I got a PM the other day asking how I did various things in my signature, well I'm going to show you all the secrets
 So first of all theres those bars that show what you use and things they're called signature bars you can get them by clicking below  signaturebar.com is fantastic for signature bars, you can even request one of your choice. It is supported by ads and donations also by a few talented developers with an eye for detail go take a look! Next theres the sliding text, called marquees CODE [marquee=left] Right to left scrolling text [/marquee] accomplishes CODE [marquee=right] Left to right scrolling text [/marquee] accomplishes CODE [marquee=down] Top to bottom scrolling text [/marquee] accomplishes Next theres the hiding text BB code Theres two ways you can do this theres one that looks like
{$author['id']} This OR this The first one is done by using this CODE [test]Your text here[/test] and the second CODE [hide]Your text here[/hide] These are the most popular and the ones I was asked about an entire list can be found HERE I hope you enjoy messing about with these  Karlos |

Awesome, now I'll actually have a decent sig here.
 As for the top to bottom marquee, how do you define the size of the visible area? Because I only see one line with a lot of area it's scrolling in. |

I would like to point out that you can find all the bbcodes at the bottom of the shoutbox by clicking on the BBcode link, as there are a lot more ways you could customize your sig block or even posts themselves. You could say this is a quick reminder of some of the bbcodes this forums has or uses.

Nice tut man, also having a good looking sig has to do with some graphics as well. Try requesting a signature in our graphics forum or making a good one yourself. I happen to be a sig maker myself and hope to be in Gfx Crew at one point. Goog tutorial though.

Ya know, I was just thinkin, with the marquee tags, one could easily have a massive sig without it stretchin the boards. I mean, all they'd have to do is stick the image tag or what have you inside the marquee tags and that'd be it. Instant massive sig in a small space....or at least, maximum allowed sig space.
