Guys, Just to give you an idea, one line of standard forum text is about 15 pixels high.
This is just a guide, but it is what we worked on when working the rules up.
The Signature section should be no more than 180 pixels high. This is the space between the dashed line above the signature and the solid line at the bottom of the signature. The Forum software automatically inserts a space of 1 line at the top of the section. (approx 15 pixels gone already) This would allow you to have 4 lines of text (60 Pixels) and the EHM signature Banner. (98 Pixels)
The reasoning behind this..... Well to be honest, topics become so long due to the fact that somebody types "Yes, I agree" in response to a forum post and then has 6 signature graphics and 6 lines of text and a blank space of 5 lines below their signature.... This was an actual Signature by the way. (When trawlling the forums, I found a member with this in their signature section) I also found this while I was moving house and was on Dial Up..... It took about 5 minutes to load the forum page!
Now, don't think we want to bash you over the head with rules, we just want people to use a little common sense and courtesy. Now for the name and shame section, and don't get me wrong, this is just for fun!
Signature Heights at 11:00 zulu on Sunday!
Mine: 156 Pixels
Murrays: 229 Pixels
Javier: 201 Pixels
Ben: 265 Pixels (Largest)
Iain:162 Pixels
Brian: 144 Pixels (Smallest)
Paolo: 190 Pixels
I hope this clears this section up a little. Again, don't think we are limiting your freedoms, we are just trying to add a little courtesy to the forums, a lot of people can get their signatures down to the correct size, just by removing the blank spaces!
EDIT* Sorry Brian, in answer to your question, this is the only officially made Sig graphic for EHM at the moment.... I will take it up with the art & design department and see how hard it would be to get some more!
