Here are some Maple Story renders that I made today (you can click on the renders to enlarge): And here's one without the mushroom sidekick (feel free to fill me in on what that is): And here's a sig I made for the occasion: Comments are appreciated on all three.

What I'm seeing now is a brushed, monochromatic background, styled text, and a render on top of all of that. What's worse is that the background is not transparent...in Firefox, so it really doesn't look like it's popping out.You could blend that render in a bit so that it looks like it's popping out of the sig....

Just use which ever brush you want. Pick one that looks good. Go to deviantart.com and check out all the brushes that have high ratings. Usually, you'll find that it's all of Metal-CX's brushes and alias's brushes (http://xaliasx.deviantart.com/). Download those.Then just pick a random brush set that you have and start brushing. Once you have your background, pick a render that will go with it. :-/

Sprite, don't pay attention to the ratings. They change all the time. Just look at the comments of each sig. That's how I improved...Anyway, those are all very good. The only thing I don't like is that they're a little bit on the dark side, so they won't attract a lot of attention. Just hit a little brightness on the renders, and you'll be fine.

If we allowed you to do that, then everyone would do that also, and no one would participate at this forum. If that happened, then Xisto would go down under.So in short, you cannot suspend your hosting. You're gonna have to be like everyone else...post until you have enough credits for how long you'll be idle. :-/

Find the troubled file, copy its content to Notepad, go to View - Status Bar, then scroll down, click on a random line, look at the status bar, and it will tell you what line your cursor is on. Keep doing that until you get what you want.I'm also moving this to another forum since it doesn't belong here.

Why is it monotone? This one is pretty awesome. Try going a few extra steps to make the render stand out a bit. Maybe increase its brightness? As for the border, make it thinner like Cool_Freaker said, but bring it down so that it doesn't go over the render.

That's actually pretty good. Bring the scanlines below the render, and it'll look even better.

Change the font style. The rest is good, but the font just kills it.

I mean the box next the the font size. The one that has aa on the left of it. Select None instead of whatever you have.

Speaking of the render, can you upload it for me because I can't find it on my hard drive anymore. Maybe I deleted it because I thought I couldn't use it....

Sweet. Can you point me in the right direction of this tutorial?

All I have to say is...what's up with the scanline pattern over the ENTIRE sig? It just ruins everything. If you want, you can lower the opacity for the pattern, make the dimensions smaller, and put it over the water only. :-/

That's pretty dumb. Why shouldn't teens be able to buy games that are rated T (T for Teen)? I understand that teens should not play M rated game, but why T rated games also?

Yeah, no problem. And if you don't want to waste bandwidth, then you can try this shorter code: <?phpHeader("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");Header("Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT");Header("Pragma: no-cache");Header("Content-Type: image/gif");// Header info, forces no cache and image type of GIF $sigs = file("http://sang.trap17.com/sig.png/list.txt"); //replace the URL inside with your list.txt $blah = $sigs[rand(0, count($sigs) - 1)]; $blah = substr($blah, 0, strlen($blah) - 1); readfile($blah);?> What that does is it finds a list.txt inside your sig.png folder, picks a random line, and displays it. Your list.txt file is basically a list of all the URLs to your sigs...one per line. Just check out mine if you don't know what I'm talking about: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ This is good if you don't want to waste your own webspace and bandwidth.

Okay, I solved my own problem. The difference between the two links provided above was that one had a br tag while the other did not. In my CSS file, I coded a break statement for ALL br tags, so it causes it do act weird.Thanks for reading though.

I am having problems figuring out why my image will not align how I want it. Here, you can see that the image is aligned to the left. This is the code for that block: <a href="http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/844/r25870774779uu.jpg"><img src="http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/844/r25870774779uu.th.jpg" alt="bush bathroom break note" align="left" style="margin-right: 5px;"></a>[text goes here] But if you go here, you can see that the text does not stay to the right of the thumbnails. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Haha, awesome.Problem solved -> thread closed.

The second one is better than the first because it's a tad brighter. Open both of them in separate tabs in Firefox, switch back and forth, and you'll know what I mean. Great job on both of them though.May I ask what a clonestamp is?

You can't update your nameservers on the Xisto - Web Hosting cpanel. You have to go to where ever you bought your domain, log in, and change it there. Look for a control panel.As for the nameservers, I have no idea what they are. You're gonna have to PM OpaQue.

Why does everything look so monochromatic? Try to vary the colors a little bit so that it looks better. For the little box above the name, you can put a drop shadow on there to give it more flavor.

Nice modification. How did you do it? Shadow?I have that render as well, but I never used it since it was on a green background (why do people do that?). Good stuff though. The only thing I'd change is the text...make it a little brighter.

Looking at your warn log, you have not done anything major at this forum. You only made a post with an inappropriate title. Usually, one will get banned if they completely spam this forum with plagiarized articles, and you have not done that, so you have nothing to worry about.Wait after a month or so, and if the person who warned you has not lowered your warning level, PM them to remind them.

The ones above the half-life sig are really good. The half-life one itself is also good. The colors on the rest just looks weird. Whether it's monochromatic or the color is too bright.Good job overall though.
