Avatar / Signature Size

[VB]

hi KLBoard Members,

i want to remind you of one very important rule of this forum: Max Signature Size ( especially the image sizes ).

Signatures will be restricted in size and content. Signatures may not excede a 500x150 pixel area, this includes all images and text used. The total file size for all images contained in a signature may not excede 100,000 bytes. Signatures that do not comply may be removed or edited by a moderator or administator.

- max 500x150 Pixels (w x h)
- max 100 KB ( for ALL Images Together )


Also Avatar Size seems to be a problem atm .. 300 KB for a 80x80 big picture is inacceptable.

Please check that the size of your avatar image and your signature images are under 100 KB ( Together ) !

Why ?

- speed
- readability
- we also have 56K/ ISDN Users

Signatures and Avatars that do not comply may be removed or edited by a moderator or administator.

That's what we are going to do now ...

bye

Good point VB - and i hope you dont get any bad feedback on this. Just hope they can accept the rules.

lol
these were probably imposed in large part because of me and I have accepted them
I am VERY glad to see the change to 495x150

I have modified my avatar and signature pictures to comply with the new rules. I was only over by a bit. It took quite a lot of work to make things smaller, so I hope this rule is enforced this time.

Edit: To say my total is 99.3 KB o

That was useful information
Thanks VB
I am sure alot of users will have to scale down avators more
than sigs...
I have seen quite a few large ones(no comments)
It is only fair as said...
even on my fast connection pages load slow..

Look at the top of your page, it's all included in Important Links.

:-) I don't have to worry much.
Looks like the rule is getting enforced too B)
GREAT JOB!

lol
so is myne ok, its 406X126 i think. and tell us what you think of it after
all it took me 5 minutes of my very important tim eto make it so it better be good!
i solely agree to these rules its so annoying when they have giant picts in their signatures,
hopefully everyone will respect this rule. i have a reasonably fast ADSL connection and pages run load
fast but its still freaking annoying when the pics are huge and take up the whole dang page

I wasnt sure how big my great self-posing-guitar-slinging avatar was, so i made a new one.
Also checked my signature, they are TOGETHER 77k.

Cheers
