To touch the light I see in your eyes...
For some reason, the staff keeps finding oversized sigs. :huh: I don't know why, but some people seem to be ignoring our signature size rules:

**SIGNATURE RULES**
- Max 2 standard-sized banners (around 500 pixels X 100 pixels ) -OR- 1 large image/banner (500 pixels x 200 pixels)
- Max 500 text characters (set by the board, no need to worry about that)
- Max 5 lines of text
- Max combined file size of 500 KB
- No signatures and no avatars that break the rules (pornography, flames, links to illegal stuff, plagiarism, anti-CloudxAerith, anti-Aerith, pro-Cloti, the works).
- No Flash (also set by the board)
- No inflammatory or hateful language/pictures


Those rules are posted in two place:

Forum Rules
The Rules

If your signature is larger than 500 X 200 pixels, please make it smaller. Images wider than 600 pixels will stretch the page. Images taller than 200 pixels make your sig longer than many posts. :ermm:

Please try to keep signature sizes no larger than 500 pixels wide x 200 pixels tall. Images larger than 500 pixels wide x 200 pixels tall will be removed by forum staff.

Thank you!

Forgive the double posting, but I just realized that the Signature Size rules are unclear. Perhaps that's the reason for the recent tendency toward oversized signatures.

The rules state:

**SIGNATURE RULES**
- Max 2 standard-sized banners (around 500 pixels X 100 pixels ) -OR- 1 large image/banner (500 pixels x 200 pixels)

That means 2 standard sized sigs 500 pixels WIDE x 100 pixels HIGH or 1 standard sized sig 500 pixels WIDE x 200 pixels HIGH.

The tendency is for people to make their sigs 500 pixels HIGH, which takes up more room than most posts.

No - please make sig pictures 200 pixels high at the most.

Thank you,
~Aly

PS - If your sig is larger than 500 pixels wide x 200 pixels high, your sig will be removed by forum staff.

I don't know if I can post here and ask this but...

so the signatures can only be 200px for height & 200px for length? :huh: I'm just a bit confused about this now. :lol:

EDIT:
You know what, lol--never mind. stupid question on my part. :blush: (I'll just keep my sig the way it is, since it's so small.)

Either TWO signatures that are under 500 pixels WIDE with 100 pixels HEIGHT.

Or ONE signature that is under 500 pixels WIDE and 200 pixels HEIGHT.

Come away, oh human child, to the waters and the wild.
Just posting in here as a reminder about signature sizes.

You have two options for images in your signatures:
Option 1: Two signatures that are under 500 pixels WIDE with 100 pixels HEIGHT.

Option 2: One signature that is under 500 pixels WIDE and 200 pixels HEIGHT.

Along with your image, you can have 500 text characters, with a maximum of 5 lines of text.

The general idea for signatures is that the image (or combined images) shouldn't exceed 200 pixels in height. This is because sigs bigger than this can overtake the size of the actual post you make. As for the text, the board sets the 500 character limit, so we can't alter that one. It will automatically cut off anything longer.

Thanks for reading, and happy sig making!
