You can use a website called rotasig.com (If this isnt supposed to be posted, sorry =/ ) Just put the code (without [img ] stuff) and there you go ^_^

I used to use Rotasig.com but it kept messing up so I switched to SignAvatar.com. It allows you to have 500 avatars and 500 signatures.

Also be sure to upload any sigs made for you to tinypic or imageshack.

Does photobucket work at all for these?

SignAvatar will accept images from any image-hosted URL (from when I last checked, at least). In case you choose to rotate avatars, too: when loading the URL into Petopia's Avatars section, make sure you replace the default .gif URL ending that SignAvatar gives you, with .jpg or .png. The newly-revised Avatar section on Petopia will only recognize endings of .jpg or .png.

The .gif URL that SignAvatar gives you for siggies is just fine for Petopia's siggies section, though, so copy / paste away for that! :)

All mine are being hosted (is that the right word?) through Photobucket and I'm having zero problems. :D

Photobucket tends to have bandwidth issues from time to time. thats why I use tinypic.com. :)

You have to use the link SignAvatar gives you, silly. You upload all your stuff there then replace the link in your sig with the one from Signavatar. Vice versa with the avatar except you gotta replace .gif with .png.

Hey! I took some screenshots and highlighted the relevant parts to hopefully address your questions, Vulpixen. Sorry if this covers stuff you already know (e.g., siggie)!

1. Signature

Image

This is the personal URL SignAvatar assigns you. You can retrieve it by clicking on "Edit Sigs" on the right hand side. Copy / paste this into your Petopia signature (below). Same basic procedure as for typical siggies!

Image

2. Avatar

Image

Similar to the siggie, you can access your avatars' personal URL by clicking on "Edit Avatars". Copy / paste this into the location below:

Image

Take note, though, that you'll need to delete the ".gif" and replace it with ".png" (or ".jpg" will work, too).

Hope this helps! :)

Can I do two avatars at once? :3 Last question and if so how :lol:

Yup, you can upload two avatars to SignAvatar, then copy / paste your personal URL. Following the procedure outlined in my previous post, your Petopian account will then rotate between your two (or three, or five hundred =P) avatars. :) If what you're looking for is to have both avatars displayed at the same time rather than rotating, that isn't currently possible (as far as I know). Hope this helps!

Did you paste the URL into the "Link off-site" text box? I've made the mistake of pasting into "Upload from a URL" before, and that gives the same error message.

EDIT: Nvm, I just refreshed the page and saw your avatar rotate. You got it! :)
