Signature image size

[neurotix]

So I just made a signature image for damric, and was limited to 450x90px I think. His is still showing up but, when I went to look today, it now says sig images are limited to 250x90 or something like that.

 

Can we have 450x150 or 450x125? I'm thinking of offering to do custom avatars and sig images for people possibly, since I really enjoy graphic design. 250x90 or whatever it is now is tiny and especially 90px height is very constraining. I understand probably that these images could take up too much space on the server, or maybe be too distracting when there's also text in the sig etc. Making the signature too much especially if people have rig viewing on (I turned it off personally)

 

Can something be done about this and we can come to a compromise on a larger size?

I will take this into consideration and look into it after the completion of some other item's on the go.

Actually, I was wrong in what I said. Images are limited to 250x60. I sure hope no one is on dial up and using this site in 2023.

 

500x125 or something would be adequate.

Adequate, but its a fine balance and nothing to do with bandwidth.  Having a large signature image/area may pose an issue when combined with other site elements such as Rigs and User Awards. It can mean that a single posts height increases to a point of detrimental affect, especially on Mobile devices. Im hesitant to go mad in this area.

Well, it was recently changed from 450x90 to 250x60. I understand the mobile issue as I use mobile a lot, but turn rig viewing off. Even just putting it back to 450x90 or possibly 450x100 or 110 would allow more space and shouldn't be too intrusive.. but the decision is not mine. I'd love to make a sig image for myself but 250x60 is like, nothing. No point.

 

Sorry to trouble you on this.

Certainly happy to look into it, just stating what I take into consideration as I have to take into account other factors

I like this idea, as long as a size restriction is definitely put in and a reasonable size. The other site did this while on vbulletin and we could have signature images that were up to (tested) 50,000 pixels long. Someone had a very long lamp in their signature.

After looking into this some more today, I have upped the height of the signatures for standard members from 60 to 90. 

 

The signature sizes are different for premium users which have also been adjusted. These can be found on the subscriptions page.

 

Thanks,
