I think the 25 word limit is a bit extreme (my own signature, which I think is probably the most non-offensive one ever, violates this rule, so I removed it). But the gigantic ones, with the browser-crashing photos, are a bit much.

I'm with the rule change, but I do think it is a wee bit excessive. Is mine even within the rules? I don't like the massive signatures either, so I'm definitely with the change in that respect.

Bee, your signature is just fine in my book.

Mark, your signature was very compact... I don't see a problem with you bringing it back. It's not like you had huge pictures, oversized text, links, and youtube videos in addition to your text.

I totally understand why this is being enforced, but the current site restrictions - I couldn't even read the text in the banners once they were sized to the specs...

Are you talking about the text you have overlaid ON your picture? I don't care what size the text is ON your picture, just so long as the picture itself isn't over 200 pixels in height (yours is 225 pixels high, by the way... so it's just barely too large according to the new rules).

This is text size 4... the largest size allowed by the new signature rules. If you can't read this, perhaps you need to adjust your monitor resolution or zoom?

Just the "banners" I've made before, when I resized them either the text overlay or the picture was too small to see. Eh, no biggie. I'm a novice with all that anyway and just killing time when I do make 'em.

I have a suggestion for you... make your banners much wider vs worrying about height. For instance, look at this one:



I think it's very artsy and cool. It's got text, it's got atmosphere, and it's got Stevie's face. Give your creativity an isometric workout and experiment with wider banners like the one above!

Here are some more great examples of what would be very acceptable:

I just pulled them off the internet. Do a google picture search for "Fleetwood Mac banner" or "Stevie Nicks banner" etc and see what you can find. There are some really cool ones out there. Or make one yourself if you're artistic!

I didn't know if you wanted the first or second vid... so I chose the second vid for you. Let me know if you want it changed .

FYI: If anyone needs help with their signatures, just let me know. I can resize your pics, upload them into your signature, help with fonts, etc.
