If you don't specify picture dimensions in your avatar, then the default 150 x 150 is used as the image aspect ratio details.

To change this:

Go into your

My Controls

Edit Avatar Settings

and change your

Avatar Dimensions to the size of the thumbnail image your using.

In your case, in the image you've chosen they're 150 x 103.

To find the image details press the right mouse button on the above image and choose properties.

You will see the image dimensions are 150 x 103.

Sorry, I assumed that is was your avatar, as it's got the wrong aspect ratio.

And still does..

Have a look at your sig now! :)

Steve i just did what you said and look its to small.........so what now?

[GRiM]

I edited it, because it was a little too big.

Not buy the amount of space taken up, but because of the size in bytes of the image.

Remember, we have modem users here, and it can take ages to load images, thereby slowing down the page load times dramatically, and ruining the whole experience for visitors and members alike.

To be fair, Steve, (administrator bloke on LOC), has been pretty relaxed regarding limiting the size of signatures.

Not only on the amount of space taken up, but also on what images can and cannot be included.

I'll willing to be over ruled here, as I've been guilty of having an elaborate sig in the past, but I do think we need to keep things within reason.

Hope you, and other members understand. :)

Comments on a postcard..

So that means i cant have photos of my car as a sig then

[GRiM]

Well, that's what your avatar's for.....

And you DO have piccys of your car in you sig, albeit smaller than you wanted...

Tell you what...

I'll add a http:// link to the big version of the piccy in your sig.

Then, anyone who wants to see the BIG version, just needs to hover their mouse over the small image and then click on it, to see the BIG version.

Can't say fairer than that..... :winky:

no worries mate ;)

if you are looking at creating a banner like sig - then you want to make it around 468 x 50 pixels, and make sure you export it as a .jpg - to get the lowest filesize.

Or - if you like - drop me an email (use the link below) and we can chat about an animated flash banner if you want ;)
