Signature Image Size

[pendragon1998]

Hi everyone,

 

I've noticed a few newer members (and some older ones) have some big honkin' images in their signatures. We all enjoy seeing your creativity and coins, but I'd like to kindly remind those of you who don't know (or forgot) the board's policy on signature image size (from the FAQ):

 

Is there a limit to signature image size?

We ask that you keep your images relatively small. As a rule, please do not exceed 125 x 600 pixels and/or 35k for a signature image. This will ensure that the forums load quickly for all users.

Michael, in all seriousness, if you think mine is too big, I'll sell the Kennedy Mint Error................................................................ but the train and the tribute to my Mom & Dad stay.

I don’t care nearly as much about size in a signature lines as I do about animated gifs. I find those distracting and annoying.

[pendragon1998]

Naw, Chris - considering I already made you change it once, I don't think I could complain. I honestly wasn't thinking of yours when I wrote the original post.

 

I did,however play around with your sig images and combine them into one, which you're welcome to use if you like. I thought you might like a change.

Small signatures are generally a good idea. Regardless, this is always an option:

 

Do you want to view other user's signatures with their posts

Yes No

[TomB]

Arch, would that option apply to all users uniformly, or could we customize it on a per-user basis? I would definitely customize it to avoid seeing the animated siglines, which I consider distracting.

That is why I removed my animated spider, it seemed distracting to me.

I think Tom and I are both tired of the jumping monkeys!!!

Yeah this ain’t romper room.

Michael, that looks much, much better, but I am a doofus when it comes to changing these things. What would I have to do?

I certainly don’t want to criticize any ones style, but I am willing to comply with what ever the administrator recommends.

Yes No (Doesn't bother me)

Chris,

 

1) Click on "My Home" at the top of the screen

2) Under Main Configuration >> Personal Information, email, etc.., click "edit"

3) Scroll down to the "signature" box

4) Insert "<image]http://boards.collectors-society.com/attachments//1425198-chris_sig.jpg[/image>" where you want the image to go

 

(BUT YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE '<' to a '[' and the '>' to a ']' - I just put the <>'s in so the code would display for you to see it in this post)

 

Delete the other two image tags from your old photos

 

5) Click 'Preview' to see if it looks right. A new window or tab will open to show you your new sig.

 

6) Important: When you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'submit'

 

You should be done!

Well, that would block everything. Although if you have firefox you can install AdBlock and block individual images by right-clicking them. That's not a board feature, though.

[zrlevin]

Arch, how do I install that?

Don't dog the monkeys!!! And the 9/11 flag stays no matter what.

[Architecht]

Arch, how do I install that?

Download the file, drag it on top of a firefox window, and install.

Here comes the forum moderator after your munkeys

Don't get me wrong - I've nothing against remembering 9/11 - but perhaps a non-animated image?

Thanks Arch! Bye-bye Monkeys!

[WinstonWare]

Chad, do you think we could at least get some photos of monkeys? I don’t want to turn my signatures off, many people have worked hard on their signature sets or websites and I enjoy seeing those. The animated monkeys are a bit of a distraction.

Chris, I've considered tweeking your sigline myself but I like the way Pendragon made the NGC slab match the Reno train.

 

Very classy!

Get the Adblock that Arch reccomended. As far as I know, Chad doesn't have a sig line.

[pendragon1998]

Or simply petition Arch to ban animated sig images. Anyone that defies that gets warnings and or bans for non-compliance.

How about this compromise, Chad?

Ah, so that means my sig pic is a hundred pixels too tall...

 

Let me go see if I can remedy that.

Beat you to it! Most of it was just black space on the top and bottom.

Thanks. I like the ratio with the black space, so I just resized mine the way it was.
