I was wondering if an animated siggy (well technically an image) was allowed. Such as icons, etc??? What are the rules and guidlines regarding this matter?

Curious if the one I have up (temporary of course if this is not permitted) is allowed? I put it up for an example!

That image is WAY too big, which really is the problem with the animated images. Our size limit is a total of 150 pixels high, which it does meet (114), AND a max of 30 kb. That image is 262 KB.

If you can find one that meets our signature criteria, you're welcome to use it, but most animated animate are simply too large in size.

Thanks finally... See I dont know how to tell how big it is or how to adjust the size... If that is even possible, Im not so sure... I wasnt trying to be a pain just curious. I know we have size limitations and that is why i asked!!! Holy Crips on the kb... If I find an image and post it can you tell me if they are to big? Here are the ones I was thinking... They are little zombie... Im not sure if that is allowed either. Ill ditch the sig as soon as I finish this post:




I know... Im a strange girl... Are either of these in the size requirements????

that bottom one is 62kb, the top is 15kb, but i don't know if that's really appropriate for a family site.

I figured it was not family orientated, it was more a comparison of size between the single animation and the full line of different animations (the only animated ones I have to use for an example at this point)... Dont worry I wont use em... Is my current siggy ok?

You can right click on any image and click properties and it will tell you how big it is

the max for TCS is 150px high, 640px wide and 30,000 bytes (about 29.3kb)

The one in your sig is the right size, the smaller of the animated ones is within regulation but as Renovia said, not exactly forum friendly

I figured I mean his head is exploding... It was worth asking and great for size comparison... At least the one I have now is decent sized... Till my sis makes me a siggy this will do!
