In the past we've had to disable peoples sig block pics because they were out of hand, so this will be straight forward guidance so that we all know exactly what is acceptable since it's not outlined in our rules.

900px LONG x 250px HIGH and anything smaller than both of those dimensions, is considered acceptable.

Anything larger will be reported and disabled.


For Example: 900 x 200 GOOD - 500 x 250 GOOD - 700 x 260 FAIL - 910 x 200 FAIL - 950 x 300 EPIC FAIL

Now, if you have more than one image, as long as both, either side by side or stacked, still fall within the constraints listed above, are considered acceptable.

Also, due to the amount of quotes running around in sig blocks, please keep them limited to 1 if you have an image (and no other text allowed) and no more than 2 if you have no images.

If you have unquoted text along with an image, please keep it limited to 2 lines as well.

If you have only text and no image, please keep it too 6 lines total. These quotes or text lines are to be in Normal size font or smaller.

These sizes were agreed on long ago by the Admin/Mod team, however, we never got around to posting them. And due to the recent influx of sigs that are over said limits, I feel it necessary to post them up.

My sig is kinda big, but I've seen some huge ones on here lately, and the scrolling one was driving me nuts.

Your image is fine. Just lose two lines of text.

Very clever indeed. I didn't realize that the text was actually a picture.

Pretty sure this was meant for me... srry.

Now 250x539 and no text (except for whats included in the image, and Motortopia adds their own stilly water mark).

Reading above requirements I think I am now in compliance, please let me know if I need to do anything else.

I plead ignorance. :(

That was the big problem. We had a few pics that were upwards of 500px tall and a few that had lots of stacked text.

When you consider the average (most used) computer resolution is 1024x768, that's a serious chunk of the screen devoted to somebody's personal pic. Yes, you have the option not to display sigs under the UserCP, but I like people's sigs and use alot of them to identify people quickly.

And actually Mater is a test subject, unknowingly of course.

His sig block is 2 images side by side that total 845 px, which breaks our new guidelines. However, his height is only 199px and his sig block looks very conservative and clean now imo.

Because of this, I would like to extend our max length of images (or combined images) to 900 px because I don't see this causing an issue with anybody's browser (no extra side scrolling required).

That would make our max size 900px long X 250px high. I would like some feedback though before I go changing the guidelines already.

Otherwise, we'll have to hunt Mater down with pitchforks and torches and make him change his sig again, lol!

Was an outdated pic and haven't yet chosen/made a new one, and getting a bit fed up with all the crap going around lately so decided to wipe it clean. :lol:
