      IRC Nickname: RobbieThe1st Group: Founder Posts: 770 Member No.: 2 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 49    | On these forums, I have as of yet not posted the needed signature rule topic. I have recently noticed signatures of some people getting larger, in both size and file-size. You want the forums to load quickly? Don't put huge animations in your signature! Avatars -
If we find you have an oversized signature, we will remove the offending signature. If you replace your signature without fixing the problems within it, the signature will again be removed and you may be warned or suspended. It is your obligation to read these rules and ensure that your signature follows them. * "Suitable for all users" means:
If your signature image is too large, filesize wise, here is a tip that can help you - Compression: If your signature was last edited in MS Paint, it is probably wasting space, as MS Paint isn't good about compressing images made with it. I suggest you get IrfanView(Free), open your image with that, then save it. Generally, this can shave off a few KB. Now, so long as your image is not an animation, you can try this trick: -Open your image in IrfanView, as before. -Image menu > Decrease Color Depth. -Now, set the radio button to Custom, and put in the number of colors. -Press OK, and look at the image. If it looks distorted color wise, you have decreased it too much. -You want to reduce the colors a bit, but not so much that it distorts the image. Note: Image menu > Information has a lot of information about the current image. The 'Number of unique colors' box has the number of colors currently in the image(Make sure 'Auto count' IS checked). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your signature is an animation, you can't do much of anything with IrfanView, but Gimp can. After installing Gimp and loading up your image, go to the Filters menu > Animation > Optimize (For GIF). Then save it. With any luck, it will be smaller. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cropping your image, shrinking it down to size, can also drasticly reduce both file-size and image-size. Paint works fine for this, but just remember to use IrfanView to optimize the end product. If you have any questions, post them here. -RobbieThe1st -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link  I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

Well, I don't know how IE7 handles the forums, but if you are using IE6 or below... Upgrade or switch to another browser! Not only is it insecure, but it doesn't render everything properly, and it is *not* supported. The avatar thing... Its a glitch in there somewhere, none of my coding. -RobbieThe1st -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

And there are clans which are even stricter. We've got the limits for a reason. And we figure that its better to let people with dial-up and the like actually use the forum, and let the people who want their sig to be a poster display to make a topic in the graphics forum or something. Its a pain when you've got to scroll down the same mass of pictures just to read what someone's saying, especially when you see the same sig day in day out. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||||||||
