We will be implementing a new signature rule. All signature pictures must be no BIGGER than 600wx150h and 40KB TOTAL. You can have more than one pic but it better not exceed 600wx150h or 40KB COMBINED.

To see if your signature picture is within size limit, just right click on your picture. Go to Property, and you will see the dimension of the picture along with the size. 1000 bytes = 1KB. So the picture better not exceed 40,000 Bytes.

You will have 3 days to change your signature picture. After that we will give warnings or straight out edit your profile.

The main reasons why I am doing this is because I'm hearing a lot about AsiaFinest loading slower and slower. Mainly due to the ever growing signature pictures. There is still a lot of 56k dial up and AOL dial up users.

Also we will also be enforcing the avatar rule now. All avatar must be 15kb and under!

aww... that sucks... stupid 56k users.....j/k

ahh so cruel

*burning my old banner*

DA chinese !!! your sig. is too big!!!!

great the first day i decide to put a pic on my sig, then a new rule.....................cheeeeeeeeeeeeer

Double posts, delete one of them plz.
And good thing i dont have a sig,hahahaha

Hehe mine fits...good old Kulong and the DZH banners.

No it don't.. it's over 50kb.

damn man...... this gonna send shockwaves across AF FORUM and back.... mine is way over....

This is my old sig.. I love my new one though

hey Hy send ure new 1 to me
i can resize it for u so it fits.

so your saying if it is under 40k but the dimensions are larger - its still ok

"not exceed 600wx150h or 40KB COMBINED"

or do you mean both


@Nung1 - this means more business for the image shop haha

aite I have my new sig now

thanks Nung !! *hugs*

maybe a mod should pin this topic cause its slowly slipping down the list

Ben.. Can the members of AF vote on this issue?

lol i think Ben has made a final stand (for the good of the forum offcourse)

awww..... Would I be in trouble if I create a poll in the forum asking if we should have this rule?

create it in offtopic section for now.IMO

the rules has been set already, unless you have a VERY GOOD reason for me not to do this... I highly doubt I will not go with what we have now.

^tru but the forum members should be able to voice their opinions on the matter.

yes sir!!! well bye anuwat!!!!!

lucky i read this other wise i would've got a warning

eh i'm all for it.. i'm surprised you didnt have it before. I was actually going to bring it up to you but eh i was lazy. Big signatures get annoying

does this meet guideline:



just wanna make sure.. cuz im allergy to warnings

when I right-click mine, for size it says "unavailable"
how about maximun pixel size?

yea it meets the guidelines

^
YES!!!

all good

i agree with you...

No it doesn't. It's too long in height. Max 150. Your is 220+

smacks head* wow we being picky...lol

anyways try this one on for size!

haha! everyone will be tilting their heads from now on! coool

hehe no fun cutting of the fun half way.

tis cool. me going to create nice banner. ne af slut want to give me ya naked pics?

go stand in front of a mirror with a camera @$$hole.

This is seriously going to create alot of drama.... i knowtice alot of people having over size banner......

OKAY i don't know about other MODS, but as for me, i am giving all members 3days to change there sign if it is over size.
Anyone refuse to change it after 3days

I wont warn them but i will periodicly go though members list (Active and inactive) and remove all that are against the rules with out notice.
i figure it's easier than giving a warning.

Aww...this stinkies......I'll remove my banner anways...

Nice Nice... It takes me generally (2 mins+) to load a page cuz of all the sig's. The thing that annoys me is that the sigs always load be4 any pictures posted. When i load threads like "Hot girls" i usualy get disconnected -_-

mwhahahaha

i dont think the probem is coming from the sigs but from the animated avatars. Like mine for example Those things can go up to 500k

limit on the avatars is 15k..... and please dont dble post..

WHY!?!?!??!!!!!!!!!?????????

oh well im fine

You guys really need to get broadband.

56K wasn't made for todays internet.

Anyway, i compressed my sig, it's 17.5 kb now.

...i better go check..

! just on of my sig that are 160X100 is already 50000 and up.. wth.. this suckz... ..

I uploaded yours, don't let my 3 seconds of work go to waste !

geez Ben is 40k a lil small? and besides I know we catter to EVERYONE, but how many 56k users are there?

I've created a thread to find out how many 56k / broadband users are there...

Check it out in the off topic section...

already voted. so far we only got 1 user that claims to 56k
