I have just updated the Forum Rules, with the new signature limits:

Quote:
Signatures

OK, basically the limit for the whole of your sig is 550 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall (approximately), so if you want you could have ten small pictures, as long as they are less than 200 pixels tall. And no image should be more than 550 pixels wide.

If you need to check if you sig fits the limits, do this:


  • Press Alt+Printscreen while looking at your sig
  • Open up MS Paint
  • Press control+V
  • Using the marquee (selection) tool, drag a square from the top left of your sig to the bottom right.
  • While you are still holding the mouse down, read the number in the bottom right of Paint.
  • This number is the width then height of your signature. It must be less than 550x200


You may thing "What??? 200 pixels high??? That's tiny!!!", but for someone with a screen resolution of 800x600, that's 1/3 of their screen taken up by your signature. And, you can't have it too wide otherwise it stretches the whole page, forcing people on a low resolution to scroll back and forth to read posts.

so you can have as many as you want, as long as they stay in that little limit, right?

Yeah. If you find that your moderator and developer things are taking up too much room, you can just use text like me...
