Title: Increase signature's maximum size?
Post by: Tomer on August 02, 2012, 02:03:26 am
Discuss, I guess the idea is pretty east, but I'm aware of the consequences  may be caused to the forum, and maybe not, but it doesn't have to be maximized very much, the height and the width gotta be balanced somehow or something.

Discuss.

I believe 500x125 is enough, there are people that put huge signatures(for example you) and it would take people with low internet to load it for a long time.

Yes, I just uploaded it now, too much tired for 30 second editing :3
But, if people will upload pictures to same size then post them here, and yes, people like me, I guess, upload 2560 x 1900 - or less HD pictures, and maybe that is the fact it the limit is such.

500x125 is absolutely the biggest you'll want signatures.
Well, I guess you could extend the width.. but the height should be no more than it already is.

While it could be extended, we do have to take in to account a number of people who still use low screen resolutions. Allowing a wide signature would make many posts unreadable withour scrolling for them.

Does anyone use an 800x600 screen anymore? :poke:

Extending the maximum lines of signatures wouldn't hurt..

Yes it would.

Yes it would.

why ?

Why so much bother about signature size? It is ok the way it is now I suppose.. If you don't like it, enlarge it.
Title: Re: Increase signature's maximum size?
Post by: Gandalf on August 02, 2012, 06:13:09 pm
why ?
Ever been on a forum where people use 10 lines and a high picture? You can hardly read the posts...
A signature should be limited in size, and not take a full page.

Oh i see, then this is a bad idea O.o

The old height of signatures (125px) was fine, as 90px makes it seem very small on most modern monitors. No need to extend the width, but if I still remember correctly, 125px was the limit for image height a few years ago.

Unless that caused some adverse effects to the forum?

The last "dimensions" for signatures were 500x125, it appears to have been reduced.

Check your last post. Your current signature takes up 50% of the profile space. If it were any bigger, it would disturb the readability of posts.

True, we must take into consideration the allowance for 3 lines within the signature bar by allowing less height of the image.

Bumping this, still think it needs to happen. I would love for signature height to be 125 pixels again - 90 is just too small.
Title: Re: Increase signature's maximum size?
Post by: Vitoo on October 20, 2013, 02:59:07 am
Yeah, either 125 or 150. 90 is too small.

I'm happy with the way it currently is.

Signatures don't need to be big. They are simply there to identify and tell us about a user.

I prefer the content of posts to be the priority whilst the signature space is kept to a minimum; just the way it is now.

But is 125 really that bad? It makes a hell of a difference to signature designers and hardly any difference to the post.

150-90 i think !

I agree with this. Make it 728X125 or 728X150 would make a huge difference for people who actually design signatures, but it would not make much of a difference to the post.

Doesn't even need to be that. 500x125 is sufficient.

Well, I said 728 because that is the current limit.

I kinda like it being 90, it just looks better. Any bigger and the signature could get bigger than the actual post.

There are some signatures that look way better with 150 pixels than with 90 pixels.

Current size is enough by my means, you should not scroll more cause a player picked a big signature.

You can disable people's signatures, as far as I know. So, if you don't want to "scroll more cause a player picked a big signature", then you disable them. And, let's be honest, scrolling a little more than you are used to is not much of a big deal.

It's fine the way it is, any bigger and it can disturb the posts.
