I have been doing some experimenting...not to irritate anyone of course...just for my own good. You can make your signature as big as you want adding loads of spaces in there but you can only have images to add up to 400x120. So I'm thinking....ok what is the point of that? I can just be annoying and put a huge space between all my letters and make my profile be wicked long...well, if you can make it as big as you want there why can't you have 2 images in your profile? I'm not saying make a new rule for the letter and space thing just a bigger sig would make some people so very happy.
ok don't yell at me...I take negitivity better in PM.
Thanks.
-
I think if sigs were allowed to be much bigger, it'd get extremely annoying. Posts would all take up way too much spaces, and you'd havta scroll a ton to read through all the posts... idk. Maybe thats just my opinion and maybe I'm just lazy :)
-
but right now someone can have a bunch of spaces in their profile and you could still have to scroll...
and the load thing well...how about if you can only have one animated sig? Animated sigs take longer than regular sigs to load soooooooo there you go.
-

you take it better in a PM but you have no problem posting it in open public.
For the moment we only limit images in hopes people will be civil enough not to abuse the freedoms of text. If those freedoms are abused, limits could be placed on those as well.
Be careful.

Well sir I already talked to a mod in PM about. But the mod stated that there is a whole board that I could use to bring it up to the other mods.
-
:roflmao: @ bee vee!!
Couldn't they be a little bigger?
-
I'll be negative whenever I want. In fact, I'm not being negative. I'm just answering the question.
Sure, there's no rule keeping someone from putting spaces in their siggy to make it bigger. What there is is COMMON SENSE. I accidentally made my sig too big one time on here without even having a picture at all. The mods jumped all over it--I got like four PMs in a matter of two hours.
Maybe there's not a "written" law about texts in your sig, but if it gets too long for any reason the mods will use their common sense and tell you to fix it.
The pictures in the signatures are big enough.

yes and I already sent the message to all the mods about your concern.
-
Thank you. :D

sure thing...
-
I personally thing that sig space could be increased lengh ways since it doesnt take any more time to scroll down.
But also I think the maximum sig height could be incread by few pixels

I agree with Scott!
Damn...I just lost all my dignity... :roll:

mmmm, I already think it's annoying when a pic on a regular post is so wide that I have to scroll lengthwise to read all the other posts on the page. I think sigs are fine the way they are.
-
I think avs should be 100 x 100! :D

If the width was changed to say 500 it would still be smaller than a quote...so the sig wouldn't have to make you scroll.

4 PM's about it?? Interesting since we have safeguards in place to prevent that very thing.
But yes, we are relying on user's common sense. Seemed to work well thus far.

There goes one mod...

I dont think you'll get much disagreement from the mods, we took a vote back when the limits were first put in place. Majority ruled 400x120.

Oh shucks...
Couldn't we even stretch to 500x150?
And what about the aaaaav thing? :)
-
Yeah, what BV said.
But thanks for your concerns.
-
i agree on the avatar thing.
avatar;s should be 100x100
my board[foolycooly.proboards22.com] allows avatars to go up to 100x100 and it looks perfect. not too big at all.
also.
i believe my signature is the exact limit.
now look at it...
does it look too big to you? do you think you would mind if it was maybe just a little bigger??
how about 450x120 or 450x125 ?
i think that would work out.
-
You people need to learn to pick your battles.
Is it really that serious?
-
go people sigs are not a master piece and there is no museum for them... we don't need them HUGE.
my standard sig is 250x100 and av is 60x60...
and I know there is a limit to how much text you put in your sig....so I am assuming they would make it so you can't put too much space (or delete all the spaces if they got annoyed...)
This is kind of a dumb issue....but whatever.
-
I like to have a huge desktop resolution everyones sigs look so tiny so i would enjoy making sigs just that ickle bit bigger I dont see and problem with 500x150: you don't have to scroll across to read posts and you wouldn't even notice scrolling that extra 30 pixels
-

