Is my sig too big?

[raeyoung]

Just wondering.

 

[jiny]

No it's not

 

[raeyoung]

Thank you!

It's a bit over 250 pixels, but nothing major, and an additional regular line of text is allowed anyway which your spoilers should count as. So... all good!

 

[himeki]

yep, your signature is too big including the spoilers and stuff

Are you referring to their Phil one or their previous one? Both of them look a little big to me, but not massively so.

It's 320px when it should be 250, I'd cut it down if I were you.

I don't think the top and bottom margins count? That would make mine a little over 300. Lol, maybe this is one of those rules that people just end up breaking and action is only taken if someone trundles along with a 1000px signature or something.

I'd say it is a bit to big as well.

I've seen people punished for smaller lmao.
And now it looks even bigger.

Lol, their signature just changed as I refreshed the page. Seems to get a couple pixels shorter each time.

Just realised that it's a random GIF thing. Ugh, I'm an idiot and this will make it all the harder if they're different sizes.

Nevermind - all the images are 200px vertically. I'll stop post merging now.

Does that mean my sig's okay?

Like we've all said, it's perhaps a little big at 300px, give or take. Resizing the images would be a pain so I wouldn't go that route, but I'm not sure what you can do to be honest, as I'm no signature professional with my probably-slightly-over-the-limit signature.

Unless you can find a way to make those spoilers take up less space, I'd leave it the way it is for now as it's not hugely over the limit of this loose rule.

If others complain that it's too large, the easiest option would probably be to keep those links under the image but move the spoilers beside the image using a table since then it would take up less vertical space and make use of some of that blank horizontal room you've got there!

Example:

[table="width: 700, align: center"]
[tr]
[td]

Hey look, a link![/td]
[td]

Spoiler: Spoiler 1

Spoiler: Spoiler 2

Better?

 

[AnimalCrossingPerson]

Better?

Absolutely!
Shouldn't have any issues now, though the odds of you having issues before were only 50/50.

Spoiler: Better safe than sorry!

(I wouldn't usually response with a big bulky photo like this but your signature animations have really put me in the mood)

EDIT: Just realised how big and bulky the photo really is and put it in a spoiler

 

[raeyoung]

Yay! X3
