For signature check, post here

post #1 of 70
Thread Starter 
Apparently many people would like their signatures checked or validated by a member of the mod squad. So that the announcement thread doesn't become a floodgate of requests, please post here if you would like your sig evaluated.

Hmm - no takers yet, so I'll "break the ice". I've ditched the gif signature and photo album link for the time being, and the current pictures are under 26 KB. The question is, are they "visually" too big?

The visual rule we are going by is 2" total, or maximum 150 pixels high at 72 dpi. Yours is just right at 150 pixels high (which can also be found in the Properties.)

Thanks, Heidi - that's good to know for future reference, i.e., the next time I get bored and change my siggy!

Well I posted on the other thread but I couldn't work this out -- is mine too big with the line of txt and the picture? I know my picture is below kb, but is it too much with them together? If so I'll get working tonight.

Sam,

The height is 182 pixels, which is over, and the text with the space only adds to it. Try and get the text next to the picture after you resize it.

Beth, yours is fine. 126 pixels high and 26 KB.

Hi Deb-

Thanks for that. I'll work on it this afternoon!

How do you check the DPI? Is mine okay? I checked my size, and height, and it's all fine, but I don't know how to check DPI? Is that under "Properties" too? Is mine okay?

Unless you are using a high end image program like Photoshop that allows you to specify the dpi for various outputs, the default dpi is 72. 72 dpi is also the recommended setting for making online graphics, since it allows for good clarity and faster load times.

I do use Photoshop.

If you have Photoshop and want to double check, open the image, then go to Image, Image Size. The dpi is the same as the Resolution. It is probably set at 72 pixels/inch, which is the default.

Sandra, your image is fine.

Mine?
post #16 of 70
You're fine too Tracey.
post #17 of 70
I'm pretty sure mine is OK now, however it's boring -- but I changed it so hopefully it wont clog anyone up. I actually quite liked having no siggy!

Thanks again.

Okay, I checked it... it is 72. Thanks!

It's too big, JulieAnne. I've resized your pictures:



If you copy and use them, you'll be within the size limits.
post #24 of 70
I think my siggy is ok, but could one of you guys let me know for sure? Thanks!
post #25 of 70
I'm pretty certain my signature meets specifcations, but I figured I would double check. Does it pass inspection?
post #26 of 70
How about mine? I hope it's fine, cuz I haven't got a clue how to change it.......
post #27 of 70
Every time I think I got it figured out... it turns out I'm more confused.

I really hope these two ticker things are going to be OK. I have some odd , off and on memory problems and being able to use these here would be wonderful.
I can't see the size...but I see they are easy to scroll past...and would even make me special in my own way.
What da' ya think ?
Fingers crossed...

If they're OK... then I'll find out why they are not working.

Thanks for your time.
-PlaidKitty- (I figured out too late ... much better name)
post #28 of 70
Until they are physically there the properties won't show
post #29 of 70
Thank you Hissy.
Guess I'll go see if I can try to fix them...then have you check for me.
I picked both very plain lines and just a pointer for them at the ticker site. Thinking that might keep them smaller.
I picked blue for my boy kitty and pink for my new baby girl kitten. This way I can keep track of their exact ages and have it right where I can find it without lots of trouble.

Wow ! Your prompt.
Thanks for all your help so far. I'm starting to like this site.

Sorry to bother you again.
I've got it this far, but now I'm not sure if it's going to be OK ?
