Signature Rules

I'd just like to remind you guys what our signature rules are, seeing as a lot of people seem to be unsure.

Image signatures must:

1. Be 200px or under in height
2. Be under 100 KB in size
3. Be a still image, NOT a moving GIF
4. Contain only text. For example, an image such as this is okay, but an image such as this is not allowed.


I know we're a little strict with the whole 'images in images' thing, but I'll just explain reasoning. If someone has a small picture, sure, it's not that big a deal, it won't affect the size of the signature, etc. But we have to maintain these rules exactly as they're written, because if one thing is okay, then why isn't another?

If a small, monochromatic image is okay, who says a photograph isn't? Who says that photograph won't be triggery or offensive? Who says even a small, monochromatic image isn't offensive? Not only this, but image sizes creep up without us noticing, and whilst it's nothing for most of us with broadband, many users, as well as IAR's administrators also access the site from out mobile phones, and large images (be it file size or actual size) make this extremely difficult.

Originally we weren't even going to allow images in signatures on IAR, so given that we've gone lax on that, we'd like you to obey the rules we do have. It's really that we just have to stick within the boundaries we've created. Small things lead to small things lead to bigger things, and we don't want to domino-effect into chaos, do we? (:

Hey guise,
I got a message saying i broke an IAR signature rule, but it didnt say whats wrong with it?
Could someone please explain what i did wrong so i can fix things right away?
Thanks.

Your signature was over 200px in height. All you have to do is resize the image and you're good to go (:

Thank you, was it removed or soemthing (it dosnt show up anymore) if i upload the resized will it show?

Are signature background allowed to be any colour other than the background colour of IAR? And I don't mean when people have white and it stands out.

I mean is it allowed to have, say a black or blue background colour?

Thank you very much Mikey!
