We have noticed that as time goes on, we have been letting the rules slide a bit & that signature sizes seem to have doubled and tripled from the original rules (which was 250x250).
From now (25/01/08 ) signature sizes are asked to be limited to 3 tickers or 1- 2 tickers with a pic no bigger than 450x200 or the equivalent (this new enlarged size still allows those who make their sigs with photoshop etc- a decent size pic to work with).
We will give current members until the end of February to check that their signatures are within size, then if they are found to be larger than that we will unfortuantely have to delete.
All new members from now- who's signatures are too big will get a pm from a moderator to let them know their signatures are too big, then will be given 2 weeks to correct the size.
(To check the sig of the pics in you signature- simply right click on the picture- then choose properties- then it will show you the dimensions of the pic.)
Thanks for your cooperation. Hi Everyone! I am just bumping this up to send out a friendly reminder in regards to signatures. As stated in these guidelines your signatures are to be either 3 tickers or 1-2 tickers with a pic no bigger than 450x200.
There are a few signatures with excessive tickers and very large photos, and while these are adorable and we love looking at them as much as you love sharing them, we need to think about our members who are on slower internet speeds - just like loads of photos, big signatures do clog things up and slow everything right down.
Can I ask for everyone over the next couple of weeks to double check your sigs and make sure they fit the guidelines. After this members will receive a PM to fix them up. If you have any questions regarding any of this please PM me.
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.Mama to 3 gorgeous boys Cole ~ 18 May, 2007 Cooper ~ 17 August, 2009 Hudson ~ 25 February, 2011
