Good job with the color scheme =)

The Sig Shop rules have been reworded to be more clear, but no fundamental change has been made to the rule itself.
If you have a suggestion that could help make it even less wordy and more clear, let me know.

IMPORTANT Rule for Sig Shop Owners:
Are you getting paid to make a signature and you had one of us recode a part of the order?
If yes, then pay your helper a portion of your earnings.

It would not be fair for us to code your sig shop order for free because
you would be getting paid for something that is not entirely your work.

Are you getting paid to make a signature but we did NOT rearrange or fix the code?
If this is the case, you do not need to pay anyone. A simple thank you is fine.

I will know if your signature is for your shop or for yourself. I check.

I recommend using borders.

Chrome has updated the GIF overlay tutorial to include a bit on creating a canvas using only OIE. A FAQ section has also been added. I will be compiling other user's answers to overlay questions into one post soon.

This is a compilation of different answers we've received concerning GIF issues:

One of the GIFs in my overlay keeps flashing! What do I do?

Usually, you have to redo the overlay. Try saving the files under different names, and then redoing the overlay.

I have also seen people say that this issue occurs when your GIFs are different lengths.
I can't seem to find those posts right now, nor can I confirm that this is true.

I believe Default confirmed this ages ago with a lengthy explaination on it. I don't know where it is but I will have a crack at explaining this. I can confirm that what Of The Falls said was true.

When making a gif overlay, all of the gifs you use have to be the same length, or you cut them to the same length.
By length I mean frames. Every gif has at least two frames in order for it to work, like a movie in a way. If you got two gifs and layered them on the same image, they should work right? Well, yes.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. This is the main exception. If one of them is longer than the other, then it will go for a longer time period. Changing the time of the individual gifs for it to work will not work either since you are merging it all into one gif, it runs on one speed and one speed only.

What I mean is if you have a gif with 20 frames going at 0.1 seconds per frame and then another gif with 10 frames going at 0.2 seconds a frame, it won't work because the whole image will either be 0.1 seconds long or 0.2 seconds long and the image with 10 frames will flash and disappear because of this.

So when making a gif overlay, make sure all of the gifs you use have the same amount of frames, otherwise it will not work.
