Bear in mind signatures have to be 120 pixels high maximum. One complaint we received allot for the old forums was from users with low screen resolutions. The old sigs made it very hard for them to view the forums.

If you're looking for a good application to shrink sigs down i'd reccomend Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) I love it :)

I finally have a signature I love and I had to shrink it ..which it now looks like pixilated crap ... cause it was 166 pixels high. *sigh* ... I'm not happy. And yes ..I used Infranview.

Hi Blackrazor. I took the liberty of taking your sig and softened it out some. It may not look as good as the original full size image, but it does have a smoother look than what you currently have.(that's the problem with shrinking images... no matter how you go about it, they always seem to lose something)

If you could post up the full size image, I can smooth it out first and then then shrink it to the desired size... that may look better.

I tried that already, Sally, but since the font in the original sig was rather pixeled, it didn't look good. But I have an offer that BR cannot refuse... [/Marlon Brando voice]

I can't download irfanviewer here at work, and I don't have internet at home. Would someone mind shrinking my sig for me?

Thanks, Little Buddy. I've been feeling naked and furless without my sig... now if I can find an avatar...

[Tarkenchi]

Want me to get the "oww tarky hit me" avatar back for you? or another? :chuckle:

irFanview is fancy for the rudimentary stuff, but I've yet to find any free(and some not free) software that can resize without pixelization as good as the GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/), it works really great for upscaling with minimal pixelizingness, probably even better downscaling.

[Larke]

you mean not everyone has photoshop?
no really...
how do you make the image and not size it properly?

[Larke]

and also with that... I can resize anyone's signature :)

[Esbat]

[Larke]

*bops Tarkenchi*
dude! its 150, plus I made it for another board and forgot the 120 here...

[Esbat]

120 is the limit, ma'amselle... besides I fixed it so use that one instead. ;)


Thank you. :cool:

[Larke]

already fixed it, and its already up, doesn't look much diff does it, cause 30 px isn't that big of a difference! :P ;)

hehe, I got admin smacked by Inde for a 1 pixel over height, that annoyed the crap out of me because i didn't have photoshop installed and it was my transparent mugen.

[WingedAvenger]

I realize the max height limit is 120, but is that just for pics only? I've seen several people around around with sigs much taller than that due to text. *cough*Tark*cough*

*smack* Its suppose to be 120, or 4 lines of text, yes, i am violating... *sigh* But so are alot of people.

there, happy? :grr:

[WingedAvenger]

Happy? Nah, I don't care what your sig is. You're right about there being a lot of violators though. I suppose the rule is in place just for show and not really enforced. Good to know for the future. ;)
