I think this should be the rule, or it will auto-resize it(if bigger).

ONE image only, 175 X 150 pixels

yeah, there are loads of Way too big sig pics here. It's one of the reasons I don't like apollo so much... (although it's not actually the source of the problem)

but, I'd make that limit to something like 320x64.
Meaning that the width doesn't matter as much as the height..

Why not just turn them off in your profile, there are only about 2 that are worth looking at, the rest just get in the way.

I don't like sig images. I cannot see the point. We have an avatar, who i think everyone execpt mouse ( because he is the famous avatarless fighting furball ) should have one. THIS MEANS YOU, NOOBS.

Your sig should have something funny in it (you know, some kind of geek joke) and maybe a link to yer site, and thats about it.

I don't mind transworlds one though, cos its only about 2 text lines high, so it doesn't look out of place, it just looks like a larger font sig. RPGamer on the other hand, has this huge one, which looks out of place. Dude, we all know about ED, could you just not waste my screen space?

P.S. I'm running 1280x1024 at home and 1600x1200 at my course.

OMG!!! They've read the BattleTech trilogy a bit too much! They're starting to act like the Trueborn/Freeborn relationships! One side just has to be different from the other!

if you could get the link into the image, instead of the text below it, it would be good. But that thing looks good, unlike most of the sig Images here.

and Transworld has a good sized sig image. Okay, it's not that pretty but it fits the page well.

Exeat > that's way too big. That's because it takes too many lines of text.

and Darwin, why do you have to use that turning head thingy. It's an avatar image, not a sig image.

yeh. but the problem with darwin's pic is that there's absolutely no real reason to keep it.

Your sig pic looks great, but what's the point? Sig pics are usefull for promoting your websites and all that.

Sig images look pretty, sometimes. I don't mind them, as long as they don't take up 1/5 or more of my IE window. It's kinda like the little space to pimp your photoshop skillz, or something.
