    400x150, and maybe 25 for still sigs and 50 or 60 for animated ones!
    That way I could use my maze sig. <img src='http://pj2.cabewse.com/maze3.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    Pfft, then everyone would add one pixel flashing and call it an animated sig so they could use up more space. IMO, it would be better if max was 400x200, 40kb or something.

    I like the limits as they are, the forums look clean and not overfilled with flashing eye cancer causing full screen sigs.

    They're too restrictive and enforced with an iron fist. People get sigs removed for being 1kb over the limit, a few pixels too high. A bit of leniency would be nice at least.

    but people will just get slack with it, and eventually it'll go from 400x75, to 410x80, to 450x150 and it'll never end and we will ALL DIE.

    It is easy to edit a sig that is 1kb or 1px over the limit.
    If they were not be so strict no one would respect the limitations.

    Anything larger than 400x75 is a joke. The focus is the post, not the signature.

    That's why you lay down general GUIDELINES and if they stray too far from them, THEN you do something.

    You're the man, guy! Aika's so lovely!

    I meant to edit my above post, as 400x75 isn't a massive amount, but that suggestion of 400x200 was crazy!

    Imagine someone running 800x600px. 200px would take 1/3 of his screen!

    Tsk. Who runs in 800x600 anyway? Just kidding <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But still, 400x200 isn't that bad. Hell, even 500x100 would be cool. I just feel it's silly that you get your sig nuked for being 1 or 2 pixels over or 1kb over the limit. Guess you have to draw the line somewhere, but 400x75x22kb doesn't leave much room for creativity.

    Oh no, everyone runs around with the same old boring sig!!!
    Look around, there are very stylish great looking sigs everywhere. And the best are those which are even smaller then 400x75px, just becouse they are not larger then the post itself.

    You can pack more creativity on those few inches then fill a 500x200 with garbage.

    point = missed.

    Saying smaller sigs are better when your own is running close to the maximum allowance is pretty hipocritical, neh?

    But anyway, take for example Jragon with his smiley rave sig. 100x100px@4.82kb. Smaller in both filesize and total pixel space than most people's sigs. But it'll probably still be removed.

    These days, the most common screen resolutions are 1024x768 and upwards. 640x480 and 800x600 are a rapidly dying breed. Even then, a 500 width image isn't going to kill a 800x600 user.

    You can fill a 400x75 image with as much crap as a 500x200. Likewise you can fill a 500x200 with as much beauty as a 400x75 image. Besides of which, it's all subjective in the end. One man's trash is another's treasure and all that jazz.

    Might just be me, but as long as it doesn't make my page stretch horizontally and doesn't bog me down when downloading (ie. 1mb bitmaps, not several 30kb gifs/jpgs), I don't really mind personally.

    Don't forget that while increasing your sig size by only a bit you aren't really affecting how fast the board runs, if everyone does it then there might be a significant difference.

    I personally thing the current sizes are fine, people who want massive sigs are just trying to compensate <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Actually, remotely loaded images aren't really going to affect board load times that much. 30kb images aren't going to make the board choke and die any more than 22kb ones. All the board does it provide placeholders for images which are remotely hosted which the client's browser fills in as it recieves them (as you should notice, actual pages load first, then images).
