Thank ye kindly.

I apologize for the "new guy" question, but I get an error message when I try to add my Backloggery banner to my signature. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

It's probably our extremist size limits on signature images. I'll try to take a look for you.

OK, the issue appears to be that the link they give you in the Backloggery signature image code block doesn't actually direct to a .gif file like the code suggests, but to a .php page that surfaces a .png image. This also means the .gif the forum thinks it's looking for doesn't have dimensions, per se, so the forum can't verify whether the image fits within the restrictions.

I think the only way to get around this on our end would be to completely lift the image size restrictions...

Could you lift if for a few days let whoever wants to change their stuff to backloggery then unlift it or will that break it?

Huh. Strange. I saw a few other folks here with their Backloggery banners in their signatures, so I wasn't expecting it to be an issue.

Either way, it sounds like fixing the problem is more trouble than it's worth, so don't worry about it. I'll put something else down there. Thanks for looking into it.

So if Slurmee changed his TONe ID does that mean some of his TONe trophies won't transfer over? Are all threads on TONe compatible with SkyPikachu or only the ones made after 2015? Will he lose some of his forum data? Will only some users will be able to see his name as SkyPikachu while others will still see Slurmee?
