Title: Signatures
Post by: mrfredman on April 05, 2009, 04:14:29 pm
I'm tired of huge images in signatures and I've installed a forum mod that can limit the size of them. I haven't quite decided on a good max size though, so I'm taking suggestions.

Thoughts? I'm kinda thinking of allowing 3 300x200 images. The thing that bothers me is the height, I hate all the additional scrolling. Feel free to vent or complain or whatever you need to do, but really I'd just like some constructive suggestions.

I'll probably implement this tonight, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up before I went and did anything.

Current signature settings:
You have 6 lines with a character limit of 500.  Image limit is 3 pictures each with max dimensions of 150 x 500 (h x w).

I really like this, but I too am unsure of the height.  Trial and error will probably suffice.

I say, isn't there a way to shrink the images rather than to put a limit to which can fit in there?

awesome suggestion time:

400-500 should be high enough imo. dun care for width since it doesn't stretch the forum anyways.
image number shouldn't be limited, just the max size of the sig.

I like this size:

I'm thinking I'll round up to 150px for height and then 500px width...

That looks like it'll work.

The signature image apocalypse is upon us, the forum software should be busy deleting all your huge signatures. Sorry.

If you feel the need to grieve or vent, this is the place to do it. Otherwise, its time to go about making some smaller sigs.

EDIT: Oh that was thoughtfull, it just shrank all your huge signatures down. Lucky you!

Note: Don't become too nazi over signatures

Desktop size isn't great but I've been at forums where they treated everyone like dialup customers

I think [200-250]x[650 to 720, somewhere in there] might be a good idea. It's just about the same as the post length on a 1024x768 monitor.

I seem to have ruined a fair number of sigs by limiting the amount of lines to 1. That seemed a tad excessive and destructive, so we are going up to two. Also, we'll be sticking with this image size.

They're starting to get ridiculously large. Can we get restrictions?

I don't think the width matters as long as it doesn't extend the pages sideways, right?
Height I guess 200 is right.

Image height I don't care so much now.

But two lines? Draconian.

I wish I could at least put more quotes in my signature, but it's pretty impossible to do even JUST ONE when it's only two lines.

I'm not asking for enough to fit Shakespeare's entire work, but 20 would be excellent, with ten being at least nice. Five would be better but ultimately still feel crowded at some point.

You, sir, are making fun of a legitimate request. I don't see you posting an epic story about good clashing against evil in a humorous way ALL IN YOUR SIG. Pardon the rest of us for choosing NOT to image-spam and trying to be creative in a DIFFERENT way.

Plus some IRC quotes get downright heeee-larius.

So, useless one line quotes are not being stopped, no. Epic length quotes nobody reads anyways (and sometimes wouldn't matter :hehe:) are being deterred.

Did you know I've been called Shakespeare for the last two years? My old form teacher back in school had it on the damn register.

Update to signatures:
You can now have 6 lines with a character limit of 500.  Image limit stays the same at 3 pictures each with max dimensions of 150 x 500 (h x w). 

So go ahead and update your sigs to something much nicer, that means you Doc.
