    I just wanted to throw up a quick guideline about signatures, and specifically pictures. Since there hasn't been a rule about it, people seem to be confused about how big or small pictures can be.

    What works best are images that are no bigger in either way than 800x110 px.

    Example:
    signature2.png

    Much taller and they can be distracting and take away from forum browsing, and keeping it to around 100 pixels tall allows for some text without being overly long.

    I've been messaging (and will message) those whose signatures are a bit too cumbersome. If you think your signature is too long, feel free to ask.

    Also: It might be best if we try to aim to keep our signatures at a maximum length around 150 px tall. For reference, mine is about 120 px tall.

    Nice that you've straightened that out. It will avoid a lot of confusion.

    Yeah, @Airless, the dark part makes your image seem smaller so it's okay lol. (If I remember right, your height is 119)

    One more good website: www.befunky.com - I JUST used this to remake my avatar (it was a little too blurry for my tastes). Even this uploaded blurry at first, and I quickly made it very crisp and appealing.

    I think this is a good idea. If there are no guidelines for sigs things get out of hand fast

    We all saw proof of that on the other forum. Too many people went overboard with the text and colors.

    Your animations are subtle and you make gratuitous use of whitespace. Always good guidelines to follow :3