That's your choice to have a large desktop. Yes, Netscape, etc can tend to "smallercize" stuff. However, not everyone else does. i'd bet a good majority. Things don't need to be changed just because of that. There are other options. Why do you need bigger sigs? We know who you are and what you like. that's what text posts are for.
-
I don't want to sound mean, but this post will so i apologize in advance...
a) Several boards don't even allow sigs or avatars even tho the board can support it...
b) Several boards *cough*VCMB*cough* don't even have the option of saving a sig or an avatar...
c) anyone willing or considering entering a ton of spaces in their sig by choice just to be difficult will be dealt with accordingly (in private) and probably have sig rights removed because that is just annoying and juvenile.
d) The current sig sizes were agreed upon by the entire mod team for several reasons:
- They're not extremely obnoxious in size and don't deter from the conversation
- They go without saying that with a smaller size sig or avatar, on average the file size will be smaller. Obviously if you're not very knowledgable in graphics you can have a 500 meg sig file but again, we assume people have basic common sense (and we would deal with those guys independantly).
- We really were trying to put into consideration those users on dial up (which are still quite a few people!) and how much it would suck to load a thread.
On a side now, when i'm travelling an on dialup, i visit no threads because it's too painfully slow and annoying to wait for one to load.
With the above reasons in mind about why we set the current limitations, and knowing that you're going to be contending against the mod team i will say that we are always open to suggestions. I see a few things on the table..
1) increasing sig size
2) increasing avatar size
Can someone give valid reasons for increasing them; i.e. what we as a community will gain by having larger images in those locations and perhaps what other restrictions you might want put in place instead?
For example: I propose we increase sig sizes to 450x200 and limit the image sizes to 30k because it will make the board happier because all graphic peeps want more space to work with.
Depending on the decent reasons we receive, we may take it back to the table and discuss it further.

i have dial up[aol] and im just used to the slowness.
sure, its annoying all the time, and i want to kill people because aol sucks. but sure, i dont mind waiting 10 extra seconds.. like i said, im used to it.
:?
BaH whatever.
nothing has to be changed. things are cool. :)
-
well if you're going to change it, I think it should be like Kulp said, like 450x120 or 450x125.
That way it's not too much...and it adds a little bit.
but nothing like EXTREMLY big...even if I don't use dial up...it gets annoying.
-
I'll express my thoughts on this matter. This is america I am living in, so I think I have the right...Nothing against the mods, I think their all nice, including the Freakin' Admin...but I'm not about to suck up and be all kind about it..
[My ramling thoughts]
Sure with the picture size limit you're being kind to those with slow computer, LIKE ME, and so the smaller the quicker they load...Right? Yeah..So why don't we say no animated sigs/avatars, because on my computer those take even longer to load than a picture that is slightly larger than the limit and non animated.
Another thing is that you have to scroll past their pictures as you're reading the forum...well then MAKE A SIZE THAT THE PICTURE AND/OR THE TEXT TOGETHER have to remain within...
Also - The whole you break the rule 5 times or whatever thing..If you put a sig in which is above however many pixles and then you get PMed, normally within the hour, and you remove it, you should have that count against you, it should be if you come online and don't fix it that they count it against you...My computer has nothing that tells me how many pixles my pics are, and I have no clue how big a pixle is...hmmm

so we just warn you, and warn you, and warn you, and warn you, and warn you forever? No.
We'll warn you 3 times, play nice, give you a week to change it.
By the 4th time thats telling us you dont grasp the concept of the limits, so the warnings go away and we skip right to the removal.

