Images in a signature line should not exceed 100x500 pixels in total. This equates to no more than five 100x100 pictures (the same size as the avatars) side by side.

Where text is also used in a signature, this should not consist of long lists. No more than 2 lines of small-font text under a banner of 100pix height should be used. If no banner is used, the height of the text (plus spaces) should not exceed the equivalent of a 100 pixel high banner.

Sabrina has been so kind to give me your address , I really want a banner to go with my post, only I don't know if you have a limit regarding frames?
---animatinon that is? Are you willing to help me?
Bette.

Why don't you go to this thread.

You can request a banner over there. So all you have to do is post some pictures.

Good luck, and if you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Some body PMed my cause of my signature but I didn't understand why....
I have been using this for the last weeks.... is it the photo?
Please answer me...

Can't you see from where that pm came?? I hope you get some help from the Mods! I see nothing wrong with your username or your avatar for that matter! Keep the spirit up!
Ohhh it is your Banner...maybe it is too big..I don't know!

That banner doesn't look that big, but the rules are that it must be no higher than 60 pixels, and parts of this one are rather tall.

As for the PM, it is not possible to send a PM without showing your username. Click Reply and you can send a message back to the sender (it wasn't me though)

I followed what you told me and I think I made it better... what do you think?... I can't take anything else...these are musts to me!...

Still a bit on the tall side, but personally I don't think it's a problem

I saw two huges today... mine is small next to those...
I can't make it smaller... so I probably leave it like it is... as you say it's not a big problem

Yes yours is not the biggest signature around on MB, and everyone who exceeds the 480 x 60 size gets a PM, but I think we need to be a bit relaxed about users whose banners are not grossly oversized, like yours.

Frankly I disagree, I can see letting the longer banner go. It's 100 pixels high which is still 40 pix larger than allowed. However, the Nikita is over twice the proper size. Someone will see that and make their whole longer banner 126 pix high and frankly that is horrible. It's hard on dial ups and it's distracting. AND yes! There are people with bigger banners and IMO it's getting to be a real distracting.

The height ways limit is 80 pixels so it's only 20 beyond the limit. I'm trying to be pragmatic here. 20 pixels is not outrageously oversized. I have seen far bigger sigs.

Look at the top of the page. From Lisa

Banner height limit is 60 pix. The Nikita pic in her banner is 100 by 126 pix, the 126 is the height, that makes it over twice the height allowed. The longer pic in her banner is 362 by 90 { sorry earlier I had put 100}. Still over the height limit but I thought we were letting anything under 100 slide. By itself I don't think the taller banner would be a problem BUT someone is going to look at that and say "she has a banner that's 126 high so I'm going to make mine 130" and do the whole 480 length and that is going to be a monster of a banner. I'm saying people are making their banners bigger and bigger as they see other peoples getting bigger. The problem grows.

I stand corrected

Well, you are right, but there is one problem here ....is my banner too big ..I would say that if the banners have to be so narrow that you almost can't see it...then why have banners at all, But I also understand the problem from my own forum...I can remove my blinkie, but I have changed my banner so many times now that it has shrunk into nothing!
Just my opinion...don't make a lot of sense eh? Sorry I am ill! :sick:

I would think that your's is ok - because you also don't have tons of text added to it... the signature itself is small [space-wise] because there aren't alot of 'extras' with it...

It really becomes a problem when the banners are too tall AND there's tons of text!

It's really hard for dial-up users and for those who are just 'skimming' to see what people have posted....

Thank you, all of you! This is not Spam...it comes from the heart!

what can i do to make it better?!
cause it wasn't me who made them so i don't know...
and don't get so mad at me that nikita was the smallest i found!

