Dear resigood,

Outspark forum moderators have implemented a signature size rule to prevent page stretching and excessive scrolling through posts. It has come to my attention that your signature exceeds the size limit.

Signatures cannot exceed 600x500 pixels. If you do not know what size your signature is, you can find out by right clicking it, and going to properties. You can refer to the announcement made by CLs.

There has been an increased amount of abnormally large sized signatures on the forums lately. Many people have been complaining about signatures stretching the page and requiring others to scroll an excessive amount just to see the next post. The signature rules have been pretty lenient in the past, but now, we've established a new rule for signatures on the forums.

From now on, the images in your signature cannot exceed 600x500 pixels.



This size does not stretch the forum, and it still allows room for some creativity. Your signatures do not have to be this size, it is recommended they be smaller. But, they absolutely cannot be any wider than 600 pixels, or any taller than 500 pixels.

If you do not know if your current signature is the right size, simply right click the image, go to properties, and the size should be shown in the box that pops up.

Remember! This rule is in effect September 22, 2008!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm going to have to ask you to resize or remove your signature. If you fail to do so, a CL will have to get it removed. Any further issues may result in account punishment.

If you have anymore questions about this issue, feel free to ask. I hope you understand the reasons behind this request.

Thanks,
dylanangel

i got this PM 23rd October 2008
saying i should change my sig size

ever since then i've seen HUGE pictures being used as signatures
and nobody has told them to change it?

im not sure many sigs are 600x500 the average desktop at low res is 800x600 so to have a sig of 600x500 is fairly big, i dont think ive ever seen any sigs that big..

Someone who didn't like you on the forum probably reported you. Or maybe you were posting anti Outspark remarks and got yourself noticed.

:3. And maybe it was just chance. <--- I say that so I don't get in trouble >.>

Here, this is 600x500 pixels. This is the largest you should be.

yeah it would have been an OS member i got one last year also as well as a couple of ppl i know, thats why i started resizing sigs i made formy self and others so that nothing would be said, but yeah i have seen alot of huge sigs about that go past it. but at same time not to bothered i can still fit in what i want at the size i have it at now, still lots of space to work with :)

dylanangel is a CL. Not exactly staff, but a volunteer given authority by OS.

What annoys me isn't the bigger images, its the text that often goes along with them.
Say for example someone who has a 400x400 siggy pic, then has another 500 pixels in height worth of text.

I see no reason to have an image over 400 pixels high anyways, there is more than enough room to fit anything you want in with a little resizing. Mines only 257x300 and I got everything I wanted to say in, with no additional text.