Right Click the pic, hit Properties.
-
yes all us mods voted on the size... and let me tell you .. I would prefer it to be 100 by 300... so I think that answers your questions on how I feel about the sigs getting bigger... but I am not closed off to ideas. Like katia said if you all have a good proposal we are always willing to discuss it.
-
I propose we have no sig or av limits and that we serve all sig makers chocolate cake every time they finish a sig!
:D :D :D
Just trying to lighten it up a lil' ; )
-
Yo.
Sigs serve no purpose. I mean, they're pretty and all, but they serve no purpose.
-
Neither do humans - and some of them are damn ugly!
:wink:
-
I know. That's why I want to kill you all. You're all bothering me. I just want to be left alone. Clearly the only way that's going to happen is to be along, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to let all of you go. Except the Braves and the Jaguars. And the Braves and Jags are going to need someone to play, so we'll keep the Red Sox and Patriots. And the Jaguar Cheerleaders. And the Palm. And we'll need to keep the people that work at the Palm. That's it though. We kep the Braves, Jags, Red Sox, Pats, Jaguar Cheerleaders, and the people that work at the Palm. Sports, Jaguar girls, and a well prepared steak, that's all I need. Sometimes I like to mix it up with Italian, Chinese,... alright you can all stay, but don't bug me. You're on probation. But don't forget, I was { this } close to banishing all of you.

um sure...

I hope they put a limit on that, it's far to much. I vote 6 words.

Tell me about them! I picked this name because I had been listening to A Perfect Circle's new song "The Outsider" and at school one day I had that song stuck in my head, so for one part where I couldn't quite understand him, I thought he was saying "Suicidal Tendencies" and so that is what I sang in my head...When I got home that day I looked up the lyrics and it said "Suicidal Embicle." So I didn't know where I picked up that from, but I knew it sounded familiar...So they were a band?
-
yeah they were, im sure you can find them on any file sharing program too, heck you might like it, not really my thing any more, im way too relaxed for it lol

Bearshare pleased me, kazaa killed my computer..Is winmx good? And will I get a law suit? haha
-
uhhh ....kazaa lite is fine, just dont get any programs, you have to hunt for it on searches, youll find the download. Dont share more than 100 songs on any program if you are worried, i have 2000 songs but share about 60 hehe
no need to qoute me either, i know what you're talkin about G
-
Alrighty dawg, you got a link to kazaa lite or is it right on the regular kazaa site?
I never share songs anyways, I always take..haha
-
I never share songs anyways, I always take..haha
you're called a LEECH.
btw good song from Tantric
-
look it up on google maybe? :wink:
jk its banned, but it CAN be found
-

I'll leave sharing to those who are able to use high speed internet and not almost kill their computer just from opening the program, which takes 10 minutes for bear share to completly open up..
And about Tantric, which it is a good song, I might get to see them in march! The 18th their coming around here, with SHINEDOWN!! *goes to post about Shinedown* :D
-
dont worry k lite is a small program, it is quicker than kazaa by far
-
Alright Thanks Pete!
I have a long list of songs building up to download..
:D
EDIT: I'm lost, any one of the links under K-Lite Codec Pack 2.24 Full ??
-
yes, clik the little green oval ;)
-
Thanks! I'm such a dipshit! Only a 40 minute download haha!
-
haha if you want in the meantime check this out its amazing, the best guitarist ever
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/guitar.asx
-
Justin King, haha!
I already looked in the thread in other musicians..:D I won't click that though because last time I visited an albinoblacksheep site it was...
DO NOT CLICK
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/you.html
which is the smiley face virus that covers your screen and you can do nothing but restart your computer..I will check him out tho when kazaa finishes, I'll download some of his stuff on there :D
-
lol no no, that link is just to one video, you should check that out first at least
and when you get that thing
hit crtl alt del
open the task manager
click on the processes tab
and right click on the iexplore.exe process and select end process
youll be set
and if just in case you end explorer.exe by mistake you can always start that too again which actually comes in handy sometimes
when you are in the task manager
click file, then select new task
type in explorer.exe and hit ok!
-
Ahh! Good man! Although that vid probably wouldn't work on my computer anyways...hello windows 86 haha!
Want my AIM sn? People might start getting iritated at us..
-
its aright im jettin, but the link is good, im puttin in my profile too, this guy is amazing, peace

Have the sig requirements changed or are people just breaking the rules and nothing is being done about it?

nothing's changed. if you notice someone breaking it, PM a mod and it'll be taken care of.

there was a conscious decision made to allow the official harmonium banner even tho it doesn't meet sig requirements here.
