Photobucket image size for sig not saving

bert8for3 · 04-14-10, 10:55 AM

I changed my sig to a "sh5" sig, but I can't get Photobucket to save it in the size I want. Has Photobucket put some sort of limitation on save capability?

Guess I'll have to switch to ImageShack.

Photobucket is good i use it all the time, but unfortunately if you want to show higher resolution pictures, imageshack is better. Photobucket has an auto size feature and cuts the quality back slightly, still its good enough really , anyways thats my 10p worth,

Actually ive reread now, go to edit and resize, uncheck keep proportions then you can change it. Mines from photobucket too, the option is there.

Might be worth resizing first with photoshop/gimp/paint etc and then uploading, that way you can avoid the loss of quality that may occur when photobucket resizes the image as they will often adjust the image for the smallest filesize.

FYI also take note of the size restrictions for subsim sigs

make sure it meets the size limits here, some older sigs have been let to slide here but any new ones may not be allowed as big as an older member might enjoy having

Yep

Resize it before uploading. Mine runs off Photobucket, works like a charm!

Mine are all photobucket as well. Yes, you can resize them.

And thanks to all for comments. I was resizing first, but it just wasn't "taking" in PB; now I think maybe the unchecking keep proportions may be the thing.

Tks again folks.
