PLEASE READ!! Signature image size limit

[glc]

Folks:

We have a new set of rules you all need to review.

http://forum.pcmech.com/rules.php

It's going to affect all of you that are using the PC Mech/F@H banner in your sigs, it's now oversize as per the new rules. We really don't want to edit all of your sigs, so could whoever is now hosting these images please adjust the size to comply with the requirement?

[glc]

I just sent e-mails to Lil Jimmie and Bigandy - are there any others?

[TennBikeBerk]

Nevermind.

[bigandy]

I'm on it. I'll resize the images and reupload them, along with providing links to the new images so that those who wish to use the images can.

I'm also requesting that one, or several, other members create Photobucket accounts to help host the images. Or if you could use your own web space that would be even better. The reason is that if my photobucket account surpasses its alloted bandwidth, the images will not come through.

If you would like to host these images on your own web space, or create your own photobucket account and link to the images yourself, send me a PM and I'll email the images to you.

What about the f@h sigs like mine?

[glc]

Thank you very much, bigandy.

Blue - technically it's oversize - 468 pixels long. You can keep it for now but I can see we need to have a staff discussion.

[ComputerNut]

Yeah, i actually might drop that F@H image for now, ive been meaning to make some changes to my sig. i think its too big! ill stick with the text for now.

[lil Jimmie]

George, I hope my sig falls within the guidelines now.

[Kov-Ice]

andy, thanks for doing that. I hosted one picture at TinyPic , which is another free service Photobucket offers. The link for the bronze one is http://tinypic.com/1ga51 , in case anyone is interested in using it.

glc, I'm just curious, but did the F@H sigs prompt the signature size change, or was that in the works anyway?

[glc]

I don't know - Dris rewrote the rules after we lost the existing rules during the forum upgrade. We are discussing this specific rule right now and plan on clarifying it. It wasn't a change as much as it was a clarification anyway - it used to be up to moderator's discretion and he rewrote it to give specific guidance.

[glc]

Now that there are 3 options for the stats graphic, please use one of the ones that comply with the rules. Also, those of you that are still linking to the forum attachment for the banner, please change to one of the new downsized images that bigandy has so kindly provided.

[speeddude2000]

ok i have no clue....so it would be nice if someone could give a link to the small version of the dark blue FAH logo, thanks! but for now, ill just take it out of my sig.

Insert this into your signature:

PHP Code:

I'd like to see all sigs under 100px in height (which includes all graphics and text), this scrolling through all these signatures has gotten old. I have turned off signatures because of this and yet I miss reading some of the short witty saying some users have for their sig.

[Fastfly]

I do not know the size of my sig but I believe it is alright, it there anything wrong with it?

Lil jimmie, it could just be me but you just have a smilie face in your sig yet your sig space is pretty long.

[lil Jimmie]

I dunno Fastfly, I don't see your sig. I have sigs turned off as I stated above, but I checked my CP and all I have is the rolleye's smilie in my sig and nothing else so it might be an issue with vbulletin. I will double check my sig in few.

[bigandy]

Fastfly, your sig is 280x70, well within the rules.

As far as the space that Jimmie's sig takes up, it seems to be that with this version of vBulletin, all posts take up a certain amount of screen space (although it does vary depending on your avatar, and length of your location). So not much can be done about that. The post will still take up the same amount of space, even without a signature.
