Something I've found odd since I joined the site

Given the choice, I think I'd rather have smaller sigs and bigger avatars. Like this little set I made earlier for another site:

It's not the biggest deal in the world to me, anyway.

Well, in nearly all the forums I have been the avatar limit is 150x150 O.O, and sometimes a sig limit of 500x250, 700x600, or any limit in some.

The set-up of this forum is the best i've seen, the black background makes things easier to read. But it's hard to find a sig that fits the 50x250 limit. Most are always over 250x height. :(

When you have more signature than content in your posts, I think there's a problem.

You could use a smaller signature if you feel that yours is too large? But the signatures and avatars aren't really directly related; there never shall be a tradeoff for larger avas in return for smaller sigs.

Of course, you can always bribe foa or eest for an unusually sized avatar. In fact, I'll go try that right now.

I think EoFF has small sigs, generally. Or it did. The limits have gotten bigger, but it's still kinda small. But it's good, because I don't like seeing gigantic banners.

I like the Sig limits. Huge banners that take up half the damn page are annoying. :mad: Though it was a bit tricky finding an Avatar.

I wish the avatar size was a little bigger. I can't tell you how many times I've been in MS paint trying to crop down an already distorted image three more pixels because I'm over. Ugh.

Not that I'm complaining.

true that

Its a bit annoying when I have to make seperate avatars for seperate forums but Oh well ^_^
400 x 200 isnt too gigantic for a signature is it?

It's not really the smaller sig I'm interested in, so much as it is the bigger avatar. I prefer the 100x100 size. If I could make a tiny Gary the Rat avatar without it looking terrible, I'd use that smaller sig with it.


EDIT: Maybe I can. :p

The 550px width I can handle, but the 250px height can be a bit excessive. Even looking at my own I think that it's a little too big.

I'm already lobbying for a reduction is sig height limits.

i dont think the sigs are big. i always go over the limit with mine without even noticing. its really annoying having to resize it. so i think we should make those at least a little bigger in limit. the avatars i dont really care about.

Here at EoFF, we boast some of the largest and smallest phallic symbols on the internet in our sigs. Signatures such as mine really show this to be true. As far as avatars go, mine is absent on one of these right now. If you look at Boris No No's avatar, however, it looks very phallic. (i'm mentioning the one she used to use on EoFF and now uses on her LJ)
