I thought I would make another topic since apparently some people can't read, the max size for signature images is around 50k.. if you are a little over that, that's ok.. but if you are way up over 80k and bigger, you need to make it smaller and reupload it.

If you are in violation, you will be warned once. If you continually abuse the rule, you will have your signature option revoked and you will not be able to edit your profile.

Do not ruin this for everybody.

Thank you TJ once more! I've seen a number of people have pictures that don't look less than 50KB. :p People never learn.

mine is 13.5 kb :D

How can you tell? Is mine ok?

It's actually over 19k! :)

AOL reduces images in case you didn't know.

Really? But is it under 50? lol

Yours is ok, it is under 10k.

As I said in another thread, you can right click on an image with your mouse and then go to 'Properties' and it will tell you how big the image is in kbs.

Can someone give me an example of what size a 50K image would be??

It depends on the image.

Yes, it always depends on the image. If you're not sure, just put the image in your sig, go to a post of yours, right click on it, click properties, and you can see how big it is.

Nevermind.

Most large animations and pictures in high quality are over 50 K.

Well,when I click on properties,it gives me the bytes size and the pixels dimensions size,so how does that translate into K?

Like in math. 10000K = 1KB So if you have something like 23964, it's acceptable. 67346, however, would not.

Yeah...thats my question too.

Edit: Nvm...Jenny answered it. lol

Ok,Thanks.But let me know if any of my images even look to be in violation.:D

This is why I'm playing it safe with a very,very small one LOL.

Is my blend of Liz okay? I tried to reduce the quality in Photoshop, but if I go too far down it's gonna come out looking really bad. Also, I've been wanting to ask this, but what if I direct link images from my website is that better than uploading them here?

mines barely over... even tho its fairly small.

I hope mine's okay, it was much bigger than this, but I reduced it by quite a bit.

if i change my png file to jpg, will it be 50k okay?

Is my image OK? I clicked "Properties" and did the math, and if I'm correct, it's only around 12k. Granted, I never was an expert, so I'm just gonna double-check. Let me know if it's not and I'll shrink it.

Great, I should be alright. If I did my math correctly, both images combined are less than 25kb in size. I had to convert my first image to a JPG because I was waaaaaaay over. :eek:

Yes you are correct... As Transit Whiz Said Just divide each by a thousand, or think of a thousand bytes as a KB (So if it says 20,000 bytes then its 20KB obviously)

I'm pretty sure I'm okay because I was so fanatical yesterday about having a small enough siggy pic.

i made a new banner i hope it's not over 50, i dont think it is, 'cause its really small.

That's definitely not over 50k.

ACtually, if encoded properly, a PNG is actually smaller than a JPG....

If you use just those two images in your signature, you should be fine.

Well, the reason I said that is that both of them together add up to about 50K.

So how am I supposed to get my siggy pix to show up if I can't get it straight from lisawhelchel.com or from here? I tried that villagephoto thing and that is confusing as a sweet and sour Chinese democracy.:confused: :confused:

How are all you guys putting your pictures up?

You can check yourself you know....

Right Click on the image.
Click on Properties.
Go down to the fourth item, Size.

It's going to look like this. Size: 13275 bytes.

I'll make it easy. If it's less than 50000 bytes, you're okay. If it's more than 50000 bytes, you're not okay. And if you have two, they have to equal to 50000 bytes. You can use a calculator if you need to.

Okalie dokalie, I guess that worked, thanks!!:thanks:

I still feel my pic is too large, even though it isn't....

onefortheroad's pic is about 62.5 KB, but it seems really big.

That's what I was thinking.

Am I allowed to have this much text in my siggy? It seems that compared to everyone else, I have a lot. Is mine alright?

The general rule is 5-10 lines max, so yes you are way over that. You need to modify it a bit.

OK, I changed it now, so it's only about 6 lines. Hope that's better.

:)

Wonderful, TJ! Thank you very much!

Although, my signature doesn't seem to be working. :(

*EDIT*
Nevermind...

(It's only 22 kb so far, even though the pic LOOKS huge. With the text and link and all though, is it okay? Size-wise, anyway?)

Originally posted by *~PinkLady59~*

Yeah, they have a pretty big graphic, and lots of text under it.

I have seen some at the Cheers forum that are humongous, I had to scroll to the right to read that person's post because their pic was so big(it was an attachment).

Also, I've been wanting to ask this, but what if I direct link images from my website is that better than uploading them here?
Good point you make. Actually, you'll be taking bandwidth from your host and not here. However, I think there's also concern for people who are on a dial-up such as myself who have a hard time sorting through threads with pictures that have a large file size.

Anyhow, if nobody has a graphics program, this website here (http://www.nbswebfx.com/) should be able to help though the quality will probably diminish signifigantly. But, it's an alternative nonetheless. (Plus, you can do also sorts of effects to your pic there too.)

you can only have 2 pics. and the second two pics in your sig are both over 50 k

how do you know if they are under 50k or over 50k?

Your photos weren't over 50k, she just read them wrong- they were 5,870 and 6,003. She must have thought they read in the ten thousands. Or you changed photos.

But the one you just added was over 99,000
(now changed to one that is 16,002)

To check the size, right click over the photo and go down to properties and it will tell you the size.

Yes, TJ has resource limitations that can't just be wished away. It's pretty hard to run a site that accomodates 15,000 members. He's providing a service to us at his own expense, so I hardly think that we can be annoyed that his equipment has limits.

Why does the SO address keep appearing in my sig? :confused:
Usually every other time I post I can see it right under that default line. I know I didn't put it in there so why does it show up? Weird.

I know I just took it out of my sig again. The first time it appeared it came up like this

_______________

and then the second time it came up with on one address showing. I deleted it twice from my sig. The weird thing is I never even put it in my sig in the first place so I'm wondering how it got there the first time.

i think im ok...but i really dont know...so im gonna post n then check the properties yaayy

You should be okay. According to my browser [I'm using Opera] it says that your image is 35 KB (35,323 bytes).

hmmm lemma see

Pandora.... Im posting using Opera and that SO addy doesn't appear in my siggy so I guess we can rule out Opera doing this...

In my opinion, 14,000 of those members should be deleted.. especially all of those with zero posts. Theyre wasting space. I doubt more than 1,000 really post.

They don't take up that much space. I have 2 70GB hard drives on this server. :)

Still, though... they mislead the SO wonderfullness. After a certain amount of inactivity they should be deleted.

*gasp* Maybe SO isn't as big, grand, and popular as we think! :eek:

How come some of the pics in the signatures are coming up as red X's for me? Anyone else have that problem?

Edit: Once I signed in, they turned into pics, so nevermind. lol

50,000. A kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, so you just divide by 1,000 to figure out how big your pic is.

Do you want us to report people who violate the text rule as well, or just those that violate the picture rule?
