Helpful Signature Advice ;)

[JojocIaw]

Hi guys,

I wanted you let you guys know, if you didn't already, that there is a way to make the url adresses smaller which is helpful when adding stuff to your signature.

--------------------------------------------

Normal Members are limited to 3 lines
Premium Members are limited to 5 lines

--------------------------------------------

I know there are some url addresses that are quite long and may take up more than a line.


Example:

[URL="http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602"]http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602[/URL]
[URL="http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602"]http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602[/URL]
[URL="http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602"]http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602[/URL]

using a url shortner you can turn it into:

[URL="http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7"]http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7[/URL]
[URL="http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7"]http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7[/URL]
[URL="http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7"]You can modify this text dattebane![/URL]

You get what I am saying?

One such url shortner I found was Tiny URL.

also...

OT: You can also use Bit.ly

You are more than welcome to google it and start using it. It makes things easier for me when editing my signature or when posting pictures in my screenshots thread.

Enjoy. ^___^



Note from Kurapika-kun:

btw link shorteners aren't a very trust worthy method, as you cannot make sure which website you're being linked to until it's too late, and they are widely associated with viruses and spam, so make sure to not click links from link shorteners unless their from someone you trust ^_^

Note from Alkad-sama

[font=monospace, mono-space]There are better ways to shorten your URLs:

This:
[URL="http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602"]http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602[/URL]
into
[URL="http://145.239.2.142/index.php?threads/157602/"]link[/URL]
or
[URL="http://145.239.2.142/index.php?posts/5639156/"]link[/URL]

Note From Koto: This works if it is a link from Naruto Base, otherwise use the suggestion below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*If it isn't a thread or post, simply remove the BBCode option:
[URL]http://www.narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157602[/URL]

Using this in conjunction with URL shorteners will give you much smaller code

[URL="http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7"]http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7[/URL]
vs.
[URL]http://tinyurl.com/6n7jdn7[/URL]

also, you don't need "quotes" in the URL option.[/font]

*My bad I didn't see this. >__<

Helpful advice from Bleezerd d' leezerd

Also now a days people are using merged Pictures which is fairly easy to do. If you want multiple pictures in your signature and you have some banners, i would suggest you to ask any Graphic designer in nb to combine them into one image, but make sure you dont ask to exceed the size limit of signature which is 650x300 px.

I didn't know this o.o This should be very helpfull thank you ^^

 

[Catalyst]

['Kurapika]

another way is too hide the actual link inside text like here -------> "

You must be registered for see links

"

 

[Vayne]

She wasn't talking about that.
She was talking about how you can make a whole link shorter, not how to hyperlink U_U

OT: You can also use Bit.ly and also your advertising on NB:\
Edit and change the link to something else NarutoBase related.​

Like Kura-kun said
i meant "another" as in another way to overcome the number of line's limit, shortening the links is one way, and hiding the link inside anchor text is another

Thank you. I quoted you in the OP.

 

[Scorps]

Thank you. I'll leave this open so that members can ask you more questions about this. ^^​

Advertising refers to other anime/manga sites, not a place such as tiny url. o.o

I saw this when I uploaded images to tinypic some time ago and it really helps the signature area not be so messy, aswell as provide some space. This is helpful. Thanks.
