His Grimlyness did such a good job with this post that I wanted to remind everyone that tommorow we will start posting warnings for signature size infractions, Please either get with a comp savvy friend and have siggy sizes reduced to within allowances or be ready for a notice at some point tommorow.
Dont make us work, we wannna enjoy DPF just like you!!!!!
Thank you, and now on with the original post!!!!









Grim's Ruler - Properly sized signatures
Why does it seem I'm always making the mean posts lately? Just because I'm "Grim" doesn't mean my posts need to be! I need to make a happy announcement soon....

Signatures have gotten out of hand lately. Okay, they've been out of hand for awhile. So, we're starting to crack down. Starting next week, we will start issuing violations for oversized signatures. Are you one???? Check out the guidelines below:

- Graphics in signatures must not exceed 225 pixels vertically. While Horizontal size is not technically an issue, we recommend 650 pixels. For those that are computer illiterate, here is an example of a properly sized graphic:

- Graphics (usually) cannot be stacked in a signature. This happens when multiple graphics are placed in one signature. The only time graphics are allowed to be stacked is if they are no more than 225 pixels cumulative.

- While GIFs are allowed, please avoid flashy seizure-esque graphics.


We will start cracking down on signature violations starting next week, allowing sometime for those of you to redesign, or resize your signature. If you need help, please ask a helpful local computer savvy friend, or check out this informative post if you have photoshop:

March 30th - Announcement made
April 6th - Warnings will start going out for oversized signatures
April 13th - Infractions will start going out for oversized signatures. Infractions are one point, and will expire in 30 days. Multiple infractions will result in a temporary ban.​
 
Photobucket is blocked at many work places. Just an FYI. I cant' see your exampel and I can't see many peoples Sig's.

Yeah, a lot of tumblr and meme websites are blocked on my campus. But.... with a week announcement + another week before actual infractions, it should be more than enough time to check at home and make the needed corrections. :bigthumb:

A computer at home? Who has that? Pfffffft. I have my work laptop (which I never take home) and my iPhone. Thas it.
 
lol.. mine was never as big as sum ppl... but one day a long time ago.. i got on DPF and found my sig was made smaller for me...

guess its time for all the cool kids to re size now also. sweet that there is going to b a even field for all..
 
Google + Has a photo application (what used to be Picnik, they bought it and merged), and that is what I use. Its really simple to use for resizing and touchups for those of us who either cannot afford Photoshop, or who HATE Photobucket (it is the bane of my existence!).

I think mine is good now. Thank you so much for posting here, I would have missed this for sure! :)

Pffffffft. iPhones are practically computers. I change my siggy from my iPhone or iPad all the time. Shoot... I do "Live! From...." threads (with pictures!) on my phone.

images
 
Possibly silly question does the 225 include the image and if you have text underneath it a.k.a is mine okay??

There are currently no rules regarding text. Don't really foresee that happening unless text becomes an issue. For now, it's fine.
