:roll: it IS a gif image!!!! right click on it and bring up the properties! it is only 63 kb! whats the problem? ive seen avatars that are bigger than this.
Its a gif image now and it was 89Kb. In any case, 63Kb is still too big.
If you seen avatars bigger than this then you've also seen them disappear soon after. So on that point you're exagerating things. There is no way that an excessively wide avatar would be allowed to stay.
Once again, read what I said. The whole forum is about have a shake-up because the high file transfer rate is mucking things up.
I thought I'd give you heads up but obviously this is something you think has to be fought over.
You're not the only one. Its been common practice for some time to ask people to reduce their sig files. In almsost every case, the person has understood and helped out without complaint.
And I will continue to let people know if they have a sig file or avatar which too big or in anyway unacceptable. For example, Madunit has an 87Kb sig file image. I didnt get to that because you wanted to fight about your sig file first.
As part of the shake-up, sig files guidelines will be maximum 400 x 100 pixels and 30Kbs. Members will be limited to 2 images per sig file. There will be exceptions with some sig files being banners received as prizes in one the competitions.
In all cases, the decision as to which sig files are acceptable is entirely at the discretion of the Administrators. This is already part of the Members Guidelines...
So now you know everything. And as you can see, you're not being singled out.
It's unfortunate that yet another thread has been disrupted by your insistence on bickering over minor issues. I'm settling this by deleting your sig file now.
If you wish to contnue this discussion, take it to the website issues forum.
