I had a realy good quoted conversation in my sig and it was just a wee bit too big. Some dork deleted it and I forgot what the quote was so I couldn't retry it and make it smaller.

Maybe somehting should be set up so when someone tries to change there sig the site wont let if they go over the limit. Less work for the mods.

Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
There is a very clear warning written into the Edit Sig page. This is the warning. Most people don't have a problem with it at all. I don't see why we should have to go to any extra effort. Personally, I think having a warning written into the Edit Sig page is far better than sending a PM warning, as it's a pre-emptive thing that doesn't require us to repeat ourselves in hundreds of PM's. Now, why should we repeat ourselves in a PM? Once you come down to it, it says in the warning that the limits are...
It also states that...A maximum width of 550 pixels.
A maximum height of 250 pixels.
These include any text in the signature outside images.
Total file size of all images combined must not exceed 50 KiB (51,200 bytes).
So long as people read this, and it is their duty (not ours) to do so, there should be no problems and if they break the rules then they should expect their sig to be removed. Any reasoning we give to the removal of the sig is actually us doing that person a favour. I know this sounds harsh, but in a forum with so many members you don't want to have to send too many PM's.Any signatures not following these or any signatures with questionable or problematic content will be removed/edited by staff, and you may have your signature editing privileges temporarily disabled if this happens several times.
As for tables and whatnot, I agree with clout (God forbid!) that people who spend so much time with sigs should spend enough time to check to make sure the sig is okay. If they aren't completely sure, then they should go one step further and keep a backup. If they REALLY want to be sure, they can always ask the question in the Sig thread in Help Forum, I'm sure someone there can check to see if it's okay or not.
So yes, we can comment it out, and I will try to remember to use this from now on (although to be honest, it's not often me that edits sigs), but keep in mind that it will be doing you a favour, and if your sig does happen to get deleted with nothing but "Sig was too big." then you'll just have to take it in it's stride and make sure your next sig fits the limits.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
The limits are pretty obvious and clear and if somebody doesn't bother to check or ignores these then I don't see why a member of staff should bother sending them a PM. I see the idea, and how it might be a nice idea, but maybe a better suggestion would be for people to be more careful and make sure their signature does fit the guidelines.
If somebody isn't sure about what the whole pixel dimensions, filesize means or how to check it, maybe they can just pm a Cid's Knight first and ask them to check if it's okay before they put it in. Otherwise there's no reason why they really should have to make it bigger, if they were just being careless, and to me warning them to makes the process longer and more complicated than it needs to be.
If you're gonna take it badly everytime we don't agree with your suggestion, maybe you shouldn't suggest things anymore. You always seem to bring things up that you know our policy on hoping that this time we'll change our minds for some reason, and then take it personally when we don't.Just saying my opinion.It's like whenever I voice my opinion, I get slammed... though not really, but in a way, yes.
If that sounds harsh, I apologise. I don't mean it to be.
I'm just saying that to see if anyone feels bad. Doesn't seem like it works in the most part.
Edit:You know, don't worry about it. I'm being a bit finicky. Must be the Former Staff Syndrome.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
I think we're all too used to your shennanagins to feel bad. Haw haw... haw...?
