A reminder about signatures

[p1ngpong]

Lately we have been getting tons of people who have absolutely massive images as their sigs. It seems many people are unaware that we do have rules regarding how large an image you are allowed to have as a signature.

Signatures should not be larger than 500 x 150 pixels in dimension.

And they should not be larger than 80kb in size.

If your sig breaks either of these size restrictions please do the staff a favor and change it so that we don't have to remove it for you.

As always if you are unsure about anything please refer to our forum rules which can be found here http://gbatemp.net/help/terms or PM a member of staff.

I hope that you're aware that you've introduced quite a lot of JPEG artifacts as well as somewhat washed out colors into these "fixed" signatures.

JPEG is a lossy image format. Every time you re-save something it loses quality and it is therefore recommended to work with files that have been re-saved as little as possible.

Why not just try to help them out and let them decide for themselves if the quality is sufficient?

Compression damages images, I know that, but some of them were way over 80K.

Your sig is the best been waiting to compliment on it for some time now, i love zelda!

Thanks.
Didn't make it though. Credits to a good friend for that.

I attached a fixed jpeg for all your sigs. It was as simple as re-saving in msPaint. You guys avatar's are fine (6K) so you're all now under 80K.

Meh. Mine was 125KB.
I'll use the new one. My old one was a bit glossier, but there isn't much difference between the two.

did my pic have to big of a file size?
I know the dimensions are the exact limit, so that can't be it
Just noticed it got removed
