A thread where we can all get advice on making sigs,
CONSTRUCTIVE critiscism on our current sigs or request new material (quotes, jokes etc.). Now also the nearly complete encyclopedia of useable UBB code at HG.FAQ:
To create a sig go to my account -> Log In -> Edit signature
Hexadecimal # is short for Hexidecimal Number or Hexadecimal RGB. It is a series of 6 numbers or letters that tell the browser what color to display.Resources:

Turning UBB Code Off in Your Posts: [ubboff]Text[ubbon];[b]Bold text with no bold[/b] ***NOTE***: [ubboff] is closed with [ubbon] not [/ubboff]. It also for some reason deletes these tags when you edit, so its a good idea to back up any post using [ubboff] and [ubbon].
The Code Tag: [code]Text[/code]; RedFF0000
Blue0000FF
Green008000
The Code Tag preserves spaces in posts. Good for making tables, charts etc.This CANNOT be done in sigs though I thought I would add it anyways. This is inserting an image:[IMG]url[/IMG]
You can 'add' images to your sig by making a link to the URL instead.
HG Admins are not willing to pay for the incredible amounts of bandwidth needed for maintaining large numbers of images being posted on the forum in the form of sigs, this is the reason why images are not allowed to be directly placed in your signature. If you really want an image, make a link to it as stated above.Tips and Miscellaneous:
- Don't use bright colors or neon if you plan on posting here unless you want that part to be hard to read on purpose
- Use the preview button before saving changes
- Quotes should be in quotes or italicized and the name of the person who said it afterwards
- Whispered sigs are nice and generaly are more aesthetic to the general public, they also take up less space, which is good too
- If you want to find how to make a special character/symbol and have a PC use the following method:
Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map -> Look around till you find them
For a Mac:
Apple Icon in the top left -> Key Caps -> Experiment until you find the right combo
- Try not to make your sig overused or cliche, experiment with new ideas.
More to come soon.This thread is not for idle conversation or spam. This IS NOT another LPW.
