New Signature Limits

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Raz
Signature limits are being reduced, as I think the currents limits are too excessive.

The signature images now have a limit of 450x150 and the text now has a limit of 8 lines.

Custom smilies (due to recent abuse) will no longer be allowed in signatures.

Quote tags, due to the space it takes, will no longer be allowed.

The tag can no longer be used in signatures.

The change will not affect you unless you change your profile.

Cinemaddiction
Well, they are in essence signature lines, not spiffy art galleries. stick out tongue

dave123
i would hardly expect someone of your signature making calibre to comprehend

Hegemon875
has there been any complaints about the current sig size?

Raz
*I* think they are too excessive, as I said in the first post.

Additionally, the quote tag will no longer be allowed.

I'm in a wicked mood, can you tell? wink

Hey you're god around here, your will be done, even if its wrong miffed

HOLY CRAP!!!! i knew raz is an evil god! he will smite us all until he dies (or gets bored)!


why are the sigs being reduced any way? this problem hasnt arisen before!!!

i still dont see the point? reducing the sigs are like making them barely visible. 500X200 we can just get away with...

Barely visible? These uber-sigs are just tacky, IMO. Here's a size comparison.

booo wheee
*throws tomato*

boooo

i disagree ; i cant even do any modification in my e-mail , cause i just changed it. and the sys wont allow me to do any modifications without changing my signature first.

altough it says that current sigs will remain as they are, i cannot alter anything else.

I would have thought the the more time passes as a member the less pixel limitations one gets.......clearly wrong.

as usual; just because there are a few that abuse, everyone gets a boot on the signature limitations.

so my post is smaller than my sig in this one post, so what? There are many times when the opposite is true. So if my post was consistently 100 lines long I could have a larger sig?

*Raz in sinister whispering voice*
8 lines ! blow

---

mine is 6 lines and it asks me to have it changed. but i am ssuming that its because of the amount of pixel per line thing.

which is kind of misleading. as mine is 6 and not 8 , then i would have a complaint. (if Raz accepts them laughing out loud )

but most users are not familiar with this pixel per line rule...which kinda leaves them in the dark as not everyone is technical.

BakaXero
these changes will only affect my tranparent sigs... dammit!!

Stealth Agent
awwn that sucks, i dont understand what the big deal is how would it hurt us to have bigger sigs

Raz are you going to attack the avatars next?

Hegemon875
I miss the good old days when there was no limit at all (as long as you hosted it yourself) then came the size limit, and the kb limit, and now a reduction in size.

Urm razzle when you upload the sig it still says 500 by 200..that will just confuse some peeps..(yes like me)

And to all - this does NOT affect you until you decide to change your profile.

I still dont see why everyone is complaining, it just means there is more room for other things and should speed things up a little. Plus i hate signatures that are too big they just annoy me, the new restrictions are not that bad at all guys.

Quit moping and get over it.

It's sexy when Raz puts his foot down like that.

VicmCruz3663
I think the limits are 2 small

Hegemon875
As I see it there are only 2 opnions on the sig change, indifference and objection, so, the only reason I think its being implimented is because of a personal preference of Raz's. Now of course it is HIS website but it is a VERY large forum with many people who like it and dont want to leave and if they dont want the change and dont mind the current settings I really dont think changing the limit is justified.

maybe some ppl simply like big sigs, they like to make them big and now they can't, they have the right to express they're opinion

as for me Im ok with being 150 vertical, but I dont like it being 450 horizontal sad

ah ok since its ok with korri its ok with everyone, of course why didnt I realize that before, ok go ahead Raz reduce it to 100x200 Korri doesnt like big sigs.

