The signature defaults to showing three games. This will put a serious cramp in your style, as you can only publicly show that you are playing two games. I don't know about you, but I usually have more than two games going on in my life.
It will display more than two "now playing" games at a time, but only
after you've initially sneaked your sig code in there. Racketboy seems to reject the signature images only at the precise moment you submit them, not after.
The solution is to reduce your "now playing" list to two or fewer games temporarily, to enter the code into your signature, submit it successfully, and then adjust your Backloggery accordingly afterwards. Your forum graphic should grow to the default three games without a problem.
That might have been what you were saying Zing, but I thought I'd spell it out a little more just in case.
If you use:
http://backloggery.com/sigs/sig.php?user=username instead of the one that is generated on the site it works with 3 in now playing.

As pointed out, you only need to ensure you have two "now playing" when you submit the signature to the forum. After that, you can add more.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification! My signature is still working using the original image url, so I didn't want to experiment too much.

I don't have to have anything listed as "Now Playing" for mine to show up, but it did take me a LOT of screwing around to get it to work.

I meant no more than two "now playing", otherwise the forum believes the size is too large. Luckily, it only detects this upon first setting it.
Although, I can see this being exploited. Upload an image somewhere. Add image to signature. Upload a huge 4000x3000 image with the same name to the same url.

Obviously that's where the mods step in.

It's sort of like a friends list. There should be a small link on the top rightish area of someone's page that says "Add to Multitap"

It used to be easier. You used to be able to just enter in the username into a text box. Now you have to go to their profile and add them from there.

I was relatively young when I got bit by the retro bug. Just turned 16 when I bought a cib dreamcast. It blew me away. I worked a job a a sketchy local grocery store(the only one on in town.) All the money from it went to put weed in my pipe,morphine in my veins, and marlboro's in my pockets. What was left over from the costly ventures was spent on retro gaming. Hell I bought a Neon Geo AES a few months after my dreamcast. 200$ a game? No problem. I miss being a teenager. Surviving off of ramen noodles and eating taco bell at night doesn't cut it. College is no fun.
