    Is it possible to add your own photoshop* signature?

    I thought: "oh well, just 4 hours to do something else instead of playing lotro the whole day", when I saw the 'server maintenance' message... I started making my own signature in photoshop to kill some time.

    But when i try to edit my signature here it seems I can't add my own signature.
    am I doing something wrong? Or am I not able to add my own signature?

    Unhappy

    I tried a few codes but my signature only shows the Code, example:

    [IMG]***http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y500/durovenia/Untitled_zps1f22cd17.png[/IMG]

    without the *** ofcoure.

    Some times signatures can be problematic. If you have ever been on a forum with no sig-regs you've seen what I mean.

    The signature system is hard coded to only accept images stored on the designed Turbine servers. You want a custom image in your signature. It has created outside of the forum signature mechanism. Every time you create a post, you have to append your private signature to the end of the post as regular text.

    Doing so I imagine might draw the wrath of the Moderation team. They keep trimming the size of what we're allowed to do in the signature space. I doubt they'd like us using images in every post where users can't toggle them off for bandwith/load time purposes like we can for signatures.

    There are people who do it this way. Have you seen the Henny Penny signature with the level 1 chicken?

    It is not very common that I know of. If it becomes more common. Starts degrading forum performance. I suspect you are right. The moderators will start tapping people with their batons. Stop it.

    I can't bob and weave my way out of that one. I'd never noticed that it wasn't in the signature space before because it had the right dimensions, and didn't impede my personal performance.

    I'd also thought it might be some kind of promotional signature that we couldnt readily acquire anymore. Chicken play has never been my strong suit.

    I think at one time we were able to put our own images in the signature space. If they were reasonable the team didn't seem to show concern (judging by the length of time and number of posts I've seen the customized signatures in.) The change suggests its something they want to phase out.

    Do you think it will be a problem if would add my own signature at the end of my post every time, like henny penny?

    I don't know about anyone else, and I don't know how much flack I'll get for saying this, but I have signatures turned off - they disrupt the flow of conversation. I also have put people on ignore who put their signatures in their posts, getting around the 'turned off signatures' thing.

    Now, you don't know me from Adam, so you may not care that I might ignore you. That's cool. I'm just stating what one forum-goer might do if you did that

    As a regular forum member, I do not make the rules. Have nothing to do with enforcement. I do not have a opinion. You want an answer. Send a private message to one of moderators like Sapience. The moderators are the folks that determine what is allowed and not allowed.

    Or you could take your chances. Create an use a private signature like the Henny Penny signature.

    It really annoys me sometimes to see people with up to 5-6 lines or more in their signatures (plus the generic Turbine character banner) and I can only just barely get 2 lines. :/

    I recreated my own signature so that it shows the correct craft skills and whatnot and really wish I could use it instead of these outdated ones.

    And when we see those posts we removed the spam image and inform the poster that the signature space is for signatures. Pasting in an image each time is considered spam.

    It would be seen as spam and addressed accordingly.

    The signature space is the only place a sig of any kind is permitted. We only permit the use of our signatures (mainly because too many people choose to use inappropriate images). This also allows other posters to choose to disable signatures and reduce their bandwidth needs when viewing the forums.

    Will the broken parts of the signatures [data feed] ever be fixed [see: crafting being broken for over a year]?

    Ditto Nakiami. I would really like to see my signature at least be up to date with the crafting stuff.

    I do care! That is why I asked in the first place.

    Oke, so no self made signature for me then =)

    I only wanted a self made signature becouse I can't stand it that I cant put my own character's face in the allowed signatures.

    There are a couple of posters I've seen that copy and paste a signature into the post body after every post.

    So as long as you're not pasting in an offensive image link, that's an option.....

    No. It isn't. It's spam, and it violates the wishes of the Community Team.

    So here's a suggestion. How about fixing your provided signatures since those are the only ones you allow? Tier 8 crafting is out now and sigs are still stuck back at tier 6. Restricting to something that has been broken for a year isn't the way you should be going.

    You also could allow personal signatures (within established guidelines). The option exists to allow other posters to choose to disable the entire signature block, not just the graphics.

    QFT, seriously since RoI the level and crafting tiers have both had caps raised but only the increased level is displaying (true again with RoR). If we are limited to these as out .sig image then they should accurately reflect our character.
