New Signature Graphics Size

Postby Huggybaby » 22 Sep 2009, 06:14

We have a new size limit on signature graphics, and it's 400 x 20 pixels, which looks like this:

The idea is to give you the opportunity to provide a tasteful accent to your post, not a distracting billboard larger than your post, or the ability to list the specs for every computer you own, etc. This won't affect most of you, but for those it does please adjust your sigs accordingly.

Alright, 400 x 20 pixels seems pretty small though, but i got your point .Signatures shouldn´t be larger that their owners posts.
Retired a long time ago. I will not reply.

This is still a new forum, and the sig graphics size was one of the many options in the admin control panel that we had not even configured yet. As it was, users could have a sig graphic of UNLIMITED size. So, this change wasn't meant to punish anyone, or single anyone out, just to get us caught up. We really don't want this forum looking like a facebook page, not that there's anything wrong with that. It just reflects the taste of the admins here.

BTW Salbei, your graphic looks really cool.

<edit> I'm changing max size to 600x20

Nice, but not in spec. In a day or so, I'm going to remove all sigs that are too large, sorry. Anyway, here's your chance to come up with something new.

quite sorry my sig will get busted.

Too big ? well maybe, sorry about that as well. But after all, I'm a graphgic desigher, and sorry again I advertise for my trade whenever I can(these days I NEED it)....and I do have to do something "graphic".

20 pixels high ? how generous you should have made it even smaller

What's unfortunate is that I'm forced to delete signatures at all, rather than people, with plenty of advance notice, doing it themselves. If you think 20 pixels is too large then make a smaller one. You're a graphic designer after all, I'm sure you can handle it.
