View Full Version : All Users: Check your Signature

Is your DISboard Signature Legal?

In order to keep the DISboards both friendly and efficient, there are guidelines users are to follow when developing their signatures. Many users are unaware of the guidelines and unknowingly create signatures that in many cases exceed the guidelines.

NOW is the time to check your signature and make certain you're legal.

While we send out notices to those users who have signatures that do not meet guidelines, this is time consuming for the moderators and Tech Support volunteers on these boards. In some cases when a user does not correct a signature, it is necessary for us to delete their signature entirely. This can be unfortunate if someone has put a lot of effort into creating their signature.

The MAIN violations we commonly find are listed below:

1. No more than three images are allowed. All of the following each count as an image: (1) A photo, (2) A Clipart, (3) A Countdown, (4) A 'sparkly' signature, (5) Any non DISboard smilie, (6) Eggs. Note also that WISH images each count toward the maximum of three images allowed.

Thus if you have a sparkly signature line, 2 photos, 3 countdowns, 2 eggs, and 1 WISH, your total image count is 9, or triple the allowed number.

Remember, if you add any type of Holiday decorations to your signature, it all counts toward 3-image maximum.
------------------------------------------------------------
2. No single image may exceed 550 pixels in width nor 200 pixels in height. The old standard was that all images combined must fit within a single 400x400 square. This was changed earlier this year to the current requirement. If you have a signature developed to the old requirements, you need to fix it to meet the current requirements.

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://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=10420757&postcount=2). 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.

Just a note from your friendly neighborhood Techie that if you have problems getting your signature down to the limits that it's a good idea to post and we'll try to help you get it under.

Someybody: Your signature has 4 images in it. You'll need to remove one of them.

Daveydude: I think yours is fine now.

Nanoer: You have 4 pictures (the 3 eggs and the glittery signature) you'll need to remove one of them.

Hope that helps.

(Thanks to BriarLori who counts better than I do)

BriarRosie

To answer your question: In WinXP - right click on picture and choose properties from right click popup menu.

Both of your pictures are within limits. Your glitter signature is 480x92 and 14481 bytes. Your montage is 387x107 and 13342 bytes.

...how do u get a picture in the space in ur signature?
The picture has to be hosted on the web somewhere. This could be on Disboards (WDWInfo) own servers or somewhere else. Once that is done you just put it in your signature the same way you would put it in a message. For more information check out the Technical Support forum.

Actually, your image is too tall. The tallest it can be is 200 pixels. Yours is 303 pixels tall.

If you need to know the size of your image, you can right click on it and select 'properties'.

Smilies don't count unless you go over the 12 line rule OR you link to smilies that are not official DisBoard smilies.

Yours is ok in that respect.

You still would be well within signature guidelines as posted in the first post:
- 12 lines (you would have at most 9)
- 3 graphics (you would have 2)
- 50 K bytes for graphics (you would have about 27K)
- each graphic within 450x200 (both of yours easily meet this requirement)

A little information as to the type of signature you would like would be very helpful. Basically if you click on User CP at the top of the screen and then Edit Signature on the left of the screen it will bring you to a screen that will allow you to make a signature.

For more information on specific types of signatures you might try a search for Signature in the title of threads on the Technical Forum.

The picture of your character is well within image size and file size limits. The number of lines in your signature is also well within limits.

BobRichmond
05-20-2006, 11:40 PM

It is hard to tell if the number of lines in your signature is within limits, since I can not see how many blank lines are in the 2 spaces. However your graphics are within image size and file size limits.

It is hard to tell without seeing the code. Graphics are well within limits. The only thing that might be slightly over is number of lines and that is hard to tell without knowing how many blank lines you have.

The 12 line limit is not lines of code, but lines in your signature. You are well under 12 lines there.

BobRichmond
07-04-2006, 02:01 AM

If you use Windows, you right mouse click on the picture and then choose "Properties" (the last item) on the menu that pops up.

You will need some kind of picture editor to make your picture smaller. The picture of all your characters is not only too high, but WAY over in filesize.

jasonpwns

BobRichmond
07-07-2006, 02:21 AM
Does mine fit?
Your graphic is just a bit to tall. Maximum size is 200 pixels tall and yours is 212. If you could make the "CAPTAIN" part smaller and delete the blank space it would must likely fit. You also could remove the last lines of text from the graphic and just add it as signature text after it.

StitchfansJr, what they are saying is your filespace has gone over the allowed limit.
3. The TOTAL filespace of all your images combined must not exceed 50KB. (That's 51,200 bytes).

If you right click each of your images, you can see how large each image is. Yours are 43,630, 8279, and 7435 for a total of 59,344 bytes. You are over the limit by 8144 bytes.

Thank you!!! How did you do it?

I converted it to a GIF. That usually reduces the file size. :)

BobRichmond

How do I make it less? And how come my image is so high when others have the same size or larger? Is there a way to change that?
Unfortunately even though your fairy tale is now within guidelines by itself the last countdown graphic still takes your total over the limit. Since the countdown size is set elsewhere, if you keep both you will have to further decrease the fairy tale graphic. Either making it smaller or decreasing the color pallette may do the trick.

Please check the rules for including a link in your signature:
6. A link in your signature
You may have a link in your signature provided it does not link to a commercial site of any kind, and the site linked to has a prominent return link back to the DISboard.

Links to Photos are allowed as long as only the photo itself is displayed.

Links to Countdown sites are allowed as long as it's the countdown being displayed.

Links to SPAM of any type is strictly prohibited and can result in loss of all posting privileges.

The maximum size of an image is 550 pixels wide by 200 tall.

Your current signature is over the allowed limits. You are allowed up to 3 images with a TOTAL file size of 51,200 bytes. The animated image you have is way too large.

All of the DIS signature guidelines are located in the first post of this thread. :)

If using Windows: Right click on the image and then click on "Properties" in the box that pops up. The image you have now should show that it is 96x96 pixels and under 7kB in size.

It most likely is. Can not tell for sure because your countdown .png images do not give a file size under properties.

It is within guidelines as far as I can tell. The only thing even close to the guidelines is you have the maximum 3 graphics allowed.

emdinio your signature is too big. You can only have 3 images and the total file size of all your images cannot exceed 50K. Two of your images each are over that on their own.

You can right click an image, and then choose Properties to view it's size.

Maleficent2
07-21-2007, 06:48 PM
spaces do count. I count 19, 12 if spaces did not count.


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.
