Solved My Signature wont appear!

[maccaquacker]

I have recently added a GIF userbar sig to my profile and it isnt appearing on posts, it previews in user CP but does not animate through the frames... any ideas?

I've just checked, and you have no signature stored.

 

[maccaquacker]

Well it appears in my user CP all the time as a preview

 

[Dwarf]

Can you post a snip showing this?

I've just checked again, and there definitely isn't a signature stored on your profile. Are you sure that you're not talking about another forum that you are a member of?

 

[maccaquacker]

well, now it seems to have appeared on my posts but is not animated, as in the preview, it seems as if only the first frame is uploaded

Did you use the Userbars?

If so make sure you Download the .GIF Fully and Upload the Signature to the Forum#

Also you need to add the .GIF to your Signature


Many Thanks,
Josh

Yup, i have done all that, and the gif works on my pc

Have you tried Deleting the .GIF Image and Re Uploading the Animated Image?

 

[maccaquacker]

yep, i have tried absolutely everything

Just a few questions that might help us out:

How did you encode the gif image?
Did you use an online converter?
Or did you download it directly from a userbars site that was already packaged as a gif?
What are the dimensions of the image?

Can you attach your signature picture as a normal attachment in your next post?

Edit. I've just had a quick look, and it seems as though you have only got a single frame. Your sig is only 2716 bytes compared to tom982's 35804 and shadowjk's 78706.

Because you can have Up to 5 Images on the User bar this and I have 5 Images

This Information shows that you have Less than 5 It depends on the Image

i downloaded the userbars from a website as JPEG's and PNG's
and then used beneton movie gif to animate it.
The dimensions are 350x19

 

[Shadowjk]

There is your Problem you can Animate the Pictures using the Website

Just Click Select to the Bars you Want and then when you Have the 5 you want Select the Animate Tab up the Top and then Download the .GIF File and then Upload your File and set it as your Signature Like mine

Hope This Helps,
Josh

 

[maccaquacker]

so i cant use that gif maker in order to get it to work

 

[Shadowjk]

You could but try the Method I showed you Because that is What worked for me

 

[maccaquacker]

ok then thanks, its just im really bad at choosing which ones i want so that why i was using that to get more images but oh well, i guess i'll have to narrow it down somehow

 

[Shadowjk]

True but you can Search for the Userbar that you would like at the Top of the Page

 

[maccaquacker]

Working now, thanks for your help guys,
