REMINDER: Image Sizes in Signatures

We previously had recommended max dimensions for images in signatures of 600px (horizontal) and 120px (vertical).

Following a complaint, and widespread non-compliance with these recommendations, these dimensions have now become mandatory.

We've decided to allow animated GIFs for now, as long as they do not exceed the maximum image dimensions given above, and are not greater than 100KB in size.

Will the following members please therefore amend their signature images to comply with the stipulated dimensions:

SWfan1155 (currently 496px × 251px)
SS4DarthPayne (currently 320px × 200px)
codester (currently 400px × 300px)
garethxxgod (currently 515px × 226px)
samlark (currently 320px × 167px)
Ell the Ewok (640px × 236px)
Rikter (578px × 150px)
VincentSmalls (219px × 136px)
greenpenguino (500px x 275px)
ChainsawAsh (235px x 300px
Stinky-Dinkins (180px x 160px, 547KB)
Harmy (200px × 195px)
nix.nux (280px × 212px)
fettip (482px × 146px)
tacky147 (400px × 300px 1022KB)
SpiffyGriff (510px × 275px
Commander Jones (500px × 160px 304KB)

Any signatures containing non-compliant images may be removed without notice.

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

You banned Janskeet, so I guess you'll have to fix him yourself. ;-)

I just put a picture in my signature, but made it as small as possible for this very reason.

Few days back. Sounds like he fed (or attacked) our pet troll and got himself eaten. Warned him not to. He was so young too!

Right, but it is a wee bit silly for literally hunreds of members to all download ad block, when the other option is to have a small handful a members lower the rez of their sig pics. Also, usually the types that are running computers/internet connections slow enough to be buggered by large picture files are also the type who'd have a hard time figuring something like AdBlock out.

I'm disappointed that only a small number of members have voluntarily amended their signatures. Does anyone actaully read these announcement threads?

Not very likely. I'd highly recommend sending out PMs, rather than just hoping they happen to pop in here and read your post.

Kind of reminds me of that bit in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where they are about to doze Arthur Dent's house, and the guy in the bulldozer tells him he has had fair warning since the plans for the new bypass had been posted at the planning agency for several months, to which Arthur replies that he searched all over the building for the plans, and eventually found them hidden down in the basement and had to use a flashlight to look at them since the lights were not working down there.

Not that this thread is that hard to find, it is just that most of us just pop in, skim a few threads, write a few posts, and pop back out, without even really thinking about checking out the announcements.

Moth3r I re-resized my signature. I had the mandatory dimensions backwards LOL. I know I am a goober.

Nice, now it looks like I was saying that this thread is damn near impossible to find, when I was saying it isn't that hard to find. You should get a job in journalism. ;)

I'm sorry Master Moth3er, I have fixed my sig. I'm good at fixing sigs. Always was :)

Anyway I was alerted to this thread this morning, but have to admit that I'm so stupid for not looking around at other threads. Well all is well now.

Not quite - your animated GIF is still 473KB in size.
