Signature Rules

[icerefjm1]

Due to ever increasing issues with the Signature File Area and after much discussion & consideration, Admin and the Mods have decided to add the following Wiziwig forum rule:

9. The total Signature Area can be no larger than 800px X 250px in size. This includes all images, banners & text/links combined.
(The ideal banner size is 500px X 200px & the smaller userbars are preferred.) The total combined filesize for all images is 250 KB.

Image files well over 1MB in size were causing major disruptions in page loading, especially in busy daily threads, so this new rule will benefit all of us. The total signature area has also gone well beyond it's intended size. Help us continue making this the worlds best sports forum by taking a few moments to edit your signature files as necessary. Please add up the total KB of all images in your signature file & make sure they do not exceed the 250KB limit in total. Next, measure the box below on your monitor & make sure your entire signature area fits inside of it. By the way, do not change your resolution to 800x600, measure the box, then change it back to like 1280x1024 to see if it fits ... we WILL know if you cheated.



Thanks in advance from Admin & the Wiziwig mod team for your cooperation.

LOL. No need for that. Just created this thread for constructive feedback. First rule change/addition in a long time.

[tafftog]

ah well,its back to my three celtic dogs chasing tails sig then. nps btw.

i dont think mine is too big but if it gets too big will a mod admin or someone leave me know cheers dart180

I dropped a hint in the bar... mine wasn't over.. not quite, but it looked a mess so I tidied it up.

About time IMO, it's a bloody nuisance trying to read a thread and some attention seekers have huge Signatures with pictures & words, i noticed one before which was some story just copy & pasted.......................WHY

To many sites & especially forums are turning into Myspace type layouts, never understood why a grown man has a big picture of a Football player.

As i say it was/is annoying

[pistons4ever]

That's a good new rule! Thumbs up!

[Umutk]

Is mine acceptable, or would I have to remove everything but the sig itself (which is 500x200 if I'm correct)?

[juliadream]

you have 50 px spare at the bottom.. so.. I would say it's ok.. by about 2px with text set to 12 like it normally is on 1280x1024
If in doubt scrap one of the empty lines between the pic and the text

I remember when t'internet had rules like.. 2k pic and 4k text (including links) .. how times have changed.. alta vista was the most used search engine... and netscape the most common browser....

(I used dogpile and dillo.. and those are still out there.. in fact the ol dogpile doesn't ever return "item removed from results for dmca" shite like google now does.. so screw google.. game over!!

remember.. you can get a big mac just about everywhere... does that make it a good meal option?

[icerefjm1]

Yeah, your looking good. Image size is 226KB, under the limit & I was going to offer you a shortened hyperlink, but when I clicked on it, I got:
vBulletin Message

Invalid Group specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

[Umutk]

Ehh, guess all the social groups got removed when the software was updated, not that I was really active over there anyway, so I'll just remove it then.

(Btw, can see the thanks and report buttons on the bottom post of the page atm . Oh, and thanks for telling me I look good!! )

[eatmyfootball]

Yeah! Listen up ego/meglomaniacs!!!

yes sometimes people are not very nice. good rule

[Umutk]

If you ask me (I know you're not, but I'll throw in my 2 cents anyway ), ban video in the sigs alltogether. I mean they're nice and all, but can get a little annoying to look at the same video 20 times in one match thread .

I agree with you there they are a pain in the ass...
