Videos in signatures

So, Fakku. I was reading this thread while also staring at the size of someone with a vertically large signature (the latter of which was the cause of former, via being irksome to me), and I noticed that not only are large signatures not allowed, videos in signatures aren't either!
Curiously, I seemed to recall a number of you having videos in your signatures. So I thought that I'd make this thread as a blanket way of telling several people that they should look into changing their signatures.

This is not a formal moderator's request, however.

I was wondering when someone was gonna finally bring this up.

simple bbcode lesson on making a titled link to the vid. a great solution yes?

[url=url to the video]title the link[/url]

you get to link to the video without an ugly url adress in your sig, and save space. ftw.

Agreed.

I thought that rule was common knowledge...

Was I the only new guy recently who read the rules...?

I don't even have sigs showing. So I wouldn't know of this crisis that has the masses screaming

I have signatures showing because I generally try to make a nice signature image, and I'd like people to see it. Likewise, I believe that if someone has put some effort and thought into their signature, that they would like it to be seen by others as well -- which is why I don't turn off signatures, despite the loads of people who abuse it with large images and videos.

Same here. And yeah, don't like too big images that much either, whether this means size on screen or the file size. The latter is also why I've kept the animated part of my sig rather small despite people telling me to make it larger.

hmm... well... i supose ill have to say it i reaaaly dont mean to be rude but my vid [wich is a static image and a song] is about the same height as most sigs i see around here and the animation thing realy shouldn't be a problem at all unless you have a reeealy horrible connection in wich case it would be better to disable signatures

Well, it's very much against the rules, so I'd suggest that you change it.

X.X once i see all my friends doing so or a mod asking me. sowies i love this song


edit.. ooooooooo :O ops. uhmmm yea one moment

Yes, interestingly enough, I am a moderator.

*apologetic bow* hy. i noticed about a second to late. anyway im working on doing that url thing now i kinda failed the first time so i need to try this evangleion]evangelion 1.0 beautiful world

fixed.

Here you go.

yup thank you. tho i think ill put a pic in it now seems lacking.

If you want to make the image link to the video, put the [img] tags within the [url] tag.

ehhh? can you help me with that heres my current pic im useing

Here you go.

thank you very much.
