Good Morning,
I have been receiving complaints over the last 3 months about the number and size of the images in people’s signature lines. We ask that you adhere to the specifications below. We will begin contacting members via private message if the size is not reduced in a timely manner.
Many have asked for the reasons since these images are not hosted by Collectors Universe. One reason is that not everyone is on cable, DSL or T1's. The larger the image the longer the time it takes to load the pages. I have personally experienced some issues loading pages in the past and I'm not using dial- up. Another reason is that excessive images clutter the post which is a common complaint to me internally as well as externally. If you are close to what we have requested below, we'll let it go.
200 x 400 and no larger than 20k.
If you image is too large you will be asked to remove or reduce the image size.
We will ask once and if you do not comply, we will remove your entire signature line from your account. If that doesn't work we will deactivate your account.
Please take a moment to see if your pics match up with the sizes listed above.
If you do not know how to reduce the image size, please ask your fellow forum members. Many are quite knowledgeable and helpful.
Thank you,
Carol

I have personally asked several members (even started a thread) and many people were outright defiant to be courteous.
Thank you again.
thank God!!
<< <i>I believe BOTH of your pics individually are larger than the rule.
thank God!! >>
They are...I PM'ed him and informed him they combine for over 120k, with one at 98k, the other at 30k, and got no response.
<< <i>Carol, it's a good rule. Glad it's being enforced now. (Wish it was this past summer.) >>
So do I. And skiptomylou11, your sig pics are a perfect example of what is not acceptable.
"Your signature is over 120k (it has to be under 20) and far exceeds the dimensions listed. "
to which he so insightfully replied:
"must you cry about everything? Yeesh take a break for a minute "
Why is that such a big deal?
<< <i>If it's a little too large, they have alread said that's ok. >>
huh? what's the purpose of having a clearly stated rule then?
<< <i>If you are close to what we have requested below, we'll let it go. >>
Her words, not mine.
I think the intent is to eliminate outright abuse.
when asked about "combined photo size" in siglines over on the Open Forum (in other words, can I have 2 or 3 small photos if they are small enough?)
Carolj responded with a simple straight forward answer that Skiptomylou will Not like....................
read it yourself -

Of course, I was in high school at the time, but it's nice to see some of you keeping up the tradition. Fight the power.
<< <i>I used to put funny quotes and pictures in my e-mail signature. It was wicked cool. Some profound quote, or a witty joke, or a neat-o picture of my most favorite sports team.

<< <i>Why doesn't the website have a limit to the size of the scan that can be put in? Remove everyone's signature scan, and have them re enter it with the new limit. If the limit don't fit, a new scan they must pick. >>
If it doesn't fit you must resubmit?

because you can link to pics that are posted from outside this site. They can be any size that the hosting site allows.
