Default animated signature shows my most recent purchase and is updated. The custom ones (animated or not) are only as new as whenever I added Prime Vehicon to my collection.





Also my flash signature is completely blank. I don't use it, but just pointing it out.

Same thing with my flash sig; has been that way for a few days.

Whoops, guess I broke something, eh? Will take a look tonight...

While we are on the topic of custom signatures.
I had put the basic one on most of TF related forums with no problem until this showed up a little while ago on TFW.

"Sig pictures are to be no larger than 40KB in file size and should be no larger than 300 pixels in height and 500 pixels wide - 2005 Staff"

Is there a workaround that can fix this or am I stuck with an unusable sig for TFW.

Thanks again.

Tripredacus

Yes I brought this up before here. That is why the signature previews also show the file size, so you can determine which ones will fit in with whichever forums rules there are.

Yep. I spent 3 months developing the custom signature system just to deal with tfw2005's somewhat arbitrary enforcement of this rule (their concerns are not solely technical--they allow unlimited sig size for a membership fee). Unfortunately, you can't cram too much into 40k, so you pretty much have to turn off everything but the fun facts, and use a plain background (you might even have to use a custom solid background if you're still going over the limit).

But you don't have to let them spoil all your fun. You can have as many custom sigs as you like, so you can have a bare bones one for them, and a 14-pager for everybody else.

Oh, and some other bugs came up, so I haven't fixed the updating issue yet. Should get to it tonight.

Yeah, over on TFW2005, this is the version I have to use, due to size limitations.

Sorta sad, haha.

Yeah, I thought that was the one I had just for that reason; oh well.
Reentered the code for the basic and we will see what happens from there.

Thanks for the heads up info fellas!

Hah, pretty bleak. That gradated background and fist graphic are a big part of the problem. I could also maybe try serving a highly-compressed jpeg if rounded corners are turned off. Sigh.

So I spent the evening with the debugger, and I'm not sure if we really have a bug or not. I think it may be a matter of confusing "date bought" with "date added" (to your collection). The "Most recent" line in the dynamic sig goes by "date bought", meaning the dates you manually enter by using the calendar widget in the collection UI. I just added Darth Vader to my collection, and set the "date bought" to "today", and looky here:



Would you prefer I use "date added" instead?

Was it always date bought? I could have swore that it used to be date added.

EDIT: If it is date bought then my sig hasn't been updated since February...

I manually refreshed all the sigs, to be safe. Please let me know if you notice anything like this happening again.

Tripredacus

Bump. Last item bought showing in Sig from March 29. Soundwave combat communicators, but my profile shows items after that.

engledogg

I just took a look at your profile (sorted by Date Bought: Newest First) and it's also showing the newest item bought being the Combat Communicators.

Ah I see it. Its because I didn't enter dates on the other things. I was looking at "added to collection - newest first" which was what I though the sig used. Thanks!
