Q. What's wrong with my signature?
A. HTML style tags, those that use the <> characters, can no longer be used on the DISboards. Elements in your signature that used them need to be changed to use vB code.

Q. But I spent ages getting my signature to look just the way I wanted it! Why are you changing this now?
A. In a word, security. HTML code in posts and signatures opens lots of security risks, and we want to be sure that we provide a safe computing experience and keep the boards running as smoothly as possible. We know that changing your signatures is an inconvenience, but the risks of continuing to support HTML code are far greater.

Q. What are HTML style tags used for?
A. In signatures on the DISboards, < IMG > tags were used to control the size of images, various font tags were used to add color or size or motion to text, and other HTML and javascript tags were used in countdowns.

Q. Where do I find information about what vB codes I can use?
A. Here's a link to an explanation of available vB codes and their syntax: http://www.disboards.com/misc.php?do=bbcode


Q. So what do I do to fix my signature?

To display a photo or image:
First, you'll need to make sure your photo is the actual size (dimensions, in pixels) you want to display before you link to it. Then use the

codes before and after the URL to your photo.

The total maximum FILE SIZE for all the images in your signature is 35K (about 35,000 bytes.) The maximum IMAGE SIZE (the area in pixels that all of your images have to fit into) is 420 pixels wide by 400 pixels high.

For your own photos, you'll need to edit them on your own computer to meet the file size and image size rules, then upload them to a sharing site (http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/index.php is our PhotoPost site, or you can use another web or photo server.)

You can find more help for editing images and adding them to your posts here: Clipart and Photo Primer.

To recreate a countdown:
The countdown generator we used before won't work now. There are several sites that will allow you to create countdowns and then link them in your signature here. Some that other users are using already are www.tickerfactory.com , www.lilypie.com , www.tickercentral.com , www.daisypath.com .

IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not support or recommend any of these sites, but are providing the information to get to them as a convenience to our users. It is still your responsibility to be sure that anything you link in your signature meets the DIS signature guidelines. Many of these countdowns are a little wider than the existing signature guidelines allow, so we will be increasing the allowed width of signature graphics to 420 pixels to accommodate them.

You may have 2 countdowns in your signature.

To fix your text:
The valid vB text codes are - bold, - italic, - underline, [color], [size], [font], . See http://www.disboards.com/misc.php?do=bbcode for examples of how to use these codes.

vB codes do not allow for moving text.

Izzibob the Bus Cap'n here! We have room for a couple more. I'll send Lisa a PM with the details! Got a few slackers ($$$$) who I need to send friendly reminders. See, kmiles, you weren't even close to last!!!

Lisa, did you find the post that gives our group the discounted HoJo rate? If not, it is www.hojoanaheim.com/mouseinfo/ You can make reservations there and cancel your other ones if you didn't get this savings.

The check is in the mail.... Seriously, it is.

I wrote this one myself....inspired while driving to work and almost hitting a rafter of turkeys....

Why did the turkeys cross the road?

I just realized I never gave you the answer to this.....I'm sure nobody really cares though It's not all that funny. Here it is anyway

Why did the turkeys cross the road?

Because they wanted to play chicken with the oncoming cars.

I am not thrilled with the countdowns, it has put me in a nasty mood. So rather than be mean to all of you, I am going to get a shower and do some errands before DH returns from NY.

Have fun!

I know. It's not as nice. We can't do the hour dance anymore.

Countdown done. Guess it's time to do real work now...

If someone has issues with the worm just come out and say it!

 

[jhemond]

I like worms!

Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. I think I'll eat a worm...

 

[Lisa F]

I think he did

Sorry, just wanted to try out my counter.

Oh and izzinmac, yes, I did get a discounted rate at the HoJo. Thank you!

 

[Grumbo]

I think we mentioned how we were questioning your choice of a worm with a finger massaging it earlier kmiles. To each their own

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[izzinmac]

Heck, kmiles. They all look like worms to me. I was tempted to try one of the ovulation/fertility counters, but was afraid Mary might get pregnant again!

 

[piglet33]

OK, here are my new counters. Not sure which I like better, but oh well.
