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.

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.

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.

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!
