Once again there has been some complaints over the size of signatures.
Would you all please stick to the guidelines as set out HERE (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12891&highlight=signature+size)
Please remember that the tolerances for signature sizes are: 400 (w) x 100(h) pixels max, and a file size no greater than 22kb (That also includes any text you have under your signature).
For the sake of those people trying to read the forums on laptops, tablets or phones, please stick to it.
Thanks

Bumpity Bump.
They're-a sneaking up in size again fellas. Please keep them in line with the above guidelines.
Yes, I know I am the self-appointed forum signature Nazi and make no apologies about it. :boxing:
Thank you for reading
PEN
Out of interest is this just the image size, what about having reams of text within the signature area?
For example, Pens signature area is 92 pixels in height. Mine is probably more.
I think mine is ok but if you could have a look and advise I would appreciate it :D

Absolutely fine jabbs
Seems the more pr0 and l33t you are, the smaller your um thingy...you know?

Good point.
Uhm... I'm no.. well, lets face it, I'm no computer geek like Oth who decides to remotely reboot my computer last night when we were playing on MH and I was thinking: hm, I seem to have a virus going :ranting2:
So, are/am/is my signature too big? If so, can someone please in a kind and gentle way let me know? (I'm so sensitive. NOT!)
urs is 400*140 wich is fine in lenght, but in hight it is to big, cuz it should be 75 (lil higher then mine, which is 70)

Cheers BB :thumbsup:
I have changed my sig to represent what is currently happening on the servers, but its looking a little on the big side (again :doh:) but not on the same kind of format as before, is this going to cause any problems ?
I don't think you need to include the text above each image. The icon on the left tells you the game type and most people on the forum will know the server by the name.
I think this thread needs a big BUMP.
I still see some large signatures popping up again lately.
Even my text should be removed but some people's sig are 3 times as high.
I do pull people up on it when I see their big sigs.
I normally get a snooty pm back in return but people tend to take notice.
Send me a PM with the culprits and I'll take it in hand. Now I've told people to change them I think it's important to continue to do so.

Had a chat with TL, allready PM'd a few people and hopefully they'll take it as a hint.
I may have been to the pub, and this idea may be way out there....
If everyone just looked and thought, 'ooh, my signature is a bit large and stands out too much, I better make it more subtle and bandwidth friendly' then we wouldn't need the PM's or rules.
Gents and Ladies, check your sigs, if they are bigger than other peoples tone them down, if not great. It's sometimes referred to as growing up and having some kind of common sense application abilities.
If everyone tries to make their sigs smaller than everybody elses then we should be OK.
Lets have a competition on who's got the smallest one! :dribble:
What if I make a huge sig made up of multiple 1 pixel images? :D

I'd stop your pocket money and no internet after 10 pm.
Doh! That won't work ... you've left home :)

We will buy you a 1 pixel monitor to view it on :devil:

The text that you have entered is too long (3318640 characters). Please shorten it to 20000 characters long. :roflmao:
Can I have my tiny moniter now?
Bumpity Bump.
Once again, they're-a sneaking up in size again fellas. Please keep them in line with the above guidelines.
As more and more people read these forums from tablets or phones, it is becoming increasingly important to keep signature sizes down.
If you have multiple images in your signature then please run them side by side rather than on top of each other.
Thanks
PEN
For some reason mine went quite big, hopefully its okay now!

Well yours was one of the ones I noticed tbh :-)
Wow almost five years....
Anyway, another bump about signatures. They're creeping up guys and girls. Please have a look at the first post in this thread and check your within the guidelines.
This also goes for avatar's. Some avatar's are becoming larger and longer making the post box huge. Please check them and rein them in.
What is the size limit RE: avatars?
Probably mine is too big, please do tell if it is I can try to work out how to shrink it down haha :woot2:
I think it was a couple of releases back that allowed VB to make avatars as large as needed.
I'ts more the length of avatars than with width I think. Mine, too, is too large. I think we'll have a look and see if we can restrict them. The issue is that avatars, coupled with the badges makes each post field size mahoosive if you're trying to read a thread on a phone.

Er... the default one I have is a community one. It's over the 400 (it's 692) width. I removed my previous one as it pushed it over the limit. I never thought to check the community one.

Bumpity Bump guys.
Some avatars and signatures have gone seriously steroidy recently.
PLEASE bear in mind that people read these forums on phones and tablets and much as they love you they don't want half a screen filled with your signature or avatar every time you post.
Have a look at your avatar and your signature and think, a. does it fall into the guidelines at the top of this thread and b. am I really that insecure that I need to splash a massive avatar in everyone's face so they remember who I am.
Thanks.
