Jambo has asked that everyone have a sig file no larger than 50k bytes, which is very reasonable, IMO.
for those of you who are lost, that includes the entire sig file size including ALL pictures, not just the sig or each individual file.

That also goes for the overall physical size of it too. it's REALLY annoying to have to page down 4 times just to see two one line posts and 3 1/2 pages of sig file.
And this is on 1024 resolution on my computer, let alone anyone with a smaller monitor!!

for example, the text in my sig is under 1k, but my sig pic is about 13k.. that gives me a total sig file size of 14k.

the pic in my sig is more than large enough.. actually it's pretty durn big if you want to get down to it..
most boards don't allow sig files of over 10 or 15k.

Everyone PLEASE edit your sig files to an acceptable size.
if you need help editing pics, feel free to email me and I'll be glad to resize it and email it back to you.

Prinz, your sig pic doesn't work for some reason.. looks like an invalid filename.
as for the text, I would suggest jsut separating the stuff in the list with commas, instead of putting them on seperate lines.
try this:
'94 GXE, Charcoal
Future Mods: WarpSpeed Y Pipe & Cat-Back, K&N Filter, Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires, PIAA 1900x Foglights, PIAA SuperWhite 9004 Bulbs, Courtesy Strut Tower Brace, KYB or Tokico Struts, Eclipse 4441 Head Unit, GTS Headlight Blackout
Maybe.....
Kosei Seneca RG Rims on Dunlop SP Sport 9000 Tires

Canuck, the pic is actually 33k in size, and it could be cropped or just made smaller.. it takes up about a 1/2 page on my screen.

Tomo, that's just disgusting! no further comment!

guys, I'm not trying to sound *****y here.. this is just one of my pet peeves.. sometimes it takes me over 2-3 minutes just to load a single thread before I can read it.

Is that better?

you guys think mine is too big? I know it's fairly big, but I just like to have that info there since so many people ask about the rewires for lights and vtc and stuff like that so they can find it via my sig instead of having someone else ask every week or so

Andrew91SE

i dont know what your talking about?? hehe...mine is less then 50k

Brandon90gxe

lemme see how big mine is... hey its only 30k for the picture....

i think its not just the pic size matt...

i think its also when the same person replies in a thread and the sig is seen over and over again...i usally let my sig go up on my first post in a thread and for each subsequent post with in that thread i uncheck the show signature box...

Chris91SE

iTrader: (1)

like so...


and my sig is fuggen huge so i'll do something about that...

Matt93SE

iTrader: (44)

that's the incorrect usage of "then". You should use "than" in that situation.
Now to reply to your post: your file size may be less than 50k, but it's still ridiculously huge. I have absolutely ZERO desire to look at an essentially stock Maxima, especially one with poorly retouched graphics.

wanna see what I mean? take a look at this..
http://www.ee.utulsa.edu/~mblehm/stuff/screenshot.jpg

totally unacceptable, IMO.

Andrew91SE

i like my sig..when i take new pics, ill change it...its not even that big and those pics look tight....

Matt93SE

iTrader: (44)

that's strictly your opinion.
here's fact: you have one of the largest sig files of anyone that posts in these forums.. you're at least in the top 5%.
now for my opinion: those pics DON'T look "tight." the second one is okay, but the first one is crap, IMO. if you feel you must leave them both on your sig, then drop the size and put them side by side, please.


also note the "show signature" box just about the submit button.. in long threads, there's no need to constantly post your sig.. once or twice is ebough.

didn't i just say that

Matt93SE

iTrader: (44)

heheh well, I wasn't concerned with your posts because your sig is okay.. so I didn't read what you said.

My sig is actually pretty damn big. I play with it alot trying to make it smaller aswell.

And i often hit the "submit" button then say to myself "**** i forgot to hide my sig."
