Please note, signature size guidelines are in the process of being developed. Please read the thread below to follow the progress:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=24724

I was kinda wondering about that lately.

HA! 600x253px

Yeah! 600 x 200...I got 50 pixels to spare (or 3000, depending on your math)

598x202 - maybe I should blow it up a bit

(removed)!!! awesome idea.

Let's not forget that just because you have a huge monitor and a video card capable of displaying extreme resolutions doesn't mean everyone who visits the site will have that capability as well. Most probably do not. Here right now, this monitor will not go above 1024x768. I still personally find the 600 width to be excessive. The 200 height is fine. If the window isn't maximized, all you're seeing is someone's signature. The only resolution I'm comfortably able to view this site with the signatures on is on my Mac at home which is something like 1280x1024 on my LCD. Anything less and I have to turn off the sigs.

Is this better? 468x197px

So I have a question.... I am wondering if my present sig pic is going to be too large... just got it too... might need a little help on how to resize the darned thing if needed.

On some machines with lower resolution settings, that would fill the entire screen!

Ha! mine is 512 X 384 pix.! i barely made it..... i think....

I see you're using Photobucket... If you log into your album, you can do it the quick and dirty albeit unprecise way there:Find the picture in your album, then click the edit button. If it is 640x480 originally, you'll either want 25% which will give you a 160x120 image, or 50% which is 320x240. Once you've clicked the percentage you want to resize, you can click the Resize button.I've resized your image for you though... This is scaled down to 267x200. The file size also dropped from 111 kb to 31 kb too, good deal. I don't know if you use Windows what to tell you to use as far as applications go, I only use Windows at work so I don't have any recommendations. I use The GIMP for working with all of my images, it's a great, free, open source tool that works wonderfully on many platforms, but it's a little out there and isn't the easiest to use. Although I can figure it out better I can Photoshop. Hopefully someone can chime in with some suggestions on what you can use if you want to try this schtuff yourself.

damn... oh well it wont hurt to resize it.i use windows at home and a mac g4 and an imac at school. so ill get it done asap.i the program i use is PS and/or paintshop pro.*Edit* Sig has been resized.

ughhh!! I can't get it to resize, so I'll take it down for now.. so frustrating! Thanks for trying to help this non-technologically advanced girl out!

ColonelPanic resized yours for you, and it is attached to his reply above. So all you need to do is just change the image to that one and you should be good.

Thanks! I hadn't realized that! thanks for the help colonelpanic

I just made a new one for the fun of it since everyone was talking about this and I needed a new one anyways!

We don't need no steeeeeenkin' guidelines!Nevermind... yes we do

you just gotta let us know. i'm due for a new sig soon, so as soon as i know the dimensions, i can get to work.

ok i'm changing mine

I've been meaning to shorten mine alittle.

I'm promoting our lifesaving work on the Computing Grid for Genvibe!

So since the topic of siggies came up, and I got photoshop elements for my birthday I decided to make one up.

Ok updated my sig, had to shrink it just a lil, used to be 600 x 286 now its within regs

i didn't realize you all had signatures! (i love the 'sigture off' feature!)

dude, you're not implying that those who don't like them turn them off are you? come on, what's next? asking people to not read topics they don't like? i shrunk mine down to be within specs, but it still looks big on screen, what's up with that?

I am guilty but at least I am not the only one! I will still have one though! Guaranteed!

i dunno, i used photoshop, and according to the file, it's 372x200

I got 187 x 250 using Image Cave.

looks to me like you got squat todd.

Got a good one now thanks to my friend ZubenElGenubi! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am compliant now so look out!

Way to go! For some reason, I like the looks of the smaller one better anyway. It looks sharper.

Yeah thanks! It did come at a cost though, Zuben gets to drive it when he comes to Michigan...

If a ride in your Vett is what it took to make you a new sig then Ill have to make you several!

Quote, originally posted by Katscan »If a ride in your Vett is what it took to make you a new sig then Ill have to make you several!OK! Honestly though, having the rear tires break traction when you hammer the gas in second gear really is not that fun after awhile, so you are not missing much. At any rate, my passenger seat is always open my friend!

Yeah...I'm thinkin' shotgun will be a better option for me! Wish I had PS up here..I'd knock out those cars in the background...

That's just wrong... on soooo many levels. Be careful, the Vette guys will find you, flog you, and take your lunch money.
