[Request] please allow bigger signatures

I'm impressed that you were able to make this JPEG over 20Kb, what app were you using?

photoshop cs2

I so vote for this! i mean 20 kb?!?!?! comon more liek 120-200!!!

[Klamor]

look, all i'm asking is to make the image upload size at least 50k... so we can upload some good-quality images
make a setting so that each person can only have 1 pic in their signature

I agree its pretty smal but a 20K limitation is not a big deal. Look at the 1st image I posted, took like 2 seconds with Gimp to re-encode as JPEG and got it under 20K (it's only 14K actually) and it's very nearly the exact same quality as the PNG. I can see only some very slight differences between the two.

He's asking for filesize increase which is fine IMO; height and width needs to be limited to some extent but filesize can vary pretty widely

The fact of the matter is that increasing the file size of sigs will slow the site down. Watch out for the poor folks who have slow DSL...

I think 20kb is more than fine.

I think the problem was, that when you posted your version, you didn't spell out what you had done for him. You need to do that.

Klamor, 20k is actually pretty huge. As Stabface pointed out, he easily lowered your "requested sig" from 50k to 13ish.

I'm in no position to complain about sig size. Mine is pretty big. (maybe I should shrink it a bit) The key to having a nice sig is to keep the vertical down. TALL sigs are terrible, and eat up WAY more space because they don't have content wrap around them. They end up filling the screen with "blank space" which distracts from the forums.

As for wide, go crazy... just make it short.

Boom

I miss the quality of my old sig (not real happy with it now) however I do understand its purpose. One thing I really don't like is Avatar limit. There's tons out there I'd love to use but cannot

Also for the sigs theres some damn nice wow animated sigs you can make, I was going to post the "How to" but its pretty much pointless because of the limit. I vote for removing the limit. But my feelings won't be hurt if it's not.

I'd not be opposed to lifting the filesize limit but I definitely agree with the pixel size limits as they are today. I really do not want to have to adblock everyone's sigs because they're half a page tall.

lol this thread was like a year old... who dug it up?

anyways it's till a good idea
