Go to Imageshack, upload the image on that page, and copy the text in the "Hotlink for forums (2)" box.
Then come here and click the "Profile" button, scroll down to Signature and paste the text into that box. You can also change your Location on that Profile screen. Scoll to the bottom and click Submit.

This is not a quote, its just me posting wrote:

Yeah I'm not a big fan, but it's not my place to make the decision. I beleive that it should be at the mods descretion. If they see someone with a sig too big, just tell them..

Damn isn't a bad word. I don't even know why we're talking about this. Either stay on-topic or don't post. Thank you.

Damn isn't a bad word here? Huh. News to me.

To get back on toastpaint, anyone who needs a banner resizing can come to me. I can change regular banners (no animated ones, though) to any size you want. Pachow.

I'll be aboe to help out with that too. Or if all else faikls, ask the banner and Avatar force to resize your sig.

Banners are annoying, and anyone who uses one is a mook.

Unless they have Batgirl on them. Then they're okay.

MOOKS UNITE!

Don't want to go off-topic, but I want to point out that we are experiencing the same problem in the Fanstuff Wiki. See?

Back on topic: I'm happy you're getting more strict with these. Solid limits were needed.

MostlyConfused · **Posted:** Wed Jun 15, 2005 2:38 am

I think limiting the signature size is a good idea. Anything bigger than the allowed size would get annoying after a while, especially for people who post often. Plus, it's nice for dial up users like me....I had no trouble making a small banner, and I am computer impaired when it comes to making stuff (mine was a ms paint job). :mrgreen:

It did... believe me. There were some sigs and banners that literally took up 3/4 of the screen.. It got outta hand. I can only imagine what kinda pain in the butt it would have been for me had I still been stuck with dial-up.

Phlip · **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2005 3:50 am

For those of you who are still confused about the limits, I've whipped up a quick Signature Checker. The box is exactly 500x100. If you can get your entire
signature (images, text and all) to fit in the box, it is ok. If you cannot it is not. (You still have to check the filesizes yourself).
If you have a long text line that won't fit in the box, shrink your browser window a bit so the text wraps on to the next line. If you can adjust it like that to get it to fit, then it is all ok.

Don't resize your browser window. This will make it so your sig will be oversized on other peoples comps. Instead hit the enter key when you get to about 500px to continue the text on the next line.

Phlip · **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2005 12:42 pm

I don't know about you, but I know I'd prefer a signature to have a long text line that reached the full width of the browser window, but was still within the 100px hight when wrapped to 500px wide, to a signature that had hard line-breaks in it.

Or maybe you like people to type
all their messages with line-breaks
in them, like this? I know I don't. But
that's just me.

Dear Everyone,

I don't know what's up with everyone changing their sigs over the weekend so that they're too big, but please don't try to get away with it. Stick to the rules, please. If your sigs aren't changed to fit the limits, they might be removed altogether. And no one wants that, not even me, believe it or not.

StrongRad · **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2005 1:56 pm

Here's a question. If you have no graphics or banners in your sig, just text, and it doesn't say "your signature is too large" when you hit the "submit" button to change your profile, is it ok to assume it isn't too big?
I got a feeling that the answer is yes, but, ya know, I just wanted to check.

breadtangle o' pizza · **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2005 2:14 pm

For the text, it's a character limit, but that doesn't check the 500-pixel height limit.

The answer is definitely no.

Always refer to the 500x100 guide.

I think the only exception for width should be quote boxes. There's nothing we can do to stop them from stretching across the whole page, even when there's only one word that's been quoted.

Agreed. And quote boxes don't stretch the page horizontally.

Unless someone quotes a really long word that doesn't wrap. That should be against the rules.

Here's a mod I found that limits signature rows.