OK after all this "talk", I have not seen one good argument for keeping larger signatures...

i have a good one...look at my sig..the reduced limit ruins it...convinced yet? big grin stick out tongue

Originally posted by Raz

I like the smaller and thiner signatures anyway - i cant really think of why we would need bigger, but why not keep the lenght 500 and only regulate the hight?

cry my saber is 500 long, and if i change my siggy (which probably wont happen for a while) i cant have my saber the same lenght again cry And sabers that are less than 500 pix just look poo!!! cry

^^ did that sound selish? Thats the only argument i have to keep the lenght the same, and reduce the hight droolio

The Ones
Raz:

if people want to put some content into a sig, but they dont have enough room to put it all in, they will just change to have no sigs. the forum will go and people will be bored. the signiture is like an id. i see your sig and say: "hey, raz likes star wars" and people will say the same about me. but if i loose interest in star wars (AS IF) or if people loose interest in what there sigs are expressing, or if they want to change to a different element of what they like, they will want to change it. but they cant if the limits are too small. and we wont know users personalities and what they like and it would just be lifeless.

Storm
Don' t dramatise it.

I have no problem with the image limits, only with the text restriction because I use the center and url tags a lot.

A4E
i agree with milla i dont care about the high... I care about the width

The Ones
i care about both!!!

dave123
Raz, I understand your arguments that height should be reduced - fair enough, the average sig is longer than the average post, but how can you justifty less width? confused

Hegemon875
Why is having a longer sig than post a problem. I have yet to see a good arguement to lower the limit.

we cannot include animated gifs in the sig ; such as the following

I think that'd make it easier, for those who want the larger image.

yes

Jedi Priestess
I'm agreeing with the height restriction myself. Some peoples siggs have gotten to be billboard size. Also the sigs with a bunch of smilies in them are annoying. But, I do agree whole-heartedly with those that want to keep the width at 500. That doesnt eat the posting space and is quite handy for sabers. yes

A4E
yeah!! go width thing!!

Yes!! Same here...hight, is annoying, billboard as JP said.

But please please please let us have 500 in width cry please Darth Razious cry

The Ones
jkoz is right. go with his idea Raz

¤Freak-N-Lost¤
Yeah Me likes that idea yes

Most of my sigs were 500x150 anyway

(with the exeption of this 1 I have on now)

Cinemaddiction
Yep. Width is an issue, height, I only go about 100, anyway.

hahaha! That would make a great siggy!

like for example in the following, when the camera closes up on the guns that are back-to-back, some able editor can make the letters KMC appear. that would be a cool sig

Yup, no problem denying it.

i understand that sig pics need to be a bit smallr,
but why can't i have my ONE scrolling line of text, only because the program counts it as two lines? messed

New sig limit's don't bother me much at the moment. Though they might soon when I make a new sig.

Raz
Sorry peeps, no changes. Although in the future, possibly.

Also an add-on. I'm disallowing all use of the tag as I see no purpose for it there. All the text will (soon) automagically become a smaller size.

It must be the siggy and avy. stick out tongue

But on a serious note....when I first join KMC I remenber people would have huge siggys and a ton of smilies with a too many quotes. As time has passed I've noticed that smaller siggies are neat and you get to scroll down quicker (of course I don't time when I'm scrolling down a forum) and faster. Is better to have smaller siggies.

Something like this is better than big letters in your signature imo stick out tongue

Clovie
but still now it has to be smaller sad

Storm
That signature fits perfectly within the given limitations.

Clovie
really? that's good big grin


but i still NEED one line more cry

Storm
Goddammit and now I' m in trouble with changing it back.

Please reduce the size of your signature, as it is too large.

Currently it is 10 lines. We allow a maximum of 8 lines.

The lines include any images you have in your signature. (25 height pixels = 1 line)

Clovie
sad

sowwie..... bag


this 8 lines limit is killing me sad

Storm
One url ffs.

Raz
Storm, I've never seen you so angry! flirt1

Anyhoo, the problems you just experienced should have gone now.

BBcode i.e. bold, color, URLs tags, are no longer counted towards a "line".

Storm
That' s still nothing.
Thank you.

That' s the first sensible decision in days stick out tongue

I have, however, extended the width of the uploader to 500 for mods. Although in theory, you could just bypass the uploader anyway, but I would prefer it if you didn't.
