SIGPO - Notify

Raphael · 2005-05-05 17:09:20

(from post 4384) SigPo and fans, thank you for your valued, dedicated, and diligent help in promoting signature awareness throughout all these fantastic years we have been together. I must now close this long held tradition in favour of a sleeker, quieter, and dirty laundryless SigPo 2.0. This M3GA-Thread has now been…

is my sig okay? i was intending on changing it in the near future, but i can't reduce the size of the one below as it mucks up the resolution and it would be an insult to the great artist Gauguin.
my picture is only like 10pixels above the recoomended height but it's also alot less wide then the recommended pixel width (so i can compensate pixel height for width), btw it's only 6kb so it's hardly a huge file slowing people's computer's down.

Your image is 149 pixels tall, exceeding the height limit by 24 pixels. Also you have text below your image which a) is not allowed and b) makes the whole sig even more tall.

All signatures should not exceed the following size limits, and you can't have both text and images.

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

what's the point in having a painting up if you don't know who it's by, it's in the smallest text size i could get, it could be by any artist.
you seem to be making a big fuss of the tinest infringements Snowball, as i said im compensating height for width, if people are really bothered by the 20pixels post up here, ill be changing it in the next few days like i planned to do anyhow as and when i get some free time but i think you would be better suited to pming the real offenders rather then me.

You could link the IMG to a page about Gauguin (WiKi perhaps?) *shrug* it's fine as is IMHO.
Snob..snowb.. The aim of this thread was really to help get rid of some of the biggest offenders, not to catch out everyone because they didn't follow guidelines exactly..If a sig being a few px over-weight is genuinely annoying you perhaps you might turn off sigs in your profile?

I'm not changing my sig because it's from sloganizer and loads of other user have sigs from sloganizer. And I've also had this sig for a month and you're the first to complain.

Is it me, or is Snowboat a snitch?

Over the past 24 hours, he's reporting sigs that are only even just a few pixels too big. I think he's being a bit unfair and is drunk from his power.

Raphael: Can you please update the first post in the thread to clearly define what should be reported here. At the moment it indicates all. Vexorg's 'Slightly' is very subjective. For instance, I consider http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=28947 to be 'slightly' but the ones I put up here to be 'quite a bit'.

seriously what are you? There are im sure bigger sigs and animated ones out there.
And i havnt seen you around, so i get the feeling that we were all happy and grand untill you decided to come along and spoil things.
My sig has been in lots of various forums around boards, and if it was such a bother my sig would off being reported months ago.

Also snowbat go here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions
and untick the box show signatures.
it might help you have a better browsing experience
