Just a little reminder to everyone that the combined total of the size of both avatars and sigs should be no more than 80k.

The Rules

QUOTE said:
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 images, avatars and signatures are constantly reviewed by the moderating staff. Images 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 graphic. You may go under and but NOT over the 500x150 pixel guideline. No exceptions.

500x150.gif


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)

Using Opera you can right click on the pic and select Image Properties to view the size, not sure about other browsers but they're probably similar.

edit : Beat to the punch!

I think there's an extension for Chrome that allows for viewing file properties in the browser, I'm not sure what it was called though... Otherwise, I don't think it's THAT hard to code so someone her could maybe make an extension

Lol I think this was a way to get people not to do what i did.

THANKS FOR NOTHING! :wtf:

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I put 3 flash games in my sig and they were all over 1.6 MB :wtf: and they had to remove it, so don't have that happen to you.

Should have read the rules from the start, it's not like they haven't always been there.

In Chrome you can't check file sizes, so you'll have to right click -> save as

There is an easier way to do that with Opera if the name of the picture isn't too big;
