroll options." I'm still not sure what "up/down options" are.Originally posted by Pacifist Boy

The option not to display sigs at all is the only thing that keeps me sane, I swear to God.
I will admit that this option can be very usefull, but you are missing a few good thing Unne
Yes, I see a lot of good things in .sigs, and if I ever find someone interesting enough, I'll follow a link in their .sig for more info...it's terribly useful...until you get (expletive deleted)s who want to have a whole freakin' animated art gallery with annoying freakin' flashing lights and the Spider-Man themesong being sung in German by Gilbert Gottfried and Fran Drescher...
*randomly murders*
*mutter*show-off*mutter*Oh, yep. And for anyone wondering how I made the marvel that is my current signature:
But really, how d'ya do the filter: blur thingy?
*wonders how much of those filters he had to tell The Man about*
The up-down thing is also a marquee, so again not allowed.
I still don't understand what people mean by "glow".
Do they mean like this (using stylesheet markup, like mine and The Man's sigs)? Because I see nothing wrong with this sort of glowtext, doesn't affect download times or CPU power to display, on it's own anyway, and the glow isn't set to be over the top
This, however, is over the top stylesheet glow effects and I wouldn't like to see this sort of text all over the place :\
The only over "glow" thing I can think about is blinking/flashing text in older browsers - I wouldn't like to see that around either.
My scroll up/down, I think he meant drop-down menu's...
I did once try to get a little javascript text window that changed itself every few seconds in my sig but a) I couldn't get the code to work (Javascript is the work of the devil!) and b) I seem to remember being told that Javascript isn't allowed in sigs here...
And here's where I'll stay / For ten years and a day
