Rend...My suggestion for your sig would be a burning dog, or a scythe (thingy used to cut crops before the combine harvester)<P><P>

Awwwwwww, man! Oh well.....I guess I'll just go start another thread, and post 120 reply's to it
Rend -- it would have to be a burning dog, or a ferret. Or a ferret petting a burning dog.<P> <p>[This message has been edited by DL-44 (edited 28-05-2000).]

Doc please let us use .swf's for a sig .....interactive sig's ..it might start a trend
You could limit the file size
<P>

Squint your eyes and turn your head a bit, ahhhh seee there u go, told u it looks like wood.<P> <p>[This message has been edited by DocOzone (edited 29-05-2000).]

OK, not too bad, but now you need a bit more contrast under that type. Here's what I'll recommend. First, do a black dropshadow under it, but don't offset it, just blur it maybe 2 pixels with gaussian blur. Put a mask on it, and fade it so it dissapears to the left, we only need it under the flare. Then do a glow under the whole thing, say enlarge the selection one pixel, fill with yellow, blur by two, make a new layer over it, select the type shape, fill with pink, blur by 1. You'll get a nice fiery glow. merge those two layers, add a mask, and fade it so it dissapears to the right. You'll end up with the type clear and easy to read, a glow under it to the left, and a shadow under the flare to the right. Play with it, I think a combination of those two effects should add some impact.<P>

Yes, yes. I'll agree with all that...
All in all, a much better sig pic though.
<P>

Okay thats really not discriptive but il try (remeber im a newbie to all this) ill attempt to fallow tose instructions and post what I get <P> <IMG SRC="http://www.blackcut.com/XImaging/images/lilsiggy2.jpg">

You need to use UBB code not HTML in the sig.<P>

[IMG]http://www.blackcut.com/XImaging/images/lilsiggy2.jpg]

now?

I'll take that as a no an the .swf question ...thanks guys

F1 gave you the correct UBB code TFX17. Can't use html for the sigs. And as far as r@m goes...only Doc would know the answer to that one.<P>It would be cool to have a link to what you had in mind though <P>

if your viewing in NN right click my sig icon and view peek.swf, i haven't spent much time on it, it seems a bit pointless if i can't get it to work
wait a few seconds and all will become clear
he's scared of mouse pointers btw
you need to resize the window down to normal sig size.....for some reason it get's displayed enormous......<P>

Just wanted to get in on the action to a small extent. Only problem I ran into was keeping the image small, in height. The use of lens flare forced me to increase the height. I was hoping to keep the height around 35, but was unsure as to how I should have made the top and bottom meld to the background with the highly contrasting colors of the lens flare being the image border.<P> <p>[This message has been edited by WarMage (edited 30-05-2000).]

Maybe you should try actually sqeezing the lens flare so that it's more of an eliptical shape, see if that looks good, and it will decrease the size.

Or, you could make the picture really big, so the lens flare and text are almost the same size, then shrink the immage down to the size you wanted.<P> - Dan -
