Signature Size

[ambergris]

According to the FAQ sig sizes cannot exceed 300pixel H & 600pixel W but my sig won't enlarge to anything close to that.

Am I missing something?

if its smaller than those dimensions then you have no problem - its when you exceed it that looks bad.

Not sure I understand. Why wouldn't my sig be as large as yours or others I've seen if I use the required formula?

The sig inserter automatically scales it down to the current size.

If I try remote, I'm told it's too large when clearly it is not.

I'm so confused.

Gotta be smarter than the interwebz...

If your sig is BIGGER than 300 x 600: It should rescale, or an admin / mod will force it's change.

If your sig is SMALLER than 300 x 600: It will NOT resize at all.

So if you put in an image, like the one you have - that's 240 x 100, then it will not resize to get bigger. Because it's under the maximum size, it will remain the same.

You can't put in a tiny image and expect it to blow up.
Not only would that look like sh;t, it wouldn't even be comprehensible.

You would pixelate the crap out of it and stretch it to ungodly proportions.
It would look like a mess. It would look like Jak made you a sig. -giggles-

what required formula? and if you use a remote image, it shouldn't give you a problem at all, that's when you use the image tags - if you use the "sig uploader" then it limits the size.

Formula being the the correct pixel size.

My problem though is getting the kb size down to that measly 9.

upload your sig to your profile's album or something and then just link it using the image tags

go into usercp >> pictures and albums (on right side) >> then add album >> then upload pictures >> click on that picture and on the bottom you will get a little BB code

copy and paste that bb code into your signature area and save.

Now see, that was extremely helpful. Thank you LiNuX very much.
