Width of the signature

Postby Nya-chan Production » Mon May 25, 2009 4:36 pm

I am aware that this might be not necessary, but...

Has anyone thought about making the size limit for banners larger in the horizontal mean?
I know that 600 pixels wide is pretty enough for the most of the people, but I also think that it was supposed mainly to keep the forums nice when they weren't fullscreen as they are now (or was it?). And those signatures are somewhat small when I look at them compared to the screen.
And while I know that there are people with 800x600 and 1024x768 screens, I also know that this minimum shifted up today and that said percent of users is fairly small (or so I think - is there a way to find out that info on forums? :> ).

So... will this be reconsidered? I would be for 800x80 (that 80 thing is a nice height and totally useful, might me)... but it's just a proposal...

Lets see her response. And as for mine, I don't really care. I'd say don't do it, since it's not really necesarry.

it could be a nice idea, but I don't really have much of a signature anyway, so i don't care much

I'm pretty sure the sig restrictions were put in place at a time when the majority of people on the internet were using dial-up and they were trying to limit the number of things that had to be loaded on a screen at once. I wouldn't really care since I don't use sig images that much, but I don't see anything wrong with upping the size.

I don't really care if it changes so long as it remains reasonable. What I don't want is to see posts wherein the signature is 10 times the length of the actual post. The forums that allow that irritate me to no end. >_>

(Yes, I realize the first post had a reasonable size, 800x80...I'm just sayin'.)

Clearly, you can see how much I use the signature space. :P

Same here, though I am more bothered by forums which have people talking in single words and having 1000x1000 siggies... >___>

Reasonability is a must, I agree...

That said~

Nice ava, care to link me the original (I guess it's from KS forums, right?)?

THINK OF THE DIAL-UP USERS! THINK OF US ;_;

Truthfully I don't see the need to increase signature dimensions, after all they should really only inform users of what new AMVs you made or contain links to useful/interesting sites. I don't see how making them any larger would help that, other than make them more obvious (which I don't really think is required)

Here ya go; I pulled it off Shimmie, which is KS's image board.

http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/v ... rch=hanako

That link is safe, but bear in mind the rest of Shimmie can be NSFW.

Plus some people tend to go overboard with their sigs...on some sites, a person will have a one word post and that have a half page worth of sigs which gets annoying to scroll through...

600x80 = 6 x 200x40 banners
800x80 = 8 x 200x40 banners

The improvement = 33%

I say again, that's why I am for the keeping of the 80 pixel limit, so the scrolling stays the same, unbroken.

There seems to be quite a bit of a difference, but like the others I don't really care much of the outcome.

-_- Apologies, I should read more. Well, open mouth, insert foot =|

The 800x80 image breaks window and makes the posts boxes uneven on my screen.

That looks pretty nice with my monitors resolution.

Yeah, just like the rest, Im cool with the current size but I wouldn't complain if the size was upped some.
If it does get approved, I think the 600x80 would work the best because the 800x80 does stretch the table.
