NTG Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) It has been pointed out recently that some signatures seem to be way too high, and after some discussion all of the moderating team have agreed that there should a limit to the whole signature height (whole signature meaning text/quotes/image). Therefore now, your signature must be no higher than 400 pixels ("guidelines" also apply here, so it doesn't matter if it's ~20 pixels off). The rule for image size remains the same (about 550 x 300 px). We will wait until a week passes for everyone to fix their signatures, however after that we'll just start to shorten people's sigs for them (but a mod will PM you with your original signature in case you wanted to keep something). -------- * A suggestion for people with many quotes: Remove the quote boxes and just have the quotes inside speech marks. * A suggestion for people with large images: Resize them down or cut part of it out. If you don't have programs to do good resizes, then just post here (stating your desired image height) and I or someone else will do it for you. -------- You may post questions etc. Edited November 2, 2008 by NomadicTrooperGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTG Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) If you have Paint (or a simple image editor), press Print Screen on your keyboard, paste into the program, edit so only your sig is visible, and in Paint go to Image -> Attributes to see your image size. Or I guess you can just try comparing to this box (taken from Hanz): Edited November 2, 2008 by NomadicTrooperGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLSothe Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I am far too lazy to check my length, but I am confident mine's small enough. And if not...I blame Vincent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmanccl Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you have Paint (or a simple image editor), press Print Screen on your keyboard, paste into the program, edit so only your sig is visible, and in Paint go to Image -> Attributes to see your image size. Or you can just right click on the image in any browser and go to "properties." It should list the image dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) A simple way to check the dimensions of the image in your sig is to right click on it and select 'Properties'. Then look for 'Image Dimensions' and you're done. :) EDIT: Yeah, what Sandman said. xD Edited November 2, 2008 by Fireman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can just right click on the image in any browser and go to "properties." It should list the image dimensions. I know about that, but I also have text underneath the picture.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) @Sand and Fireman: That only helps if your sig only contains images. Edited November 2, 2008 by Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTG Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Mines a little bit bigger. Am I OK? I think you should remove a few of the spaces between the lines, and then it should be near enough okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 May a person have more than 4 quotes in their sig if they got rid of the quote tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¬_¬ Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Off by I'd say, 30-40 pixels. Remove the code box and some spacing and you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTG Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 @Adam: There's never been a limit on number of quotes :0. Just as long as the whole sig is not +400. @Yuri Lowell: Yep, fine. @Richter Abend: Yes, too tall. I suggest removing the spaces and the code box, as Will ^ said.

Metal Rabbit Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 @Adam: There's never been a limit on number of quotes :0. Just as long as the whole sig is not +400. There was a limit on quotes. We were only allowed a max of 4 after users were going around with like 6 at once. But I guess it's gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrion Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 As of now my sig is about 410 pixels tall. Is that a reasonable margin, or would you care for it to be shortened to exactly 400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
