Signature sizes...

HotRodMatt · 2005-06-17T02:39:02+00:00

Does anyone else think these are getting out of control? Some of these things are 300, 400, 500 pixels high! Look at the screen cap below. Names and text blacked out and signatures covered. Seriously a full screen and there's one line of text and the rest is signatures... It's not just banners either. There are signatures getting around that have 10+ lines of text. Avatar sizes are limited how about a max height of say 100 pixels for sigs?

great idea is this possible cause i liked the sigs

I don't really mind if there is images allowed in sigs or not, but saying that "they take up too much space" or "it's so cluttered" is not a valid argument.

I can fill my sig up with random garbage text and it will be far worse than a 60 pixel high image.

It might be wiser in my opinion to limit the size of your signature, both file size and screen size.

On another note, I find it quite interesting that members of the forum who have a business advertise said business in their sigs and avatars. There is an advertiment banner at the top of every page on the forum. Isn't that where advertisment belongs?

I'm not trying to disrespect anyone or cause problems as there is enough of them already. I guess you just can't please all the people all the time.

I just think its unfair that some people (eg volksfolks) have nice siglines but I dont, and I dont have the graphics software or knowledge to be able to have one 🙂

Incidently, they seemed to come back the very moment I updated my sig line to remove mine. Now that was nasty :P

Volksfolks' is a good size. It's there but doesn't fill the screen.

it all a conspiracy, huh, amazer.

i reckon that since avatars are not meant to be bigger than 100pixels square, and they big enough, sig photos don't need to be more than 100pixels high. that's more than enough room to get your message across.

Absolutely, but I dont blame the president. How can a man unable to tie his own shoelaces have a grasp of anything so sophisticated as a signature file.

Now Matt is really pissing me off, cos I have got no idea how to make a moving gif.

I noticed my BB code wasn't working in my sig, so I turned it back on. Then I looked for a reason why it was turned off and found this post. So I turned it off again.
