Post subject: Hear ye.. hear ye.. a (somewhat) overlooked guideline
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:36 am Hey everybody, Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news, but I need to remind everyone of part of the forum guidelines that gets overlooked sometimes: * Images used in signatures should not exceed a total width of 500 pixels and height of 100 pixels. Total file size of signature images should not exceed 20kb. It's an understandable mistake since it's something we probably read once and don't think about much, but yeah.. some of you have images in your signatures that exceed the size limits. Would you please fix them? The motivation behind this guideline is to: 1) Keep the forum pages loading relatively quickly. Not everyone has a high-speed connection, so while it might load fast for some, a large signature image can slow things down for others. 2) Keep the forum looking "tidy", without having lots of really long signatures on posts. Thanks for understanding. Forum on. (been reading too many of cameron's posts) _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |

erm.. sorry about that. I'll prob extend the width to 500.. 468 pixels is common web banner dimensions, so that seems fair. and it doesn't stretch out the screen. _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |
