I think you guys should lower the file size restriction with the sigs, i noticed how a lot people dont have pictures for there sig. I have no problem with the hight and width requirements but the file size always bites me in the ass.

There always has been. <3


Total file size of all images combined must not exceed 50 KB (51,200 bytes).

i dont think you understand what im saying. im saying i think you should make it so the filesize maximum is like 100k or somthin like that cause its hard to make a decent sig that fits under 50k

Umm... I've been making sigs for a while now and 50k is always more than enough ;p If your having problems sizing the image, go to the Signature thread and someone there will help you with the problem.

actually im not the one who makes my sigs, i have a friend do them but whenever i get a sig back from him they are all normally about 200k. but maybe thats just cause he makes them kinda long, i think the sig i wanted to post barly fit the hight and length limits.

Can you post the signature into this thread? Maybe someone can help you find a way to make it smaller in byte-size. :) As for it being hard to make a sig that fits within the size limits - everyone else (or at least most of them) has managed to do it just fine. My sig, along with a lot of other sigs which all look great, are all within the limits.

If he's a decent sig maker, you should be able to tell him the limits, and he'll be able to work to them without any problem like the rest of us can :p

I'm sorry, I didn't realize by "lower" you meant "raise." xD

Uhm, whatever Arche said. The rest of us don't have a problem with it, and if we raise the size limit it'll create more problems by slowing everyone down.

i decided not to use the really big sig, it didnt go to well with the FF feel in the message board. But i do have another sig that i made.......... with the paint program. i think it looks good for having been done in paint

Its too big because its a bitmap (.bmp) image. You're probably going to want a .jpeg image. :choc:

I've attached a copy that's well within the signature limits.

I have a question, is it only admins who can edit signatures and ban people? If so, hypethetically speaking, if I were to oh let's say hypethetically stick hardcore porn in my signature while no admins were online, that porn would then stay up until an admin came online, right? Hypethetically. :smash:

Check your sig. I think it answers your question.

http://www.irfanview.com/May as well ask since its here... Can IfranView change the dimensions of an image? I don't think I can with ACDSee unless I get the version for digital cameras.

Yeah, just go to Image > Resize/Resample, or hit CTRL+R

Oh well, should get in a good 20 minutes at least.

EDIT: Hypothetically. :shifty:

Make it really pixellated, so the users don't realize anything is wrong, but the parents or teachers or bosses come into the room, and BAM, hardcore pornography!


Hypothetically.
