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!

Yes, I just saw that! Looks awesome.

Thanks for all the examples and advice, Louie! I really appreciate it.

Thx! The text ended up being too small. My humor is lost... Thx for the tip.

It looks like the text for your name is one size too large, and you definitely have too much text beneath your picture .

I'm SOOOOO glad this issue is finally being dealt with! Continually scrolling past absurdly large signatures was tiresome and annoying, and that doesn't even take into account how much time they took to load.

Kudos to the Ledge admins and moderators!!!

no pictures over 200 pixels in height in signatures


What about the width? I need a number? Telling me no larger than size #4 makes no sense to me. I need a pixel width please?

It was already said that width isn't an issue, as the main concern is loading spead and expanse of the page covered. Width doesn't affect any of that, as long as it isn't so wide that it causes the forum page to stretch horrible. As for height in pixels, it was already said in an earlier post that 200 pixels was the goal number.

Like Bee said, there are no limitations on picture width. We are aiming for wide pictures in signatures, not tall. This makes it easier to scroll through threads.

The font size limitation is size 4. When you go to post a message, there is a pull down menu with font sizes. There are sizes 1-7. Nothing larger than size 4 is permitted... that's pretty self explanatory and straightforward

will one of you guys make me a sig photo with pictures of Stevie on the final leg of the WH tour? That's my favorite.

I actually didn't want to change the rules at all because of you. I know you like large, high resolution graphics in all of the posts.

I do! I love to scroll and scroll and scroll, all the while musing on my foul fate!

Wait till you see the sig Peter MacMan made for me of the late-leg Wild Heart tour. It's small but fab.

[michelej1]

You're very lucky. Peter used to make incredible banners, merging several high resolution images that just jumped off the screen at you. Those were great.
