You're actually quite a way over the sig limit already - which is 700x200 pixels & 54kb maximum in total (ie. including text). You might want to shrink the pictures down, or hide them in spoiler tags, before a mod comes along with the scissors of doom.

I thought i was over the limit so i took off little stargates its cool now? Never mind im gonna go to ask a mod if its ok.

Well, the image is 700x180, which would mean you only had 20pix of height to play with with the text, so it's still probably slightly too big.


I'd maybe suggest shrinking the top links down to Size 1, and putting the link as the text.

i.e:

----Your Complete Guide to Stargate!----
----The Greatest Forum this Side of the Milky Way!----

Or, ... do you really need links to the homepage and forum on your sig ... I mean, they're here already, and there's a link to the hompage on every forum page?

I don't need it but it looks nice. I didn't want my sig to just be a picture I think the links look cool. And theres really only one person I care that likes it, and thats me. ...and maybe mods so they don't say its too big.

i believe, smurf, that when you say "54kb" you actually mean "50kb".

I think I probably don't mean 54kb, because that is 54 kilobits and that's teeny.
I may mean 53.7KB, which is what it now says on the sig upload section of "Edit signature", but it also now says 700x180 pixels, so I'm going stroke my imaginary goatie beard over that.

Hmm, interesting...

sorry about that. i dislike capitalization; sometimes i forget when must (on the flip side, you did say "kb"). but the rules and the sig clarification still say 50K(B) and 700x200. (actually, it says 200x700 and "200 pixels tall by 700 pixels wide". but we'll ignore that.)

This is why I have Sigs and Avatars turned of ...

BTW. You don't own threads so you can say, "My threads" as you don't own them, they are not your. You only made them ... What's the point of advertising them anyway? Are you going to add to the list every time you made a new thread? Goodness I hope not

Oh no, confusion reigns!
I think we should go for the midway point, and start telling new posters that the rules are 700x190 and 51.85KB.

alternately, we could tell new posters the actual rules of 200X700 and 50kb instead

[smurf]

Meh, you're no fun.

I wonder why the upload signature section is set on 700x180 pixels, and 53.7KB. Odd numbers.

Adrianne

You're right! Let me take off my entire sig because Adriannep thinks its irrelevant to put up the threads I made on it! (sarcastic)

[ACharmedAsgard]

Right calm down - this thread is about helping people - not arguing. The limit is discussion and we don't want people who need help being scared off.

We don't?

Ok I was presumptious

Some of us don't want to scare people who need help being scared off
