Title: Backloggery signature is stretched
Post by: Zing on May 29, 2012, 08:14:24 PM
As you can see, the standard Backloggery signature is all stretched. This appears to be due to the RFG forum insisting on some bizarre size tags when I edit my signature. I remove the size tags, but they immediately return. The signature is dynamic, so it isn't always the same size.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

i just googled it, try putting these tags around it (with square brackets instead of curly ones), using the width/height of the original signature size.
{img width=80 height=40} {/img}

The problem is that the signature is dynamically sized depending on how many games I am currently playing, or whatever other info it is showing. Any fixed size will look improper at least some of the time.

Why are these forums even enforcing a fixed size anyway? I just did some tests and it allowed me to set ridiculously large sizes, so its not like there is a size limit.

I think what's happening is that the forum is detecting the size of the banner and just filling in the HTML code to reflect that. But then when the image changes, it still has the old size in the code.

I know I've seen others with backloggery signatures before, maybe they've found a work around and will post it.

I think NES_Rules is correct on this one. You'll likely need to set a size that you think will work. Most of the Backloggery banners here typically only have 3 games on them, and are about the same size as you have now.
