Sorry about this,but could there be a problem here at Subsim,or could it be linked somehow to my Photobucket account?.Odd really,about an hour ago the image was fine,now its like... massive!

I just noticed down at the bottom of the screen in the sig section,that sig images are not allowed? if so,why not?

Are the moderators able to remove our permissions to upload an image? Shame really,I just fancied a change and it was small enough,for some flippin reason it suddenly grew to an enormous size

If permissions have been disabled,is there any way I can activate them again?

Thanks.

No one has changed your sig permissions, afaik.

Hi Neal,

I saw at the bottom of my sig edit page that sig permissions were set to 'no' (odd).
Don't worry,it was not political and was an acceptable size,it was merely a harmless image of king Neptune guiding a ship through a storm,or about to sink it even

I may need to find another image,I suspect there is a problem with this one,for the life of me I can't imagine what.

Thanks for the reply

Neal,

Here is what is happening.I upload my image to Photobucket,shrink it down to 175 x 175 (any smaller and I can hardly see it),save the file,copy the 'direct link' ,copy the link into my sig edit screen and immediately the image resizes itself to a size that practically fills the entire screen.This has never happened before and am not sure what is going on here.

Sorry to be a pain.

Cheers.

You almost had me *phew*

After recieving a warning about my sig image,which I didnt want as I was trying to shrink it but seemed to be having problems I need to know if my new image is smaller and more acceptable?

Hope that infraction comes off my profile,this was unintentional.

Thanks
