Forums - Website Topics - I can't insert images into my signature

I wanted to insert this into my signature, but it just didn't show up. In the settings instead of the picture there was an extremely long code. What can I do?

maybe not



Well even downsizing the image and reducing it's resolution didn't help, even though it then only took 64kb of space while the original took over 300kb.
A different tiny 8kb picture worked though.

I'm usually on mobile btw, so both pictures look the same size to me. Only on PC I could see how big the other picture was.

Thanks for the help @Machina.

reducing the quality worked for me. took a few tries tho. I lowered to 40kb, maybe the limit is 48.

Welp, looks good though. I'll just leave mine as it is. To much work.

It's been weird for me too. I was trying to add an image a couple weeks ago, it was an imgur link, and whenever I clicked on 'update', not only would it not work, but it actually broke the whole site for a long time, like 30 minutes or so. Only for me, I think. But still.

If you open the image itself in a new tab the link it generates is all weird. Save the image to your PC as an ordinary .jpg file and upload that. As long as the image size isn't too big it should work.

I forgot you could upload images directly here so trying it again now, it seemed to work, until I saw that the signature now looks empty. Going back to edit it, turns out it was replaced by some massive code. Will try a couple other things, I guess.

That was exactly what happened to me. The file size is the issue it seems.

Yeah that did it, thanks. Got it down to 40kb and seems to be working now.

Looks great.
