coffee break anyone? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 508 Member No.: 15,978 Joined: Feb 17th 2006 Location: Palmdale, CA | Since this is the signature thread, i hope you dont mind me using this to help me make my signature. allow me to explain. I made the attatched image on my computer with a very unique name. i'll post it here, just like this. i will then go on a search engine and look for its exact name, find it, open it up in a new window, and put the link to that window in the "signature" window in "my controls." Phew! Edit:Hmmm... it did not work. I shall think about this This post has been edited by Perry on Mar 21 2006, 04:16 PM |

However, if you do see a red line across your sig, please reduce the number of line of text in your sig or shrink down the dimension/size of the image(s) you have in the signature. Hope that clears up. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,840 Member No.: 25,374 Joined: Jul 18th 2007 Location: Southern California | So my signature got removed... why? While I suppose the file size itself was somewhat large, it wasn't uploaded through the forum but through another site but just linked to it, so I don't see what the problem is. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,217 Member No.: 5,199 Joined: Jan 22nd 2005 Location: Melbourne, Australia | the max. size limit for signature is 150KB. yours is 2826KB. nobody wants to load an extra 2MB of data just for a single person's signature.

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,840 Member No.: 25,374 Joined: Jul 18th 2007 Location: Southern California | ^ Perhaps... but at the same time, I'd like to think that the main purpose of it was so that the forum's database doesn't get overloaded with massive signatures from each and every member. Like I said, it was uploaded through another site and isn't using up the site's resources. Maybe nobody wants to load an extra 2MB, but that amount of space is literally just a few grains of sand if you own a computer that is less than ten years old. Plus it seemed like other posters were digging the image anyway |

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | It was funny. But it's not so funny when you're loading a page and you have to wait a bunch of extra time just because of one person's sig. The real point of having a filesize limit on sigs isn't because of loading on IDW's server, it's because this is a message board which should load quickly for its users. When someone's sig is 2MB, that gets shot out the window. |

Like an eagle! Group: SITE OWNER Posts: 8,014 Member No.: 1 Joined: Sep 15th 2002 Location: San Leandro, California | Usually, we are not too strict on filesize limit when it comes to the signature rules. 200KB, 250KB, .. etc, we can let you slide if you really want that. However, nearly 3MB gif animation is just a no no. Some people are still using dial-up (believe it or not) and some people just don't know how to take care of their new computers, a large gif file like that will lag their computers like no tomorrow. |

yeah, i saw it and i thought it was pretty cool. with a bit more compression, you could probably take it down to a nicer size but probably still not enough to be "acceptable" as a forum signature. speaking of which, just say i was to post DeeezNuuuts' removed signature in a post somewhere as an image. are there any rules regarding the filesize/resolution of an image added to a post?

Depends on where you are. The only place where you could post that image and it wouldn't be spam would be in the Art section, which has a guideline for filesizes and resolutions right on the top of the forum. | ||

IDW Top Poster Group: Advanced Members Posts: 33,844 Member No.: 3,524 Joined: Oct 2nd 2004 Location: Update Profile | What people tend to forget is that the extra 2MB to load, is not only 2 MB. People need to stop thinking only for themselves, and need to start looking at the whole picture. Because someone's extra 2MB in his sig could be everyone's extra 2MB in their sig. 50 posts per page * 2MB = 100MB only for sigs alone. |

Relax, I'm not whining about it or arguing against the rules, I just wanted clarification regarding what happened and why. | ||
