I mean no insult or argument (Seriously), as I agree with the new standards - 600k avatars are just rude - but what about how fonts are different on different computers? Or will that be given some slack due to possible differences?

Dun worry, I'm not here to mock you or upset you. I rather have a banner about the size mine is now, and will eventually get to cutting a few frames from my avatar or using another one.

When do these standards begin to be enforced?

We intended to give everyone about a week to get used to the idea before enforcing the limits. Expect implementation to begin this weekend.

Btw, in case it wasn't clear, 'signature' means everything in your signature, including bunchies, text, etc. It's not only the banner.

I thought the sig standard already was, since I noticed my sig a few days ago was a bit less longer.

Correct, but that trial is only effective in one layout. Most of the initiates have not been affected by it.

She means a style (like ekko or Rainbow). I use ekko, so I suppose that's the style that it was tested on so far.

Thanks for the info. But my question was considering on different computers, the text size can be different, will there be leway for those who might be a bit larger via the text? I'm not worried, I think your standards are pretty generous, I'm just trying to help avoid problems.

I think that you can specify the size of your flash in the HTML. It is indeed cut off, but maybe there's a way you can make it squish it a bit?

I did edit the html to 525... does it show up ok in other styles? To me, it looks ok (altho slightly reduced), but I'm not sure what you mean by that when I see it fine...

The limit is 527x350 for everyone. Making exceptions would get too complicated and would be unfair.

You didn't really seem to answer my question, and seem to have missed the point the last two times I asked. I'm just trying to help avoid possible problems by bringing up something I see that could arise from this.

My Question:
From computer to computer, the size of text can be different. Are you going to take that into account, and give people some leway, because the text size may be different when figuring out if their banner + text is within limits?

No. The restrictions are the same for everyone.

The sigs will be limited automatically by VB. It uses the HTML/VB codes you input as your sig and determines how much space a sig takes up. Regardless of how your computer displays text, the sigs are limited based on what you put in the HTML/VB codes themselves.

527x350 will look different depending on what screen resolution you have, but it's still the same 527x350 pixels. If you decide to use huge text you can't fit as much if you decided to use small text.

Luna... im not entiruely sure what u mean either. "From computer to computer, the size of text can be different." yeah we are going to take that into account - the size of text is relative to the screen resolution, just like pics are. i hope that solves the problem here

Thanks to both of you for your answers! ^_^ That's actually really cool how the forum software can figure that out with the text, too! I do understand different screen resolutions, so I dun mean the physical size of the text on the screen, but how different people's settings can make the text a different size could affect the rule.

I'm a geek, so the tech answer still fascinates me. ^_^ Dun worry, I'm not planning on pushing it. I rather like my banner size anyway. Arigatou ne!
