well no one created the topic yet and I just noticed discussion of a topic like this, so I'll create it for everyone, basically, you ask anything that has to do with MAL, like settings, editing, BBcode trouble and things alike.

Yea I'm familiar with them, I've been using them all day on my profile. I got too carried away with the gif power though xD but the only part I know I'm messing up on is the size requirements

do you know or have somewhere to resize it? remember Images placed in forum signatures must not: exceed a total area of 600px width by 150px height.
And exceed a total file size of 300 kB.

No I don't know of any, I've tried just editing the gif on some apps on my phone but they end up resizing it all weird and making it blurry

actually I just figured my question out, nevermind lol

s0ck
okay this might take a bit of explaining, so cope with me

alright, first off, find a picture, second go to MAL edit profile, go to forum settings, now go back to the image, if the image is the right size (600 pixels widith, 150 pixels height is the largest it can be) then you simply put [img*]insert image url here[*/img] (remove the *)on your signature, if it don't work, or you want the picture to appear bigger, go to an image sharing site.

a good one that I use would be http://www.online-image-editor.com/ (but if you use this one you will also have to use another image sharing site (http://tinypic.com/ I'll tell you why further down this explanation)) you can save the image, or just put the url on that site to the bottom left,

after you do so, you should be given the option to resize after you upload the image,

now when you resize it, keep in mind you can't make it bigger, but you can make it smaller, after you do so, save the image, and go to tinypic.com

after you go there, upload the image there, don't edit it at all during the upload, just leave it to default (you should have already edited enough on the other site) once you upload it, copy the url in the second box down on the left

and then paste it on signature in your edit profile, forum settings

the reason for using the other image site, is because the first image site I gave you, doesn't have a forum url, it's missing the second box down, like what is shown in the second screenshot I took, so it won't work, and the reason I don't use the second image site for the resizing is because, you can resize it and all, but it's not as custom as the first one, the second one only gives you 5 or 6 resizing options, so to be COMPLETELY custom, I use the first site for the resizing

Wings, I took a guess and seeing the response he gave you, I was right, he has no clue how the image sharing sites work, I didn't either, he is in the same postion as I was what 3 weeks ago? so I went in depth on the answer, hope you can understand it s0ck, xD

just leave it be until you upload it, then you will be given the option to full scale resize, ((when you resize I would just set the height as 150, and the width should automatically resize, and that would be the biggest you can get it, if you wanna get it bigger (width wise)), I can no longer be of assistance.

I am not so sure about that, if you do, it will probably either look streched out, or won't work at all, it all depends on the size, and the calulated percentages, (too much math), so I would just set the height to 150 and have the width automatically resize itself, as you can tell my signature doesn't take up the whole bottom signature layer of a post, it only takes up the left side, thats because if I resize it to fit the whole signature layer that is provided, when editing the forum settings, it will either not work, or look stretched out.

Ok Im gonna put a picture instead of a gif for now, but every time I put the height to 150 the width changes then when I put the width to 600 then height changes, so I'll just make the height 150 and keep the width whatever it turns out to be right?

... you are trying to do this signature for the forums right? that signature is a totally different topic that wings has discussed with me a little bit, but not a lot, that is for putting your anime list as your signature, if ur using an image or gif for a signature go to 'forum settings', not 'my signature'

I mean, I know, Fall, Spring, Winter yada yada yada.
But in my country, there are only two seasons, Sunny and Rainy...
