Is this sig satisfactory?

Basq

Due to one or two complaints i got regarding an animated gif in my signature, i changed it!

Is this sig satisfactory? A bit big?

Your not supposed to have both text and image, but most people do.... (Me included)

For text signatures: 4 lines normal size OR 8 lines small size, and up to 90 chars per line. Font sizes above 2 are not allowed. Do not use the [These tags removed to stop my post buggering up] [these tags removed to stop my post buggering up] tags.

For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size. No animated images are allowed.

So the text is withinh the limits for a text sig, but the image is a little too big for an image sig.

Basq

Changed the image size.... now it just looks weird!

It's a bit big alright
Tip: use the [size] tags around that text to make it smaller, try size=1.
Example: {size=1}Text here{/size} ( replace {} with [] )

Less is more.

Also I think a good idea would be to have the sig rules clearly visable in the same control panel page that you actually edit your sig in... there seems to be some confusion still.

I definantely agree with you there... didn't realise it was against the rules to have animated gif's in your sig til i got some negative rep about it.

Basq

Now, that sig should be alright...

The one you're using now is no bigger than any of the other sigs I've seen around.
If it's still too big, you could use something like the attached pic. Although technically it's too wide and breaks the sig rules :rolleyes: but something along those lines.

Cheers SantaHoe, might just use that! Thanks again!

Was thinking of some way to have the text alongside the picture like that.

Almost all my other sigs surpass 300px wide, to about 400px (all had a height of about 90px), I used to have em no problem, but the rules tightened up about a year ago.

It'll undoubtedly be removed.

I personally don't see any problem with it. It does not push his message off the screen to the right like some that I have seen

It is below the 20kb limit.

and its not too tall either. It is roughly the same size as one of the banner adverts.
