I've been working on a new signature, and I've nearly finished. The only problem I have is finding a decent site that I can upload and link it so it shows as my signature. Unfortunately, I'm completely at a loss here. Anyone know any good sites that'll let me get my .swf up as a signature easily

I use Photobucket for all my picture uploads, but sadly:

The file "Acreedsigfinal.swf" is a SWF: SWF file uploading is no longer available on free accounts. SWF files can be uploaded to PRO accounts only.

this is a little off-topic but, whats so special about these swf files?

I just tried it and it worked

Ive never heard of an SWF file...

It's a flash file; most flash animations are in that format.

SWFs are Flash video files. I need to use an SWF because there's a moving animation in the signature that I want to keep.

Smells, do you have a Pro account on Photobucket?

Ayen just publish as animated .gif

i think you cant put swf files as a signature because there is no BB code tags for them, if you use the IMG ones, it wont work.

But thats just me.

I would but the animation I'm trying to keep intact refuses to play since it's in a movie clip. If I take it out of the movie clip, I have to move 485 frames into the same exact position...

Damn, I figured It'd end up that way, Fret.

Holy Moley!

Well looks like you will have to sit through it and do that. I made mine in 35 frames by print screening and cropping the pic then masking it. It took a really long time, but i think turned out nice

Publish settings- Gif
Playback: Animated

Nice new signature pic Ayen.

Posted by: Ayen Nov 19 2007, 11:08 PM

Thanks, it would've had a full-on assassination but a new enemy prevented me. That new enemy's name is SWF.

Please no animations. It's annoying, slows down browsing and steals focus from the text you try to to display.

Thanks mattacuk!

And willie, I'll keep that in mind, I didn't realize it was that big of a problem. Sorry
