For the life of me cant figure that out. Posting pics on threads are no problem.
Well, they have to be sized correctly. I usually do:Godzilla Vinyl Mania wrote:For the life of me cant figure that out. Posting pics on threads are no problem.
And you have an awesome one, by the way. One of my favorite shots in the franchise.Maritonic wrote:Well, they have to be sized correctly. I usually do:Godzilla Vinyl Mania wrote:For the life of me cant figure that out. Posting pics on threads are no problem.
That way, they're sized perfectly and you can use whatever gif you want regardless of how big it is.
Thank you, and same! Always gives me goosebumps with the music swelling and him roaring. I think I'm gonna pop it in tonight.Zarm wrote:And you have an awesome one, by the way.

Got it!!
Damn! You can just size it like that? And here I’ve been bending over backwards to find ones the right size.Maritonic wrote:Well, they have to be sized correctly. I usually do:Godzilla Vinyl Mania wrote:For the life of me cant figure that out. Posting pics on threads are no problem.

Maritonic, you are my hero. The world it... it just seems so beautiful now!
Yup, you're good.Gojirawars 03 wrote:Mine look ok to everyone else? I can't really tell if you guys can see it.
There is a limit on general image size, I do that because I know it'll work for me. I don't remember what the exact size restriction is.Terasawa wrote:Is there an absolute guideline on size? 400x200 is fine for standard widescreen films but Academy or Scope images would be stretched or squeezed with those dimensions.

So let's use GmkGoji's avatar as an example. That GIF is 600x338 pixels, which is too big for a signature. I don't know what the signature size guidelines are but I think the maximum allowed height is 200 px. Until a mod or admin clarifies, I'd stick to that. The easiest thing to do would be to reduce it by half to maintain the original dimensions (which would be 300x169), but if you want to make your image as big as possible, plug the appropriate numbers into this formula:ZombiezillaFans wrote:Yeah I know me tooGmkGoji wrote:For the life of me, I cannot figure out how on earth I can put a gif in my signature.

W*200/H = x, where W and H are the GIF's original width and height, respectively, and x is the height of the reduced image (which you're trying to figure out). In this case,
600*200/338 = x
120,000/338 = x
355 = x (Always round up or down, appropriately, because I don't think you can do fractions of pixels.)
Please take the time to do this, or upload your gif with the correct dimensions in the first place, because no one wants to look at distorted images. (:
