thanks buddy? can i call u now a buddy?

Shouldn't this be in the sig forum?

LoL@Drac

Those lazy bastards!

no

Not sure I understand the question..Most of us use Photoshop or maybe PaintShop Pro and translate our imaginations into graphics..


Graphics program+creativity=sig

I dunt understand that question. You would make one... on your computer in a graphics program.

                                     

You may notice that it's not necessary to actually *have* a sig.

It's perfectly acceptable to not have one, and in fact many people don't.

but how can i make it lookmore graphic?

Water, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Alcohol, Sodium, Methyl Cocyal Taurate...

Wow, typing the ingredients off the back of a Plax bottle was a lot more entertaining than what I was planning on saying.

Ok, I need sleep.

hello guys - and yannah...

i've lost something, and no matter where i look (and i've checked all yannah's threads, believe me), i can't seem to find it.

...so if anyone can find the bloody point, please tell me.

and while you're at it, if you manage to find any sense whatsoever, i would love to know about it.

now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go slam my head agaist something.

Yannah : Do you have Photo Shop or PSP or some type of graphic program? I'm not sure if you do and if not then why so many post here about so many topics yet not learning graphics. If you want to spend time here make use of it and apply that time to learning graphics. That is what the Asylum is all about.

IF you have a graphics program. Then maybe think on what you want for a sig first. If you run into some problems then ask in the photoshop area for help. People are willing to help each other just not do it for them. That's NOT how you learn.

Good luck.

reitsma, make sure you take that nifty Santa hat off before you do. You wouldn't want to get blood all over it

hmm! Chemistry! I think i will go play with Gasoline and Pine-Sol...

Yannah, Make something simple, with your name on it... only 15 pixels high... and less than 300 wide. Try to use a GIF and make it transparent.

                                     

I don't know, I have this feeling that this Yannah is laughing at the people in this forum all the time.
Just a feeling though.

No, I think she's (it is she, right?) being laughed at a lot more than she's laughing. Here she's asking a very legitimate question and only a few posts have really tried to be helpful.

Yannah, follow eyezaer's advice. Start with something very simple, and then work with it. Sigs can actually be quite difficult for beginners, because they involve a basic understanding of the .gif file format and transparency.

So put something small and simple together, and then post it in the "big sig" forum and we'll give you suggestions.

Yannah .. your a real rough one .. and ummm .. well .. ahhh nevermind .. I have a feeling you'll turn out ok .. but hey please know that you are at a graphically enchanced forum were ALL the inmates are either new or experienced in photoshop or any other graphic creation software .. so if you don't have one .. get one .. not to be rude bro but all the posts that I open of yours make you look very ummm .. what's the word .. ignorant .. ignorant to what the asylum focus is all about .. graphics and programing

so bro .. I hope you make it out ok and read on the content that is available in the FAQ and on the forums ingeneral .. I mean I want to like you but your making it really hard .. and I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way towards you

sorry guys .. I just had to say it .. this was like the 5 fifth or so post that just made ZERO sense to me .. it's like yannah isn't paying attention


.::. cEll .::. 513

Well...it took 62 posts to actually post a real question...

Hoo boy.

Well, you've already got some advice on how...

Here's some on what...most sigs are a reflection of oneself...so, anything that brings Yannah to mind...and the only thing right now that comes to mind...is Reitsma's head, with blood running down it...hehe...or maybe just a brick wall, with a blood spatter and a 'Reitsma was here' and Yannah written on it? Yeah, that's not bad...

I, for one, don't understand why this doesn't belong in the sig forum...

As for creating a sig, Yannah, just fire up the graphic program of your choice, whip something up, drop it in the Big Sigs forum, and we'll rip it to shreds for ya.

Seriously, though, when you get an idea, run with it, and then run it by us for some more ideas.

And, of course, as DL said, you don't need to have a sig...

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

reitsma: The point is here.

And as has been noted this should live over in the sigs forum and I will leave this thread behind locked so the slower witted amongst us don't get confused but once they have dragged their knuckles over to the sig forum anyone who feels really bothered by it could get it deleted

So lets take a few deep breaths and start from the basics..............

Yannah have a look at our excellent FAQ for this forum which links to all sorts of other resources (other FAQs and inmates sig pages) which should also prove helpful:

Just thought I'd point out that the reason people haven't been answering this "legitamate question" is because every time we have answered her questions she has completely ignored those answers.

So it's really hard to give a shit at this point.

That's exactly the reason why I have that feeling I mentioned before...

I don't think that I have been this confused in a long time




~Binary is best~

Is this what a sig should look like?

Wait... don't tell me that MIDI is just another reincarnation of reitsma...

*joins CPrompt in being confused*

ok, now I'm confused.

oh well. luckily I don't really care either =)

Why do I feel as if I've just been insulted?

ATTENTION ALL ASYLUMNITES!

reitsma was bunchapixels.
reitsma also was thirdperson.

HE WAS NOT, IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE MIDI.

this has been a community service announcement.

Funny stuff Midi!

So, Yannah... Care to drop by again and try to clear up some of the confusion?

Yes, we all remember the multiple personality disorder buncha had. After changing his meds and the shock therapy, he is mostly cured. Well, mostly.

nah Midi, not at all... but why on earth does you sig have Yannah And Reitsma on it???

                                     

MIDI: If being mistaken for reitsma is the worst insult you ever receive, then count yourself extremely lucky.

Still, though, what's up with the sig? I'm curious now.

That's where it came from.

allow me to explain.

if you look up ^^^ a few dozen posts, i said:

so i guess i made the sig by banging my head against the wall, or something like that... it was some sort of joke anyways.

Ah, I guess I missed that... I was looking for something that MIDI posted...

Anyway, I think it is safe to say that this thread has reached a new level of weirdness.

yes Moth! ur confusion is just in ur mind....nah...it's from the my q right?
k...so where do i start...uhm...Midi why Reitma's username and mine in one sig?
Reitsma: u live in Aussie land? I'm there too! but not syd.

Ok...to your sig. It's too big...size it down. Also, the text is hard to read...the color of the text disappears into the background...fix it. Try to use colors that go with the ones in the Asylum (you know, that tasty orange and dark brown...) or compliments of those...but try to keep it simple on your attempts...maybe the pic on the right side, with the text written small and your name...also, we normally use transparency here...that means a .GIF graphic.

Get to work!

I'm at the public lib. how can i work it out? and the Modem is locked up!

There are three steps here, and each one involves a bit of effort, self-motivation, and possibly money.

1) Get a computer that you can install your own software on.

2) Get a graphics program. There are some good free/cheap ones out there, and there are both legal and illegal ways to get a free/cheap copy of Photoshop itself. (Do NOT ever ask us about the illegal ways.)

3) Learn how to use your graphics program. This takes time and practice. Once you've got a grip on things, make a sig. Until then, I recommend using only a simple line of text, or no sig at all. No graphics is far superior to bad graphics.

Good luck.

you know one thing that never ceases to amaze me is the amount of flaming threads associated with some of the newbies, by flaming posts i mean the ones where the folder is in flames...


Thinking back over several run ins with some that have since left these walls and some that have mellowed out and become part of the furniture.

Why is it that not so long ago ifg ya clicked on a thread in flames 99% of the time it was worth reading....


forgive me if i am wrong but hasnt this and a few others served its purpose or run its course, obviously no headway is being made, why not just lock it up, or add it to a deep dark cell somewhere (marked how not to conduct yaself in the asylum...ie ignore everything anybody does to help)


someone lock this up PLEASE

ok.
