Not the point, my dear Sal.
To anwser black robb, the image can be 150 by 450 pixels in size, now the 150 broad isn't much, but 450 width is quite alot. Most illustrating programs show the dimentions of your picture, adjust where required. Also keep the file size below 30 kb. So make the image as large in size as the boundaries allow and set the resolution to 72 pixels/square inch.

I merely anwsered a serious question, instead of rumbling in to a tread concerning a subject that irritates you anyhow and posting negative comments. Since you have disabled sigs all of this should no longer concern you and you should give other people the freedom to continue using them. Because afterall sigs are commonly used items and a important part of the forum-culture.
Dood … I don’t know you and I already don’t like you… ! Are you German? … ’Cause Germans usually have this pissant way of argumentation.
This is a php-based software originally developed and designed to provide a platform for written, nonverbal communication. ‘discussion’ … it actually developed from so called ‘bulletin board systems’ – they were rather trendy some years ago …. actually before you left kindergarten.
How ever a ‘forum-culture’, how you call it, develops … I am aware that teenagers tend to promote their game-clans and so what ever in huuuge blinking signatures …
But we are all here for only one reason: to communicate … through posts … written …
Ok – maybe you’re here to show off your sig – dunno …
And … I think negative posts should be allowed … unless we live in a world where everyone should be allowed to speak out ones opinion …
And people use signatures because they're just that -- a personal signature. They use them so that they can quickly be recognized and to show off something they like. I've been doing a bunch of Star Wars sigs lately because EpIII is coming out very soon and I love Star Wars. If you don't like sigs, fine, but don't rip on others because they do.
I think that ava and name are some sort if 'ID' ... of course a graphical sig is a fancy extension - especially if you're a fan of something or someone ...
but I really do believe that some people just don't know the borders ... everything has to be huuge - heavy - blinking ... it eats loading time of a site and has no practical use ... except of displaying ones favorites.
I am a webdesigner - and painter ... I could use that sig to promote my stuff ... but that's not what I am here for ...
If you've actually seen the sigs on here, you will see that there are next to none that are 'heavy blinking things', and that NONE are huge because there are limits on the sizes, pixesl and KB, so they don't take ages to load.
Many people on here have similar names, and a lot use similar avatars. So a signature image is just another way for them to differentiate themselves.
Been ****ing myself all day long, so I'm a bit ahead off you. About that communicating? Your reactions to my harmless stinging don't post you off as a very social person, so what the hell are you doing here?
And concerning your infinite knowledge about these uses of the internet, I probably got myself a broadband-connection before you left kindergarten and am in no way slowed down by other people's use of sigs. Try one of those sometime, might actually turn that frown up side down.
Now I would like to return to talking to some normal and friendly people, so if you would be so kind to return to your script on how to destroy society in 7 days I would be most obliged
There's a link to my site in my profile (and on my site are more links to my stuff), I was going to major in art in college but switched over to psychology, I decided that I just wanted to keep my art as a hobby. If I were doing it for a living it'd become almost an obligation to do, and I'd rather it be something I can do for fun and when I want to.
