indeed, marquee and spoilers ftl. but dude, as for the screen size in paragraph two. Simply do this:

Hold the control button on your keyboard and scroll with wheel on mouse. It will change the zoom of the screen. for those without scroll wheel, go to:

view>zoom> and set it to one where the screen isnt needed to be scrolled to the left or right.

very simple to fix that.

I wasn't complaining about my screen size, I was giving an idea of the space the forum uses and how much of it sigs take up. No point shrinking everything to make stuff like sigs fit better if it means you can't read the text.

Also, i believe the signature shows someones personality. who they are. Its impossible to portray whats in my signature in a 100 x 150 sig and still have someone understand about me. i mean, look at all of us who have larger sigs. Does that not portray something about us that would be much harder to show if it was in a 100x150 sig?

It's not impossible, it just means you have to go about it differently. If you think it's harder to show that same personality on a smaller canvas, then you're limiting your own creativity. This is a forum for communication and discussion. Your primary medium for showing your personality should be the post itself, the signature should just be a minor extension of that.

i would like to say that i do agree with jask on one thing. a 150 x 700 is reallly too big. i like his size. which was how i originally was going to say it to be but figured id make it go accross.

a 150 x 400 is really the best size for a sig. anything bigger is just too much. ive said pretty much all i can say.

[Jask]

Er... It's 400 x 150. Width x height. That's the standard.

[HayzenTZ]

I liked the old forum setting standards, 420x120. although you can definitely do something with higher height pixels..

[Hguols]

Standard internet web banner size is 468x60.

....which is more than reasonable I think....

I for one would like to have the old limit in size for our signatures. My old one-that I realllly liked- was 406 x 106 and this new format for signatures doesn't allow it. Just stating my view.

[thraadash]

The Signature limit is now 420x120.

Awesome. That's perfect!


...Except for the fact that I tried to upload this image(which is 406 x 106...at least it says it is) and it didn't work...oy vey.

Thanks for that, now as I didn't want to make another thread for it, I'd like to ask about the image limits, before the DDOS attack, the max allowed were 5, but putting the images under spoilers would fix that, but now, not even under spoilers, and it is kind of annoying being able to post only 5 images on my thread, is there a way to fix this?

Also, when I want to edit the post, it doesn't let me as it says I posted more images that it's allowed..

The spoilers workaround as an unintended loophole, it has now been fixed. The image limit is there to conserve bandwidth, maintain reasonable load times, and reduce oversized posts. Not everyone is on a fast connection.

I'm good...I have this wicked Jinouga sig from Cross instead.


Though it is odd that that image-which is supposed to be 406 x 106-was to big for the 420 x 120 sig limit...I think the pic might actually be bigger than it says it is...

Hence the spoilers. The image limit doesn't let me edit my thread.

The only thing the spoilers help with is post size. The browser still loads images in spoiler tags when you first load the page.

Just so images actually fit in sigs and don't overflow you could try editing your css like so.

edit ipb_styles.css

located here http://forums.minega...tyle_css/css_1/ipb_styles.css

Padding creates space around content while Margin creates space in content I think... or maybe it's the other way around...or they do the same thing...I can't remember...

Max-height is probably the main reason why signatures overflow in the first place though...

Try replacing

---

.signature {
color: #8e8e8e;
font-size: 11px;
border-top: 1px solid #d5dde5;
padding: 8px;
margin: 10px 10px 0px 6px;
max-height: 80px;
}

---

with

---

.signature {
color: #8e8e8e;
font-size: 11px;
border-top: 1px solid #d5dde5;
padding: 8px;
margin: 10px;
min-height: 80px;
}

---

^ that should work, but...you never know

---

OR you could be mean and add overflow:hidden;

(which would crop whatever went past the max-height)

---

.signature {
color: #8e8e8e;
font-size: 11px;
border-top: 1px solid #d5dde5;
padding: 8px;
margin: 10px 10px 0px 6px;
max-height: 80px;
overflow:hidden;
}

---

OR you could add overflow:scroll;

(which would crop whatever went past the max-height and create a scroll bar so you can scroll down and see the rest... I think.)

---

.signature {
color: #8e8e8e;
font-size: 11px;
border-top: 1px solid #d5dde5;
padding: 8px;
margin: 10px 10px 0px 6px;
max-height: 80px;
overflow:scroll;
}
