Minifig Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Is my signature too big? If so, I'll take back off the Last.fm thingy. I'd really like to keep it though. :( Toxicfume 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sask Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think your sig is too high, my quick addition worked out to 180 pixels high, exceeding the rule of max 170. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Below are the forum guidelines for member signature images. Please note that in a lot of cases these guidelines also apply to text based signatures and avatars.The maximum overall size for signatures is 170 pixels high by 550 pixels wide - this also includes text as well. File sizes should be no larger than 75KB. Smaller is preferred as we need to be mindful of our members on dial up access. Below is an image depicting the maximum size for signatures. Are YOU overcompensating for a much smaller problem? Inappropriate content includes; * Too large, or file size exceeds recommended size. * Pornographic, violent or otherwise offensive images, language etc. This may include racist remarks, slander etc... * If the avatar/signature is overly distracting, ie. bright flashing colors, animated sigs (i.e. GIF's/Flash) * Audio. These are distracting for our members, so do not have audio in your signature. * Your signature may not advertise a competing site or alternative to Neowin, or advertise a commercial venture. Neowin has its own advertising, this is the only acceptable (commercial) advertising on Neowin. This has been an issue lately. Staff are aware of it and will take action against any offending signatures we may see. * And of course, do not contain links to, or use your signature to link to pages that contain objectionable material. This includes, warez, cracks, pornography, pyramid schemes, referral ID's, ebay listings and requesting donations. * Please do not include signature links of a malicious nature. e.g. those that crash your browser, trigger popup floods or emulate BSOD's.

Shadrack Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think most people with sigs are violating the 170px height rule. The rule states 170px height, images + text. A lot of people are bleeding past 200px. I call for some whip cracking :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azusa Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 it would be nice to have a ruler and size meter in the sig preview area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 it would be nice to have a ruler and size meter in the sig preview area. Yes, it would make following the rules a lot easier (and should be fairly easy to add) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
