Signature Limit Upped

The sig dimensions are fine. I'm pretty sure you're in the minority, Shin.

Really, what would be nice is if we had personal sig filesize limits. The default for everyone initially would be 75kb. Then if you wanted it lowered or raised you could as you see fit. It would only allow images below a filesize that you set be displayed. If it goes over then it displays a small image in the sigpic's place that says "Picture blocked by personal sig filesize limit."

How could we do this? Well obviously checking everytime a thread loads would be ridiculous. You'd crash the server for sure. What you could do is have it keep a stat for the total filesize of your sig whenever you press apply when you edit your sig. It'll calculate the loaded images then and there and keep the total filesize in a database. It would do this for everyone and basically that way it would automatically filter people's sigpics for you without taxing the server.

People who want to use and see big sigpics can do that and people who don't want to see them can set limits so they don't. Happy world for everyone, yes?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm in favor of lowering both the visual and memory size of sigs.

(I can't stand those 1" 3mb anigifs I see on other forums.)

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

Sweet. Now I can further sig-abuse my now almost-7-month-long request. Flags ftw.

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

naz you've got too many images in your sig <3

That needs to be upped too. To at least 7 or something.

Alright, sig reducing now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

lol I was just kidding around. While it's true according to the rules I don't really give a shit. Surely since I've pointed it out someone else here in metropolis does though. Sound the alarm! Pictures that size are pretty harmless anyway.

FELIPE NO

I have a question about the number of images in the signature.
Do the rules mean that there can only be 2 different images in a signature? If so, does this imply that someone can have more than two iterations of the same image in their signature? Or is it only 2 images, regardless?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The specific rule states only 2 images max in a sig. That can include emoticons if we're nazi anal butt pirates but we usually don't count emoticons unless you've got like 5 of them and then I'm tempted to mod abuse your ava/sig.

My thoughts are as long as your images match the alotted 300x550 pixels while staying under the filesize limit then you should be okay. That's me though and I'm real lenient about sigs.

Double Post:
Oh god what have I done? =O

3375 images of the same image in my sig. This is a disaster!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you stare into it the way you do with those Magic Eye images (stereoscopically?), it's like a bunch of white bars scrolling left. Hypnotic, but a bit boring. Maybe if it had the illusion of ridiculous bouncing. That'd be godly. And my eyes would bleed.

Aaw, I was hoping there would be a horizontal uppage from 550px.
Oh well, any increase is good, but I don't see my sigs ever aspiring to reach an upper bound of 75kb (design illiterate).

I'm just wondering who was the mod to change it. <3

Why the fuck would you need more than that.

Come on, don't tell me you don't know how to crop and rescale.

Actually, someone beat me to it. <3 I mean </3 or something, I dunoo. I HATE YOU

FELIPE NO

Sorry to drag this up, but um. I would like to apologize for reporting sigs over 50kb since this was posted. No one sent me a memo, and nor should they have! But I am just saying, you know. Sorry.

Also, you guys know those reports get annoying. I am guessing that aided in the decision? ^_^

I won't complain. I will say that you've taken away a lot of my fun when the forums are dead. Cry.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I wish sig dimensions could be decided on a per user basis.

300 pixels tall is fine for decent signatures which have a lot of content in them; they'd look too noisy if they were squashed. But look at this http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/me...nfo&userid=370

It's just 300 pixels of very dark lighting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What next, unlimited avatar file sizes? I'm sure you've been to other forums where people think it's cool to have a megabyte or larger avatar of some stupid-ass movie scene or something like that. I don't really care so much being on a high-speed connection at the moment, but what about the dial-uppers?

The 100kb limit doesn't bother me as much as how many signatures contain pictures that are really tall though. Most of the members with such a picture usually post one-line sentences to balance their post frame, but when they start typing longer posts it makes the whole look of things look... off, for lack of a better word.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

'Shit' is a better word.

I suppose that could be an extra option added to Personal Sig Limits if it's ever made.

Yeah, to begin with he's going 3 pixels over the width dimensions. Plus, it is a shitty sig. I'm going to get him a new matching Phoenix Wright ava/sig. =)

I think we've all come to the conclusion that we don't give a shit about this...what was it? Something like 5% of our userbase? I don't know why we should cater to the minority in this case. Boo hoo. Get ad block with your firefox and block chocosig and you'll save yourself a lot of bandwidth if you're that concerned. =\

I was speaking idiomatically.

I know mine was, then I asked about it, and they fixed it. Then again, people can use ChocoSig.

Imageshack has 1.5MB

I'm pretty sure AOL Dial-Up is more expensive then broadband.

Oh, well that's good. I still like imagesocket more.

I remember maybe a month or so ago not getting but a little over a megabyte and never that much. I guess they've increased their size.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sometime during the summer they upped the limit. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to host the images on my own webspace.
