Please keep sig pics a reasonable size

BarryBarry Posts: 10,100 ✭✭✭
What's reasonable, you ask?

The forum moderator says 400x200 in this thread.

    I have not seen anyone with an outrageous sig pic. I hear this come up all the time but have yet to see any.. Would you mind telling me someone?

    I don't want to pick on any one individual, but one that comes to mind is a group of 4 Lincolns that fills about 1/4 of the screen.

    I'm asking the same question.

    I have to agree with Barry. Some sig lines are a bit hefty.

    Thank goodness I don't use dial-up anymore. Big sig lines used to drive me crazy.

    Doesn't bother me, I enjoy seeing those lincolns. I think its pretty petty to even let a little thing like that bug you...

    But you are correct about the rules so your point is considered.


  • << <i>I don't want to pick on any one individual, but one that comes to mind is a group of 4 Lincolns that fills about 1/4 of the screen. >>




    Each pic is 200x200, which is well within the rules.

    For what it's worth:

    CoinAddict your pic size is 400 X 260 and jsnruf yours is 455 X 179. Doesn't matter to me either wayimage Just providing information.

    Edited to add: The pics in my sig line are each 200 X 99 and no more than 14 KB. If these are offensive to anyone let me know and I'll remove them.image

    Each pic is 200x200, which is well within the rules.

    and yet each is appx 79k, which is not within the rules.

    On the sig pic issue, as on the BST ttt issue, people should use common sense and courtesy...

    why is that so difficult to understand for some people?

  • Who cares what size, I mean yea huge is no good, but I have'nt seen one that bothers me...I think the memorial one is nice, and the welcome to the suck is fine...

    well that's my vote, not that it counts much in this country
  • robertprrobertpr Posts: 6,862 ✭✭✭
    I would not be opposed to a NO pic in the sigline rule. There's no load time issue for me but I do understand for those on dialup what the issue is.

    I remember back to the days of 300 baud modems, then the 14.4k's came out and they were fast, then the 33.8's, then the *woah* 56K!!

    It is not as common as it should be.

    For those of you wondering how big your pics are, just put your mouse cursor over the pic, right click it, then left click on Properties. This works in IE and Firefox. I can't vouch for others.

  • ldhairldhair Posts: 7,212 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It's really easy to check your sig size.
    Right click on your sig image in any post.
    Click properties. It's all there.image

  • Is that better?

    Greg - excellent job being flexible, non-defensive and cooperative about the size of your signature line pics. Many others would not be so good or mature about it.image

    True Mark.

    I was pondering purposely loading a 1MB image to mine for the evening.

    Thanks for the compliment Mark. At first I was a little defensive, but when I thought about it and I saw the results of my poll I decided to change it.image

  • This one is half the size...Is this a big quality jump do you think?

    As a PDA user I agreeimage
    Need something designed and 3D printed?
  • orevilleoreville Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭✭
    DickyBetz: Looks much better. No problem also enclosing a link for those of us who can't see as well as we used too and need to see the senior citizen version! image

    Also, I never thought of the PDA's which have very small screens. I am thinking of getting one. Man, oh man, they NEED small pics!

    By the way, now that your coins look smaller the overall look of the toning on the cents actually look more impressive since they are now closer to the actual size of the cent.

    DickyBetz,

    Your sig line actually looks better now than before. Great job!

    I'd prefer it if sig pics were deleted.

    Isit only coin collectors that have time to "discuss" issues like this?

    Oh, crap, I've been sucked in... I'm actually responding image

    The images are too large. The huge amount of empty space is also a bit annoying.

    Done. Had to drop a cone but its done.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
