Images in Signatures

cgilmo · Aug 27, 2012

Hey Guys

We simply have to do something about signatures on this website.

Some of them are just way too long and have images that are way too big. I ask you to please shorten your signatures by not having an image in it larger than 200 pixels tall. The width of the image would need to be below 800 as well just to accomidate people with low resolution settings and small monitors. The goal is to make this a good user experience for everyone, and I appreciate your cooperation.

Signatures will be moderated starting in the next few days.

I am too dumb to figure out what mine is, is mine too big?

^ Right click image, select properties...

cgilmo · Aug 27, 2012

yours is 277 pixels tall. It needs to be a bit shorter

yours is
475px by 150px
So the first number I see is the width and the second one is the height. Am I correct on this?
Man some of the peoples signatures are going to be distorted when they re-due them

Chris,

Since not everyone thinks in DPI, I suggest your limits be 216 H (which is equivalent to 3" at 72DPI), by 792 W. That way, you can tell everyone that sigs need to be 3" Tall by 11" Wide at 72DPI, or 216x792 pixels. Non designers might find the 3"x11" guideline easier to follow. It keeps the height down, which is usually the main annoyance with sigs, and is a manageable width for most screens.

Why do we need the ebay thingee at the top of the screen and after the first post in a thread. Seems like overkill. Am I the only one seeing that?

That's gonna be more annoying than a slightly larger image in a sig.

Because I need to pay my bills.

Thank goodness for Ad Block Pro and StyleBot (to change the background color, and get rid of the floating bar)!

I love the eBay thing at the top. and I click on a bunch of what is up there. I have even bought about 10 things that way. :lol:

I understand the one at the top.... but the same one after the first post? Cant it be something different?

that is probably not it's permanent home. The goal is to move it to the center of a thread page so that ebay ads are in view most of the time.

Keep in mind that we can't have this place without those ads. I also think we have less ad space than any forum out there that runs ads. Most are cluttered all to hell, this one will never get that way.

I HATE the floating bar. What script did you use to get rid of it?
