FYI RE: Rotating signatures /avatars

[zedxrgal]

Moderator note: Signavatar is apparently now working again so the following is for historical reference only


Signavatar is up for sale and is of no more. So if you use this hosting site for rotating avatars and signatures you'll need to find another or pick just one to use. Such a shame.

Darn, that was my favourite rotating site.

[cowmuflage]

So that's why peoples icons have gone away. I get it now.

Manual rotation time. ._.

Manual rotation time. ._.

^ This for me. I love all my pets too much to exclude them, so I plan on getting in the habit of rotating my avatars on a weekly basis.

I was thinking weekly too.

[Kalliope]

I'm personally giving it a day or two; they might just need to renew.

^ Pretty much this. It says it's pending. That doesn't mean it's no more.

[Eternallylostx]

It might be just because I'm on a iPhone, but the website doesn't seem to exist period. :L

[Qinni]

good thing i like my current sig and avatar right now.

[Kalliope]

http://sig.grumpybumpers.com/ is my backup site, since I had problems with SignAvatar before. The downside is that you need two accounts, one for sigs and the other for avs. Aside from that, it works fine.

[Lisaara]

Sweet. :3

[Seilahyn]

I'm currently trying out http://www.random-image.net/ as a backup just in case SignAvatar doesn't come back. It seems a little slow, but you can do both Avatars and Sigs and then some. You create a name for the link and upload whatever images you want into that "folder" and it will randomize through them. So technically you can have multiple sites sigs and avatars if you please. Just again, seems a bit slow at times.

Although.. the link for my avatar isn't working it seems. Poo.

Oh.. and it has a 1500 view limit in 24 hours. Bleh. Maybe not so great now.

Edit:
I just broke that grumpybumpers site it seems. I made an account and tried to upload my avatars and it's now dead. lol

So.. how do I get the grumpybumpers link to work for my avatar? It's a .gif so it's rejecting it.

Having this problem too. Maybe I need to add an actual .gif to the rotation to fool the forum out of the type-mismatch error?

[Kalliope]

Oh yeah, that's the other limitation. Completely forgot!

[Lisaara]

Yeah. I PMed Wain about the avatar problem. Maybe he can fixie?

[Sar]

If you have webspace you can host the sig images yourselves, and use an easy to find PHP image rotator. That's what I use for my sigs.

[Lisaara]

YAY! Kalli's sig place works now

Signavatar is still gone though....this makes me a very sad panda. :<

[Snowy]

I can't get Kalli's link to work. :/ I uploaded all my avatars there but it's rejecting the link when I use it for some reason.

[Kalliope]

Yeah, my guess is that it died under the influx of people from signavatar. *sigh*

I guess I'll switch to a manual rotation too.

Wait a minute, now my stuff's loading.....guess I'll be waiting it out again to make sure it's stable.

*squee moment for the newest siggy*
