View Full Version : Too big of signatures, dammit!

For sigs.

I've noticed like 6 people with too big of sigs recently... and it is so stupid that they don't comprehend the rules.

Max sig size: 35000 bytes/600x180 pixels or approx. 5 lines of text.
OK... let me put it this way. Have a nifty, somewhat long animation that you find really funny that you want to put in your signature? Well, give up because it is most likely too damn big unless it consists of two frames of animation.

People, you know who you are. Respect the forum rules, unless you want your signature privilages taken away.

EDIT: Fixed post to Ian's remarks. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I agree, but I find it amusing that you got the sig limits wrong.

It's 35000 bytes, 180x600, no more than 5 lines of text. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Anwserman makes very nice sigs. n.n

speaking of oversized sigs, I've seen a few people put like, two or three of the psow quiz thingies in their sig at once >.>;;

yeah, but too many people don't get that it's 180 pixels tall with the lines and line breaks, that irks me sometimes >_>

OMG Kef is back!


Anyway....

I would have to agree with you, Answerman. It really annoys me when I see some huge, ugly picture that's supposed to be a sig.

You don't have to be a mod to inform people about forum rules. You have to be a mod, however, to enforce them.

But at the same time, it draws you away from more pressing things, such as keeping the site updated. Not to hijack the thread about that... if jackass posters (instaban/delete 30 threads with cheats in 'em) and other jerks stopped posting on this forum, you'd have a heck of a lot more time to do other things on this site.

And more time to do things in your *real* life too. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Yeah, my comments of the day so far.

Its not hard to make a sig that fits it tells you the size, width and height. If you use picture viewer that is.

No excuse

I saw a PHP addition that allowed you to auto-calculate the size of avatars and sigs, and remove automatically ones that were too big. It does slow down browsing sometimes, and since this site crashes quite enough i'd say we wouldn't use it.

I noticed some of the people have been here for almost a year now and then all of the sudden they start putting humongous signatures up.

Maybe this will help them out. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

It is my dream to have a sig that is EXACTLY 3500 bytes.

Just make your current sig 252 bytes bigger. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Anyway, I loathe huge, hideous, sigs. Especially when it's like a combination of "I AM A HUMAR F*** YOU WHAT CLASS R U LOL I AM LOVE RAPY GHEY I AM OLGA BLWL WTFZ"

-__-;

Small, neat, compact sigs are so much better looking.

Yeah, lots of sigs suck. I really hate it when someone will just put a picture of a car or something in their sig. Unless their screen name is something like "ima_supra," having a random picture of a car in your sig makes no sense. Aren't sigs supposed to identify/represent the poster in some way?

Oh well. At least my sig's not too big and it's not a Supra.

Err no...