I will keep my mouth shut, but I was only trying to agree with you...my spelling went all wrong ...I will not say anything anymore here again! Sorry! I only know that I have had a lot of problems because of my banner, but it should be okay now...or so I was told a while ago! ??? :'(

Everyone is supposed to stick to a max of 480 x 60 pixels. I know it's a pain when you get told you've exceeded the max but it really is important that we don't have oversized banners

I don't get mad... I get sad cause it wasn't me who made it and now i don't now what to do any ideas?!
onefaroutdane: don't get mad at me that wasn't my point is just that I trusted on the people who made it and now i'm getting problems with it!

Hey sweetheart...why should I get mad at you??? I think your banner is nice...I am not in any position of saying "yes" or "no", I am absolutely positively not mad at you! I know what it is like not being able to fix my banner by myself...if I have said something which could be misunderstood it was for the Mods ...but I am not mad at them either. As I recall one of the Mods told you that your banner was okay after you moved the black and white image down along side the other...

Even if you haven't made your own banner it's still easy to resize it. Just open up a graphics/painting program and you can resize it there.

but then don't i have to put it online... and then what... i know it has a wierd code that i don't know how to get!....

Well I am assuming it's saved on your own computer. When you've resized it, save it on your computer. Then upload it onto one of the many image hosting services and you can then add it to your MB Profile

Poor you...when people say things like that to me it is like nonsense..I simply don't understand.. but you could try and get help from a friend og mine in Denmark if you like...just go into my fanclub...it is in my www ...press "her" and NOT "enter", send your banner to "kontakt os" and I will see to that it gets the way they want it to be...just a suggestion! You can also send it directly to me keanabisgaard@galnet.dk and I will send it to my friend and back to you again!

Hey sorry for just checking now I was in exams!
Well onefaroutdane thanks for the helps but I'm having problems in sedding you the email.... this is getting on my nerves!
sorry have to go to class now get back toyou later!

Hmmm, that I don't understand, do you not have the banner in your picturefile? If so you can send it to me from there, if you press the right site of the mouse...it should say amongst other things ..."E-mail to a friend"....or something like that...sorry I am a little fool when it comes to explaine computerstuff, I just learn as I go along... But I am still here if you find a way to mail it to me! I have two friends here in Denmark who can make your banner smaller and maybe a little more balanced! I write you a pm okay?

I know now why you have had troubles...your banner is not connected, so you have to send me the coloured one and then the b/w one...but no need now..I have already send them both to my friend! So let's see ehat she makes out of it!

OMG!
onefaroutdane: Thanks! thanks! thanks! you really saved my "graphic" life!
Really now thanks for putting yourselve into so much work just for me...
I'll wait for the results and thank your friend for me ok?!

I will Iz! Hang in there...as I said in the pm it is no problem for my friend. And you are wellcome to my server...if you haven't access to one...yair I am repeating meself, check out Photobucket, it's a place with sort of rental-server! I can find the link if you like!?
I hope I have a brans new banner for you in a few days!

Would this be okay to put in my siggy, or is it just way too big?

It's too tall.

It is a bit on the big side. You need to make it a little bit less high - your original black and white one is fine

oh ok. thanks guys.

Can anyone explain to me how to put pics up in ur signature banner

Hello there

make a banner using any images you want to. the maximum size is 480x60 pixels. it has to be a jpeg image so the file must be saved as .jpg on your computer. Then use an image host site to upload it. there are loads of such sites: www.uploadit.org, www.villagephotos.com, www.photobucket.com are just three of many.

If you click on profile you will find a field for a signature. Put the URL of your uploaded banner in there with image tags on it. For example:
[img]http://www.imagehostsite/mybanner.jpg[*/img] (without the *) and update changes.
You should then see the banner on any post you make on this board.

If you're still stuck feel free to ask

Just in case nobody reads the first post here are the updated guidelines:

Images in a signature line should not exceed 100x500 pixels in total. This equates to no more than five 100x100 pictures (the same size as the avatars) side by side.

Where text is also used in a signature, this should not consist of long lists. No more than 2 lines of small-font text under a banner of 100pix height should be used. If no banner is used, the height of the text (plus spaces) should not exceed the equivalent of a 100 pixel high banner.
