are we going to do anything about them at all? I managed to switch seeing people signatures off while reading the forum in my control panel, but for those of us who like a more colourful look to the forum should be impose a size limit to banners in signatures etc.. say 600x200 pixels?

which is about this size [see attachment]

some people still use 800x600 screen res haha, so it would still take up their entire screen

I think that yep, a size should definitely be imposed... but then there are exceptions like Matty (EF ECTIV) where sure it's really wide but it's still only a small image.

but then there are ones like Foz's which are just F******G huuuuuuuge haha. Maybe it'll be possible to get a feature that des an auto-resize?

well everyone should be awesome and have twin 30inch monitors with a total resolution of 5120x1600 pixels

none of this 800x600 stuff

yeah something like that size works well ben.

Yeh that size works.

I reckons its not so much length its height. Chaz's one is rediculous, i think mine isnt a bad size.

How do we police it though? just start deleting?

cant you just change some setting in the signutares and if its bigger then a set size its rejected. i know some forum have this set up and i design my one around it

start by saying that your avtar is larger than what it needs to be(insert size here) if you like we can resize it for you or you need to change it to something the best suits that resolution.

if its a sig pic or quote either either and might look at if they are a valued contributor to the site giving them a larger avtar might solve some of the dramas?

I agree. Height is the issue, more than length, and yours is a decent length. Matt's (EF ECTIV) is too long IMO (and for my screen).

Put up a sticky warning for a fortnight allowing people to change it themselves, then start removing after thsat time.

I wouldn't bother offering a resizing service to people, but help out if they ask how/can't DIY.

agreed

I missed this, but was going to bring it up at the meeting i prob still as i have a few q's about stuff for the new site and forum. (which i have to get working on again soon.

This is the only setting i have found for the signatures:

Maximum length (in bytes) for user signatures: 50000

you sure thats not maximum file size? 50000 bytes is roughly 50kb. Your signature is 32.8kb

you want dimensions in pixels i.e 800x150 etc

800x150 is a good size. I like that one.

Who is putting up the sticky?

Sorry Jais. I think you are in the minority having a screen with that bad of a resolution.

Made this up for when the new rules come into play. If it needs anything changed/added let me know. Its hosted in the perth falcons photobucket account.
