I see at the bottom of that page is an html markup for the corresponding image.... should there be one under it for use in GTZ usage? Meaning it utilizes the {curly braces with no / on the end}?

Also, how does one mess around with the format? I see _kate_, Boss, and Chad have entries for it. Is there a thread somewhere that I'm missing?


Spoiler
is it in Subscriber?

For GTZ usage, you just take the image and do a standard image tag.

{ img } http://images.kenyonhill.com/gtzsig.php?name=Doug&... { img }

And those drop box options are the only available ones at the moment. The reason our names are on them is because we designed them for the site.

I still need to finish this up and do something more official with it...

You can use the markup code it should here, no problem. You don't have to convert to {}s. It's BBCode mark-up and that generally works here as well as most other places.



The above was done with the BBCode mark-up, it works!

Off topic (sorry): I was wondering about the names that appear on the sigs. On this site my name is Noltillian but what if I wanted to use the sig on another site but use the name I go by there? Is there any way to add aliases?

We designed the sigs. The original topic is located here: http://gametz.com/forum/Site_Feedback/topic/295985.... The concept is to use the sigs outside of gameTZ on other msg boards to get users to come over here, not as gameTZ sigs. Feel free to create your own concept to use the more we have the more people can chose from to use. *yes*

I can add a new "blank" if someone comes up with another... having it be the same dimensions and roughly the same places to add stuff helps too.

Bill is there a way you can change the file type from png to bmp or jpeg? Avery has free software for printing lables. These tags will fit perfectly on the labels made for return addresses but it won't accept the png file format.

bmp isn't a good option since its a Windows format (doesn't always work so great if you're not using Windows).
jpeg tends to get artifacts (smudgy marks) because of the compression....
gif might be doable... but has a limit of 256 colors, so it may result in some jagginess.

maybe you can convert the png to a format you like before you use it in Avery (I've never heard of Avery, actually)

I assume some of them look pretty darn cool and people did not have another sig to use as this is all they had with there username on it.

Not all of it. The information on the bottom half of the sig is only available in the bio.
