Forum Signature Sizes

[SK]

Looking around it seems peoples signitures are becoming larger and larger. Because of this, Im now going to set a few signiture size limits.
This is really for protection from the forums looking cluttered and people who browse the site on a low bandwidth connection (i.e 56K).

One image only.
Dimension Size Limit: 500 x 65 Pixels
Donators (http://www.thebanlist.com/forums/subscriptions.php) Size Limits: 500 x 130 Pixels
Physical Size: 100k
Valid Extentions: jpeg, jpg, gif

Example of max size

Need somewhere to host the image? Try...

Note: Do not attempt to direct link thumbnails from the forum. They will be removed!

[elim]

Can't agree more. Some users' sigs are huge in both respects :)

[nexans]

[Hajo]

[Jon]

[C-X]

Well done SK, there's nothing worse than forums looking cluttered by stupidly large signature graphics.. :)

[SK]

Ill begin removing larger signatures on Wednesday. You have until then Jon :)

[Vorm]

[SK]

Needs shrinking or remaking :)

Anyone want to help out with making or resizing existing images?

[Pro]v[etheus]

Thanks Maddin, i like yours too :)

[Destroyer]

[Pro]v[etheus]

No, it would appear that your signature exceeds the legal limit and therefore you will be required to change it or face a fate worse than death :shocked:

[SK]

Whats wrong with the size's specified? Signatures are supposed to be small, and not take up most of the screen. Must we take a vote on it?

Go on then, if we must :rolleyes:

[Jon]

hey u make me a cool sig i cant im in on the protest

[SK]

If you want to vote on it someone else will have to start a thread.

[Miz]

How about doing away with picture sigs or sigs altogther?
Or the whole forum?
Or the server?
Awkward gits. :p

I think it looks alot more tidy with signatures reduced or at least all the same size.

[Jon]

*COUGH*HITLER MIZ *COUGH* ow that hurt u cnt get rid of sigs alltogether

[SK]

Actually your very wrong :)

Good Naigel. I also like Nexans' but I would be concerned about file size (not sig size).

Ketchup, what about this (http://www.iatp.karoo.net/Images/Ketchup.bmp) for your sig?

[Ketchup]

Keewl thats sweet Vorm TY :D

[SK]

Shame its over the size limits. :(

[Ketchup]

Resize will work. Might looked squashed though.
