Another Signature Warning! You NEED to read this one!

[WebmasterKelsie]

Hi Everyone,

First I would like to thank everyone who fixed their signatures to fit within the rules of the DIS. :)

We continue to have issues and these are with posters who have been warned. I am not kidding when I say we are going to lose this privilege if we don't get this under control and we don’t want to see that happen.

Again, those of you who are not within guidelines have 24 hours to fix your signatures. If they are not fixed, you will no longer be allowed to have a personal signature on the DIS. It will be automated and you will not be able to get around it.

So PLEASE, look at your signatures and at the post stuck at the top of the board with the DIS guidelines.

Thanks!

Bumping up

[Nanoer]

[Renpener]

Is my sig good?

I got the warning last time (My "Renpener Was Here" was a little to big), and I changed it. I just want to make sure that it fits because I think that our signatures describe us in a way thats hard to describe.

But anyways,
Is my sig within the guidelines?

[jazstar87]

ok am i good? on one computer i have less lines than another....

[MissGalinda]

Mine is ok, I think. Last time I checked anyway.

It looks good to me.

On my computer I count 11, so judging by that you should be fine, line wise at least.

[Maleficent2]

MissGaLinda is correct I also count 11.

[RaggedyAnnPrincess]

Im not sure about mine, are there too many pictures? Too big? :confused3

[Spongeblair]

Is mine alright bc i misunderstood last time and then i cut it down to one picture. I am sorry it has probably been 24 hours but i was not on dis last night so i did not see this. Thanks again

Spongeblair, although you are down to 1 image, the file size is way over the guidelines (see below guidelines from sticky thread). You can check the file size of your picture by right clicking on it, and choosing properties.
Your current image is coming in at 116.03 KB (118817 bytes).

You need to have a tweak around with your image when you save it for the web, maybe cut down on the image quality!

Hope this helps!

Is your DISboard Signature Legal?



The most common item we find are users with an image that is greater than the allowed 200 pixel maximum height requirement. Be sure you check ALL your images in your signature to be sure none of them exceeds 200 pixels tall.
------------------------------------------------------------
3. The TOTAL filespace of all your images combined must not exceed 50KB. (That's 51,200 bytes).

One item we commonly find are uses of animated gifs which can have very large filesizes. If you have an animated gif such as a sparkly signature, or other 'moving' image, be sure you add up all the filesizes for all images. If you have highly detailed photos, it's also easy to exceed the 50KB combined filespace limit.
------------------------------------------------------------
4. The TOTAL number of lines in your signature may not exceed 12. All of the following count as a line: (1) a line of text, (2) a blank line, (3) an image of any kind on it's own line (such as photo, countdown, smilie, egg, etc), (4) any type of spacer such as a dashed line.

The most common item we find here are users with a long vertical list of their WDW trips. Instead of putting all these on separate lines, one on top of the other, it's suggested you put them on one horizontal line going across the page. Many users do this and differentiate the trips by using different colors, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------


Note: The above items are not all inclusive. There are other signature requirements. You can see the full Signataure Guidelines with samples by clicking HERE (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=947493) . This also gives you an explanation on why the guidelines are important.

If you don't know if your photo, countdown, etc meets guidelines, you can look at your signature in one of your posts, and right-click directly on the image, and from the drop-down menu, select PROPERTIES. The image's properties will show. There you can get both it's filesize and it's dimensions ( Width x Height). If the height dimension is greater than 200 your image does not meet guidelines.

If you add up the filesizes of all your images, and the total exceeds 51,200 bytes, then you do not meet guidelines.

You can see a typical Properties screen in the example below.

[Spongeblair]

the only way i could edit it was if i changed it to a GIF i think but now it is all spotty

[Spongeblair]

Ok now it is way too small i will have to change the picture do you think it is bc i took a lot of pictures and made them into one? then all the pictures added together would make it 116kb?

[WDWLIGHTNINGZ]

Your file size to too large. One picture is 30,756 and the other is 81,080. You are only allowed a total of 50KB, which is about 51,200 bytes. You can check the properties by right clicking on your photos.

[LoriR]

i think my is too big is it ok ?

Sorry, your image is a little to tall and WAY over allowed file size. ;)

[Loves Disney]

How is mine? Just wondering because I am very computer illiterate when it comes to figuring out how we can check lol.
