The current 24000byte limitation for forum signature images is pretty annoying. I can't think of that many people on 56k modems browsing the forum with images enabled so shouldn't be any drawbacks.
So my proposal is to have this limitation changed to 75k byte so .png will be a viable format for signatures.

What kind of graphic do you want to use if you need 75K for it?
Huge graphics tend to make a site unreadable, because it's constantly loading and resizing to adjust to a dozen signatures being loaded. |

If your connection is unable to handle a 75k image, how do you view pron?
Supported, increase the file size limitation but NOT the displayed pixel by pixel size, this allows better quality sigs without cluttering up the screen.
And if it's seriously a major issue for anyone in the broadband era, they can use the handy function that turns of sigs. _____________________________________________ Of Riches and Slaves - Adventures of an Amarrian Noble |

The fullsize version of my sig would be in the 60-70k range as it is .png and the only format supported by eveboard.com not to mention jpeg is pretty limited with no transparancy support.

The 24000 byte limitation was OK when a greater proportion of Internet connections were 56k and the forums did not have a function to omit signature images. These days it is a nuisance, and I fully support the limit being raised to 75k (or 76000 bytes if EVE mods don't want to memorise more than two significant digits).
I do agree with the pixel size limit staying at 400 x 120 though.

Sounds reasonable - any 400x120 still image should be acceptable. I don't want massive screen-breakers, or gaudy moving .gif files, but standard-sized sigs shouldn't be a problem.

Edited by: Aloriana Jacques on 11/01/2010 20:16:21 75k sounds like an adequate bump without overloading people left and right.
I would also not be opposed to an increase in visual size as long as it does not exceed 600 pixels in width and remains at the current height. Considering monitors are getting wider as a standard (but not taller), it makes sense. Especially considering most people play beyond the 800x screen resolution.

As an example what you can do with a 75kb limit, check these pretty awesome signatures.

While I like my sig, I also agree that there's really nothing keeping them from bumping the file size of the signatures these days. --Vel

Supported. And see sig. 100 (?) characters is really limiting. 255 is understandable and appropriate. The current one is not. I'd also like to push for a signature divider.
____________ I'd make a forum signature that didn't suck, but I'm restricted by a character limit that does. |

Edited by: Helicity Boson on 12/01/2010 17:44:15 The size limit is arbitrary, ridiculously low, and haphazardly enforced.
Please increase the limit to something that does not belong in 1995.
edit: lol hadn't seen someone linked mine. my own got joinked today for filesize :(

I support increasing the file size limit but not the pixel size.
It can't be put on the agenda for the next CSM meeting because of the 7 day rule but we might be able to discuss it the week after.

Edited by: Juwi Kotch on 12/01/2010 18:25:54 Well, my problem with sigs is not file size but character limitation.
I support a new sig size policy which allows for something like 500 characters per signature, and a total of 75k. If this does not work and people start complaining about slow forums when watching with pics and sigs enabled, it can be corrected again any time.
Let's just try it.
And yes, no change to the pixels please.

signed, wasn't it 50k a couple months ago? when did they change it to 24k? I take pride in my photoshop work tbh. and 24k = pixelated limited layerless junk without transparency. Please re-size your signature to the maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist |

Definitely needs a boost in size. I do some signature work from time to time and have a hard time getting it into an appropriate size without having to sacrifice too much quality due to compression.
Also increase the signature text length.

Edited by: Blane Xero on 14/01/2010 16:42:37 Supported. Hell, even 56kb would be better. The quality improvement is astounding. I've chosen to switch from one of my old sigs back to a more simple one because of the limit. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Not supported, It's a forum, the images are not needed now, nor do they need to be larger.
The Steam forums don't allow sigs, and there just fine.

Not supported, the signatures are annoying enough already. The visual pollution isn't much better than on ad infested portals. Even when the sigs are funny the jokes get old pretty quick.

Edited by: Ran Khanon on 15/01/2010 13:30:21 Supported! Especially while saving in .png 24 format in photoshop it is impossible to stay under 24kb limit and still be anywhere near the allowed resolution.
