whether beginners can use bitcointalk signatures?

What's the max character limit in signature per rank?

Not knowing this makes it hard to design bounty sig code beyond my rank.

Member (me) is 4,000.  Can anyone test theirs and report?

Thanks a lot

Thank you I was finding this since long time

I am newbie here
Can you give me some more knowledge about signature..
I will also pm you..
Thank you

thanks for sharing your knowledge of BBCode generators with us. a piece of advice though. Take your address off the top and move it to the bottom of your post. Seeing that first before anything else kind of discredits everything that follows.
present your information, then subtly, place it somewhere towards the bottom. Don't make the font bold or larger than the rest of the characters. I'm not trying to bash you here man, it just comes off as tacky. And definitely, add some working examples of sigs if you are teaching sigs. Good luck man.

Thank you very much for sharing this.

Try the manytool... link and it gives required characters my friend but anyways I also agree with roslinp and I had no intentions to do anything bad, maybe some guys can earn some free dollars.

The generated minion seem to be fuzzy to look at, and roslinpl is right, it contains more characters compared to the number of maximum allowed characters in signatures which is 4000, which also makes the minion unusable for a signature example.

Roslinpl himself have his own BBcode tutorial for those wanting to get a nice knowledge about them and to somehow monetize your signature design skills with it. BBcode designs, though harder, can be a way to use less characters but have a refined and unique look if you used it correctly.

You don't have to be sorry. I don't feel bad at all because all designers around Forums know those generators from years.
They are not new

And we know how hard is to use them in order to get any good results

So all I want is to warn people before they use those generators.

Please make a nice signature using those generators and then recommend them ;-)

ps. I know that you feel like you hit the jackpot ;-) but you are not the 1st person who post links to generators
Same generators were 'recommended' in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 ;-)
And somehow still people don't use them frequently to make sigs ;-)

I know what you want to do here ;-)
I don't mind you learning people how to make BBCode sigs but please - post some examples of nice, unique, working generated signatures ;-)
It's easy to talk about it when you don't really have to use it in a professional way ;-) If you 'recommend' something you should at least post some good examples ;-)


Good luck with those generators and I think they can help when you are a newbie.
But professional BBCode Sigs Designers will probably agree with me that those generators are just a waste of time ;-)

Anyway ;-) All best.
Thanks



I suggest to learn how to use Google.

Open google.com search engine then search for: 'ASCII Image Converter / Generators'.
That's only an example how to find 'Image to ASCII' converters ;-)


Yeah amazing. Now try to put it into a signature ;-) and make it works, add all links, add text, make it not stretched, don't shrink it. 1:1 with original 'logo'. Make it looks sharp and visible and follow Forum rules like 4000 chars max.etc. etc. etc. ;-) Good luck with those generators ;-) I was trying to use them many many times (always failure). Failure is always an option.
 


PS. Your 'Minion' example contain around ~38000 characters.
I hope you remember that forum signature can be made from maximum 4000 characters.

Your generators are very nice to post a BBCode image on a thread (maybe).
But they are pretty much useless for signature designers.


Best wishes.

Great, guide. Really answers all the questions needed to learn BBCode.

I knew most of the codes given in the op already but converting images to bbcode was something I was looking for long, thanks for letting us know about the tools that exist there for us to get help of. Quite useful thread op.

I am here just to clear doubts. With all the due respect for roslinp and others give me anything you guys feel and I will draw it with those generators, give me

I am among those who believe that if a software can save your time why even work hard, it's like you have calculator and you solve long calculations manually which though is not wrong (actually good) but isn't effective.

I haven't made this guide to disrespect any designer and I know how hard they work but if others learn there is nothing wrong either, is it ?

That is exactly true. everything you said is right on point. I've spent many many hours here mastering the Signature art. It can be frustrating at times. What you said about the smallest things ruining your design....... That is not an exaggeration. Then finding out why it all the sudden isn't working right or why it looks perfect on your PC but your circle looks a fighter jet or a popped football on an iPhone.  There are small tricks of the trade seemingly specific to this forum. So unless you have many frustrated hours creating signatures here at BitcoinTalk, Even a BBcode expert will find a challenge in creating a full set of nice looking sigs. I'm on my companies profile now but I've been active on roslin's thread for a while.

Nice and good @bilochoa. If i hadn't already learnt all these things (thanks to @roslinpl for the tutorials) then i'm sure i would have learnt a lot of things out of your thread. It is a good start for those who haven't yet tried designing signatures at all (i'm not one of them anymore, good for me, lol).
But, as said by @roslinpl already, the site (for generating ansi code from images) does not actually work for signatures. I have also tried them, and the outcome was not really convincing. I thought maybe it will generate the characters in a good way which i may be able to fit in a signtures, but turned out, it generates the characters but when you try to make it look better, it either gets too large (sometimes even more than 4000 letters, which is maximum allowed for a signature here) or looks totally different when you try to lessen the characters. So, the only option i see also, is to draw them manually, and to keep checking whether your image is not taking too much space as we need to stay in a limit while making designs. If there were no limits, i guess every beginner would have been an expert soon in this field. But it needs experience, and knowledge about each and every thing. Even the smallest things can ruin your design and the smallest things can make it look way better as well.
Good luck with your tutorials anyway, and keep sharing good information.
Regards.

Amazing and you can play with size too

thank you for the lovely sharing , but i want to ask you , is that an HTML codes ?

I am sorry you took it personal and those generators can be used to make anything. I don't have any orders in my hand else I would do and show you that how effective these are. I apologize if you felt bad, but teaching others something is actually good. Some people are having to faucet whole day for pennies so I thought maybe this helps them.
