Where Did Your Sig Go? Options

[doGGy]

if you saving with photoshop, use Save Fr WEB function, this will get your JPG file at about 10-15k......

The sign of 350x120 *.jpg saved with save for web funktion at 60% quality is about 12k.....

I gotta ask, can the minimum be raised to like 22kb? I cant get any of mine below 22.

Size is what 350x120?

How can you have a 400x125 and only 20K? I went to jpg and had 22k and then bmp went to 107.

.png triples the KB. Whats aggravating is that I'm using photobucket to host it, and its a matter of 2kbs, and its smaller than all the other images.

[Drocay]

yea, how are u guys getting your sigs to change size and not compromise horrible quality esspecially yours coom the resolution seems to be great.

[Supersprynt]

The sizes of the images arent a problem but im seriously not a fan of this 20kb thing.

[doGGy]

yea, i was just about to say that i was messing with Photoshop and if u save for web and play around with it at 375x125 ( mine) i can set it at 80 quality on high setting and get a pic thats about 18.5kb.

[Coomer]

I used Fireworks for optimizing my JPEG images. The quality ranges from 0-100, 100 being the best. My sig is 86 I believe. I know ACDSee also allows you to change the quality of JPEG images when resizing and such.

Supersprynt, I can make your sig under 20kb if you want. Just give me a link and I'll help you out.

I dont have photoshop so I dont kno what save for web is. I lowered the quality to 80/100.

And thanks for the offers but I dont want to ask people to make stuff for me. I got it to work.

So you got it all worked out then and the sig you have now is the one you like?

[Supersprynt]

No but Drocay was nice enough to go about fixing my other one so I'll use that for now.

Cooommmmm.... what the... most of the people here didn't have any problems with the signatures... But I can live with a size restriction. BUT I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE WARNED US. I didn'y have mine saved to my computer, only uploaded on http://www.imageshack.us/
If you can give me back my old signature so I can resize it or atleast give me the old location, that would be swell...

[macavely]

wow i tottaly missed this discussion.. i think i might have one ot the siq that piss people off.. but how about going back to the time when the your siq was on only once per page.. i really liked that..

Coomer, your sig is still too big, please reduce it down some.

[amysmojo]

Avatar settings have changed to allow for images up to 90x70 pixels, rather than the smaller 64 x64, but animations are still not allowed.

I may have skipped over this or something....sorry if I did (im at work)...but what happened to having the larger Avatars??? Was that idea X'd now that we get to have pics in our sigs again???

[Drocay]

now there back to old setting and sigs are back but size limited.

ok, I don't know if you solved this yet coomer. It seems like you could add some preset size into the image tag on the insert sig page, right? Then, no matter what they put in, it would be small. I dunno about the file size though. It might still be a big file, just make the images smaller. Not sure what your using to code this site, but its just a thought I had.

[Tweek]

also, whats the final word on this? Maybe you could add some text onto the sig page that gives the dimension and file size. Maybe you did, and I'm just blind.

It's already solved. It works far better than just inserting size attributes into the <img> tag(Though it does this too.)

Yeah, Text has just been added to the page outlining the signature rules.

Glad u kept the image sigs. For the most part, people scrolls the web document down with their eyes set around your image sig area, to identify the person, instead of the little avatar icon below the name. I NEVER read the right column. I read the img sig. when I see yellow celica, it's coomer, when i see a red celica with the TRD logo, it's Drocay, etc. They add characteristic to the forum. Forums are text based already. People ask text questions, reply in text answers. Site is already made with the minimum images possible to provide faster speed, if we take out our sigs, I'd rather just call this website the 6th gen celica dictionary.
