Maximum signature dimensions

That's funny, when I originally joined my GITS:SAC 2nd GIG image was 83ish KB in size. When I noticed that I just found the 256 color version and used that instead. Were signatures that were submitted early on not subject to the 50KB size limit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Like I said when I joined my image was over 80000 Bytes in size (now it's below 26000 due to my observations of the filesize), that was before (at least as I can recall) the restrictions were posted. I wasn't given any messages telling me that my signature wasn't allowed, but now that I know it was too large, I submitted a sig within the compliance of the rules.
Last time I tried using a signature over 50KB (in the old forums) the sig was replaced with massive text telling me (and everyone else) that the signature was too large.
EDIT: Wait, is the deletion of large signatures not an automated porcess? I noticed this sniplet in your Thread opening:

I'd have no problem with the limit. But I can't push the 24bit version of my sig below 83KB. The reason is caused by the fact that when I try to set an exact color for the outside (the part that blends in with GFF's background), it changes color. If there'd be any way to make this not happen when saving to Jpeg, I'll be very greatful.

Oh and if someone nice wants to do the above for me, you can find the image here. Just save it as a Jpeg @ 100% quality.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It is possible, with the correct wrong settings, to have it mess up the dark blue background, for whatever reason.

:itisamystery:

Actually I use The GIMP for all my intensive painting needs. Of course it could be caused by my other photo program, Irfanview, which I use to convert PNGs to Jpegs. Usually the color ends up being 1-3 shades of blue off the current GFF background.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's fine when someone like Mush does that b/c he changes them a lot but sega always has this huge Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig sigpic which never matches his avatar. What the hell does metal sonic have to do with GitS SAC 2nd Gig? Nothing, that's what, and neither have any of the other avatars he's had (as far as I know). He's always had that damn sig with no matching GitS avatar.

Unless you're going to pull a Mush, have your ava/sig be around the same topic.


Also, Shin, you're biased against anime and so while I'd love it if it were easy enough for you to just right click on a huge anime sigpic and tell it to not display (unless there is a firefox plugin for that) there's not much we can do about that.

Actually my GITS sig was just a placeholder until I find a newer sig (since I had a copy of it. Soon, I'll make a PNG transparency of Metal Sonic.
And Shin, your sig is an expression of what you like/who you are, it's like a T-Shirt. If an old man had a Pokemon T-Shirt, it'd be out of place yes, but that's up to the person who creates it. Considering everything you've said to me has been condescending, I don't respect what you say very much anymore...

I was speaking idiomatically.

or



Both just under 200kb.

If that's huge to you then maybe you need to up the resolution on your monitor from 800x600 and join the rest of society.

Actually that'd be nice. For the low bandwidth users, why not give them the option to load the first frame only of the animated GIF? That would turn out to a 10KB Gif at most.

On another note:
I'm trying out a Sonic CD Sig now, it'll have an ugly black background until I make a decent transparency, so live with it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

See, it would be nice if we could just have an option you can set so it doesn't display sigpics over a certain chosen size. That way Aardack could set it to 5kb and get a sigpic every century or so and the rest of us could get on with our lives.

Or even better, submit a thumbnail, or a 16color version of the sig. Imageshack makes a thumbnail, so why not GFF?

FELIPE NO
