[old] New Signature and Avatar Restrictions
Dear Initiates,
In order to reduce the clutter, improve the flow, and better the readability of the forum, we have decided to limit avatar and signature dimensions and file sizes. We have been very loose with avatar and sig sizes, and some people have abused this freedom by taking them to extreme sizes. We decided to implement a clearly defined set of rules for the sigs and avatars so that there won't be any question about what is too big. Avatars will be no larger than 180x250 pixels, and 100KB is the maximum file size. We strongly encourage you to use as small of a size as possible. Avatars with huge widths are particularly causing problems. For signatures we recommend a size of 527x200 or smaller, but 527x350 pixels is the maximum size allowed. The maximum file size 150KB. Please remember that everyone has a different connection speed and uses different screen resolutions so what might seem insignificant on a Cable modem connection at 1600x1200 screen resolution will take a long time to load for 56K users, and everything will look much bigger on a resolution like 800x600. These restrictions are here to allow initiates to browse AHS more easily, so you'll be helping everyone if you could co-operate. Also keep in mind that you can always disable the display of sigs and/or avatars in the forum by changing a setting in your user control panel if you wish. If you have any questions about the new sig/avatar restrictions or anything else feel free to contact the staff anytime. If you need help resizing your signature or avatar the staff can help you with that as well. Summary of New Restrictions: Signature: 527x350, 150kb Avatar: 180x250, 100kb Thank you. AHS Staff |

Well, my images are 170X210, and 550X190 so I'll just have to make my sigs a LITTLE smaller, but that's good. I like small sigs.

I'm happy with the restrictions. Since I'm using 800x600 resolution, side scrolling all the time can get annoying!

I think the restrictions are well-made; though my connection is pretty fast and loading times don't bother me, it gets difficult looking for the actual text in the post through a sea of huge pictures.

It was a decision made by all of the staff members based on initiate feedback.

Felipe - the size includes any text etc... so it's big as one image, but not really if it's image + text.. etc.
