Hmm... Try sending a PM to somebody who makes sigs. In that PM include things you would like to see in it, and how it should look etc... Give that person time, and they'll either do it, or say they don't have enough time. :)

Well... Either Aqua or Pradelost - they seem to be the two guys making cool sigs right now. Aqua made the ones I use. :)

On the topic of sigs....

Well, I don't want to piss anyone off, but I kinda hate them. Nothing to say about a witty text signature, and I can very well understand people who are skilled in gfx and want to show so with their sig-picture.

But why does everyone think he needs a sig and even asks around to have one made up? To me, it is hard to understand, and what bothers me about it is that it takes up valuable real estate on the screen. I browse at 1024x768 (notebook) and have to scroll more by that.

Why don't we just change the board to accept avatars, they would go into the space under the name which most of the time is vacant anyways and anyone could have their little gfx if they want.

Ahh, never mind me. Just wanted to get this off. Prolly just me in a bad mood, some lock project is giving me unexpected troubles.

The best thing is to talk about it... and I guess I'm curious to know what you are trying to do. Come on, spill the beans! :P

I finished a couple of cut-away locks today that have been getting me annoyed. :)

I felt the same way, hated the download times when i was dialup as well but then Aqua made me my sig and i liked it so much i used it and have done ever since,

Activars would be good but i think they are normally hosted on the site where as sigs are links to off site hosters, activars would take a lot of room up on paid hosting i think on a site like this,

There are rules on the size your sig can be and i think pretty much everyone stretches that but it shouldnt be too much of an issue,

Now posting large pictures that mean you have to scroll an extra 4 iches is a wind up,

Laser track lock stuff. Can't really say a lot about it, just the revision done to VW/Audi/etc. locks around 2002 is stabbing my back and killing all the great tool ideas I was developing. As long as I don't get new ideas this will bug me because it is on top my head all the time and I am reminded of the failure continously. At least my pre-2002 concept works.

You have to put tags around the location.

And btw, *most* sites only allow off-site avatars. Generally, the forums that host avatars on their own site, only allow you to select from their pre-defined avatars.

Oh, in my limited experiance of activars you upload your own pic but ive only done it on 2 other sites so it could very well not be the norm then,

Right click on the sig aqua made and select save picture,

Go to your photobucket account and upload the picture,

Copy the img link and post that in your profile,
