Backloggery Sig

Post by ExedExes »

I just registered for an account on Backloggery (cool place!)

I try to insert the code as my signature like many others do here, and it always comes back with "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image."

It only has 2 games on it so it should not violate the width/height requirements, and I've seen others with that information in their sigs, so what am I doing wrong?

You are just pasting it into the signature whole right? It should have both URL tags and IMG tags.

Can you post a link to the img that makes up your backloggery sig? I wonder if something is getting messed up in the metadata of the gif.

Hmmm... it looks like something changed with the board software. Anyone who already had a backloggery in their sig got grandfathered in, but if you try to add a new one it complains; I tried it myself by doing preview adding in your sig and using my sig and both times I got the same message. I'll ping Racket about it.

Funny you should mention that; I believe this forum received a software update last week... but thanks for your help!

JMustang had asked about it a few months ago. So it isn't just with the update the other week that it broke.

I just tried "previewing" my signature in the control panel without changing it at all, and I get the error.

I have had my sig set since day one of registering. I hope this issue gets fixed, as backloggery is a great tool and I love seeing it in signatures.

I also tried using the standard BBCode resize image tag, but it appears the version of the software running the forums doesn't support it, or it is disabled.

You can usually use [img=200x200]image[/img] to resize.
