[Batman]

thanks for your suggestions but too much work, I'll count on my high post count and Batman logo to get me respect

to get me respect

i never used pictures in my sig for any other reason than to help accessing inforamtion / pages more easily.

all else is useless for me.



@ admin

make sure to announce when you want the new picture resolutions to be followed.

This is the problem with a lot of forum members. High post counts tend to be taken too seriously. Members with far fewer posts (but with comparative or better post quality) deserve no less respect.

I didn't mean for my comments to be taken seriously, hence the use of the emoticon. Post counts and flashy signatures are irrelevant

That's good.

@Admin: along with having a graphic limit, you should set a character limit too, since mine is getting wild and unruly :-þ

I mean it is good that you got links to UncasMS's site because there is such a demand for stuff ther3e but I get what ya mean. How many characters? would 100-150 be enough?

Was just notified of this new rule but am a bit unclear. Look at the pics in my sig and tell me what I need to do to make them compliant. Am I supposed to make them both 240x50?

[SKD_Tech]

Yes you do because what happens it makes the site run slower, Also it makes threads load much longer and it makes page length so much longer after you post a couple times in the thread. Please change them to the specified diminsions(sorry about the typo)

Ok. I'm a serious graphics newbie but I dabble a bit. Sorta blindly hehe. Anyway I used Adobe Image Ready 7.0. All I did was load up my original images, change the image size. I changed the settings to no dither and color to auto (This seemed to really shrink the file size for itchy and scratchy).

My problem right now is that the new images seem to have more white than before. Like certain things are outlined in white. For instance, the original itchy and scratchy had black lines to show the movement of their mallets. Now it's a white kinda smudge.

Any help?

Oh and reason I asked about the dimensions is that it seemed to me that by making the images 240x50 I was actually increasing their size. That is what was confusing to me.

[SKD_Tech]

240 is the width and 50 is the height. You have it backwards

About the whiteness it looks OK to me no effect is shown besides the resize on my computer I will get the image and see what I can do

How can I put links in signatures? How many posts are required before adding links to signatures?

[Derree]

I never even thought of that, maybe I should get rid of mine?

[admin]

It's alright, this rule is mainly for new users, and the forum prevents signatures anyway until certain conditions are met.
