NB The over-large sigs referred to earlier have been removed. Please bear in mind that TM is a Discussion Forum which means we should be using words rather than images in our posts.

At 7748 bytes yours is quite small (sorry, you know what I mean :oops: !) and is discrete but effective so there are absolutely no problems with it. The ones which are the size of a house present different problems and, as has been said, just clutter the thread with images thus tending to hide the text and discussion aspect.

Pointlessly big

Would be just as effective if it were smaller and less obtrusive!

True...it's gone anyway as I don't think it was that good. There's not really much point having an image for no reason o_0.

cheers,

If you could get yours down to the same physical dimensions as the ones from seige and stephenmagic it would be better. At the moment the large sigs (not just yours!) tend block the text and the eye skips over a lot of the posts as it seems to be all just images.

You're getting there! Any chance of a little less height - perhaps 2/3rds of above? As you can see, with one line of text above it still tends to overshadow things a bit.

Perfelti, seems to me that the thing about your signature is that it has no point whatsoever. It's just a few pictures of Criss spliced into a photoshop image. Why not just put I like Criss Angel in your signature and not have an image at all? I know what he looks like!

Sorry to be harsh but I really don't see the point...

And aside from all else, it's now hideously deformed because its aspect ratio is wrong.

Actually, it's now correct, they actually strech him out for tv.

I might be mistaken about that of course.
