Is there still a strict limit on the size of your signatures.

[Larsenv]

Title. I remember that your signature must not have images that are too big (image dimensions and filesize) and if you didn't follow them, mods would remove your signature. Are these still enforced?

Also, is it possible to specify a width and/or height of the image yourself?

Huh, you have a point there. I'm fairly sure it is still enforced, but all the information that used to be on the signature screen must've gone with TS3.

EDIT:
It's all there in the site rules.

Avatars and signatures are available for members to personalise their posts by adding their own custom images or text. Do not abuse this right, or it will be removed.

Your posted and linked images, avatars and signatures are constantly reviewed by the moderating staff. Images or content that the GBAtemp Staff find are too big or that are deemed inappropriate including obscene, pornographic, vulgar and any other distasteful or sexually explicit material will be censored, edited or removed with OR without notice; and may result in the member being warned, suspended or banned.

Users are prohibited from posting transparent/invisible images that stretch the page, and the flash-based "screamers" and 1x1 pixel flash videos. Dynamic and HTML-based images, as well as those with overly long animation sequences are also disallowed in your avatars and signatures.

The following image is an example to help you understand the maximum size of a signature. You may go under and but NOT over the 500x150 pixel guideline. No exceptions.

Your signature height, whether it contains images or not, should never exceed 150 pixels. If it does, it may be removed by our moderators. If you see scroll bars in a signature space, that signature is over the maximum dimension limit.

Unlike the resolution of the main signature graphic, there are no set file size limits per image.

• The maximum combined file size for all graphics in a member's avatar and signature is: 80KB
  
• Members may distribute this 80KB however they wish (Example: 30KB avatar/50KB sig, 50KB avatar/25KB sig, etc)

I mean it's clearly not inforced anyway mine hits the limit for height width

But I am always seeing text signatures that are larger than mine height wise at least

 

[PrincessLillie]

I'm not entirely sure myself. I've seen a button on especially-long signatures that allows you to expand it, but the site rules still have that section about the signature height and width.

As for specifying the width and height of an image, use GIMP.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

If you go above the image size limit, mods will most likely remove your signature, especially if it's way above the limit. It's best to simply follow the rules and keep it to 500x150.

 

[DinohScene]

I have removed signatures that exceeded size limits before.
Now, I personally don't care if it's slightly above but if it's unusually large or the filesize is massive then yes, mods will delete it.
