Signature

[Katu]

What is the maximum height of a signature picture (If I only use a picture on my sig)?

 

[Wolverabid]

For images uploaded to our server, the maximum limit is 500x150 pixels. I would hope that all users would also maintain that limit for linked images as well.

It may soon be necessary to update the signature guidelines.

Eh, if they are I'm guessing my size sig is either going to go or be the absolute max. Oh well, it's been good while it lasted.

Absolute max? Shados, your sig is a bitmap. You should probably compress it into png, gif, or jpeg and it will take up a lot less storage space and bandwidth.
As it is, it's quite a big sig.

I think the size limit is half a MB

Oh I know it's a bitmap, but I hate other formats so. In any case, it even loads fine on this agonisingly slow 256k ADSL I have at my father's house. And I did mention it's big.

Shados, I think you exceeded the 100 pixel height limit

 

[Wolverabid]

Signatures that contain linked images in excess of 500X150 pixels (or multiple images such as user bars arranged side-by-side) certainly violate the spirit if not the exact letter of our present rules.


New guidelines are being developed and will soon be posted in this forum.

 

[Shados]

Yeah, but I never liked the spirit of that particul rule anyway. And besides, you can see how pretty my sig is .

You know, you could save the image as a PNG and maintain 100% of the original quality and it would be far smaller in file size.

Can we use a very big signature if it's not more than 500 KB?? Say yes then I put the biggest sig ever

Maybe a highly compresseg plain black JPG??? lol

Anyway, half MB is NOT 500 KB. It's 512 KB.
