FYI - We do have requirements for the size of avatars and signatures that can be used on this site...

Signatures - No bigger than 720 pixels long x 180 pixels high.

Avatars - No bigger than 144 pixels x 144 pixels.

You can measure the pixels of an image by right clicking on the image, scrolling down to properties at the bottom of the list. This will bring up a box that will show you the dimensions of the image. Dimension shown = length x height

Image

You can change the dimensions (pixels) of an image in any photo editing program, including PhotoBucket. Select your image, click "edit image" then "resize" and enter the new pixel numbers next to "new size".

Also please make sure that signatures and avatars are PG rated. Many of us have children in the room while we are on the computer and don't want to be embarassed by what pops up!

ahh now you are going to make me think.... That converts to
180x720 signature or 144x144 avatar(that is an odd size). And I may need to resize mine..

I'm confused....

THIS is the Guideline for Avatars when editing your profile.

"Displays a small graphic image below your details in posts. Only one image can be displayed at a time, its width can be no greater than 80 pixels, the height no greater than 80 pixels, and the file size no more than 6 KB."

So why does it say here... 2x2 or 144pixels by 144 pixels?

Just curious.

I never understood that upload from your own computer stuff., the sizing is ridiculous. To link it directly from photobucket it must be this size or smaller Anything bigger would cause your post to shift - making people scroll over to see the post.

I don't get the sizing thing either. You can upload a huge avatar on this site currently but we are only allowing them to be 2x2 right now. In the future we may scale that back even further.
