The signature size li'mits have finally been normalized! Here are the new guidelines:

• Only one signature I'mage per sig
  
• Max. I'mage size: 500x200
  
• Max. amount of text: 5 lines [reasonable font sizes, please]
  
• No quote/code boxes

These are only the guidelines - we won't mind if your sig is a bit off from these, but having 2 signatures/loads of text/huge text font *pokes cataliste* won't be tolerated...
Big signatures not only requires a high speed connection and a lot of bandwidth, but can be plain annoying when someone's sig takes up half of your screen...

To everyone with non-compliant sigs: you have 48 hours from now on [11:36PM GMT+1] to edit your signatures. If you don't, action will be taken.

NOTE: We are not going to warn for violations of these, except for a few very rare cases, so don't worry

I hate it when someone's sig takes your entire screen up. It's gay. Nice rules though, should be helping those with dialup.

I like my signature how it is! You wont touch it.

It was the same as the other one except for having a different mumber (2 instead of 3 or in reverse)

Out of interest why can't we have quote boxes?

Because the EVIL quote boxes are BIG... even if they have little text in them

[Stephen]

No, becuase your a little crybaby blackhawk.


EDIT: If sigs use too much bandwith freaking disable them.

You're pushing your luck...

And it's not the problem of OUR bandwidth but the members' bandwidth...

[Kimoflea]

Calm, calm... and for these guidelines. aking codex a prettier place

[Stephen]

Pushing my luck? OOOOOOOOO, so scared.

I never said codex's bandwith, I just said to turn the sigs off if you dont like them. It's really not a big fuss.

[Noitidart]

yeah if the sigs are huge the ppl with dial up will have a hard ti'me navigating around codex

[Stryyp]

Does that mean I have to take my power of doom out of my sig?

[xx_WLT_xx]

Ahh, is my sig big? Do I have to change it?

[Dominate]

Lol. You have two sigs yourself. But anyway... I can't make sigs, so I really can't complain about putting effort into making them and then not being able to use them, which is what I assume this whole disbecausesion is about.

I HAD to use dialup for about 2 months (dsl-->dsl transition.... argh), so I know how it incredibly sucks... and loading all these I'mages takes ti'me, and in many countries you pay for dialup for ti'me spent (quite a lot, too)


And for those that want something else beside a signature I'mage in their sig: just align it to the right of your current sig so it doesn't take up the vertical space...

[Hanneh]

I bet mine is too big Damnit. I have dialup....and its not that slow.

[BlackHawk]

Amazingly it complies with the rules :blink:

[Hanneh]

Yay *dance*

[Noitidart]
