Gr8! Can you let me know how to make tags, though? I'd like to try making one then people can vote on which one they want. Whaddya say? Oh, and if you're gonna update it, try putting Eggman in if you could.

Sure I'll update it and add eggman. I like the idea about putting the words over the pictures too.

Most people use Photoshop to make tags and such, but I don't have that program, so that's why it doesn't look nearly as good as most other union tags do. I make do with Microsoft Word and Microsoft picture editor.

I just selectd a character on the US site and then pressed "print scrn" to capture the image onmy screen. I then opened up microsoft picture editor and clicked copy, putting the screenshot on my computer. I did this for each character. I then cropped the screenshots unitl all I had left was a good shot of the characters' faces. Next, I resized the images to my liking, making sure they were all the same height. I then copied each one into microsoft word, putting them all in line. I typed "the sonic riders union" and then pressed "print scrn" again. I copied, cropped, and was left with the tag. If you own photoshop, you'll have a much easier time with making tags than this, and they'll look alot more polished. 

Oh, and if you make your own tags, I don't think we really need to have a vote on them. Just post it and people can use whichever tag they like.

*****EDIT*****

Here's a more "profesional" looking one. All I did was put a text box over the images and set the transparency on the fill to 75% (yeah, I know Eggman's a little cut off, but it's the best I could get it to look.)

As far as tags go, can you tell me how exactly we get them to link to our unions? Also how we can put them in our sigs.

Just remove those red asterisks and past it inot your sig and it should work.

Here's what is should display with the asterisks removed: [url=http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/home.php?union_id=SRiders]

It should work. It takes a while for it to appear in your signiature. Give it a few hours. Mine didn't appear in my signiature until the day after I put it in.

Finally got my hands on a good trial GIF animator. Here's the first of 3 new type based union tags I'm going to create. Enjoy.

You remember the deal, copy, paste, remove red asterisks.

Just put the tag in your signature and then highlight the tag and click the link buttton to make it a link yourself since we seem to be having a problem with the coding the other way.

Those links with the red asterisks, are they one big link or is it two separate ones?

Yo, here's another avatar for the union.  You really can't do a whole lot with 36x36 for an avatar.  I've got my animation, but that's mine, nothing personal.

It's all one big think. It's the link to the image imbedded in a link to the union, making it so when the image is clicked on it links to the union.

Ok. Thanks for the info. When I add it to my sig is there anyway to have it so a big space won't be between it and the one I have now?

Click on the "< >" button and then at the end of your text type <br>.  It puts a single line break instead of the double space default.

You have to be absolutely sure that you put the <br> after the sig, and then scroll down to insert tag as a picture.
