Hi all,
We have noticed a number of signatures are becoming enormous and for people on slower connections it's selfish having to load up a load of images when all they want to do is read some text. So as for now signatures which are inexplicably big will be removed with no prior warning, if replaced a temporary/permanent ban maybe enforced. New sig rules will come into place on the release of V2, this will help people know what can be in the sig and what can't, what size etc. There is no need to fill up half a page with a sig, just keep to common sense. Cheers guys |

^^ Weird. Any chance you could upload the sig to something like imageshack.us and send me the link?

Not nearly as weird, Mike. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Something similar happened to me an year or so back, and various images of various sizes and dimensions did not go through. All were withing the acceptable limits. I dashed it all, and went ahead with my current signature (the day Maldini retired), which surprisingly was accepted.
Luckily, for a guy who changed signatures almost once a week, I've decided to stick with this one for all eternity. But anyway, it would be good if you can spare a few minutes and look into things, maybe there is some sneaky setting in the Admin panel that's causing the trouble!? |

I'm almost certain there's a problem, but if I can't replicate it, it's difficult to fix. If someone could link me to a sig that they've tried to use (and got an error), that would be great.

If someone could link me to a sig that they've tried to use (and got an error), that would be great. True. Well my story is of the 'Age of Maldini', when he was playing an year or so back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Even if I had that particular signature image it probably will be on my other computer, not this laptop. But I am sure Miz or abanovac can help you with this and send over that particular file that's having trouble getting accepted. Frankly though there shouldn't be a signature limit (unless you know some member comes in and pastes a signature as large as a dinosaur). I still recall a few animated avatars here (Kurt and Mishie I am talking to you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ), those were well over a MB or two in size. You know those converted from goal videos, etc. Once they load, they stay in the cache. Same should be the case with signatures. Another instance I recall was putting in 6 userbars, and it did not accept those at all (while at other forums there was no problem). We talked about this while that chat applet thing was going on here. I guess a limit should be there, just to be on the safe side, but it must have ample and accommodating room in terms of size and number of images, etc. Anyway, do take a look into it once someone sends you a particular image so you can pinpoint the problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) Running a place like this takes a lot of dedication, so take your time, mate! |

How 'bout my sig as an example? I tried to put the actual images into the signature entry space, but I got some weird message that looked like it had several different issues.
Oh, and m1ke? What if we had an option to have only an image in the sig, but that it could be entered with the same type of thing ESPN.com uses? Like a text bar with a "Browse" button next to it that automatically opened the Photos file in the user's computer. Maybe that would work. Just a thought! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I tried this..
(IMG:http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9290/becksd.png) ..but got the 'file is too high or wide' message. I'm sure I've seen people with far bigger sigs though? |

Try this (little bit cropped and optimised)... Worked on mine.
(IMG:http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7590/becksd.jpg) Yeah, the signatures are broke on this. I don't know what's up with them genuinely, some can't change them at all! |

QUOTE (il_diavolo_mtl @ Feb 21 2011, 10:05 AM) why? Before the forum makeover, the sig size was unlimited. So the old members with sigs from back then have an 'advantage'. |
