30, 000 bytes is a good size to make a normal pixel sig or basicly anyother sig, but it surly isn't enough to make a GOOD animation sig. i found my animated sigs turn out to be like 80,000 or 90,000 (yes i know i can reduce the colour, but than the sig looks cheap :P )

yeah i know....same thing for me

They have that rule so the forum still loads quickly for people with slow internet connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However what I don't understand is why we cant have wider sigs as 400 by 100 is an ideal size :roll:

I 100% agree with you, 300 width is just craxy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THe 30,000 bytes i find to be fine.

 

 

 

Yah you have to optimize your animations but they still look ok. :?

300 wide is so people can view the forums alongside something (such as RS) without having to scroll sideways.

 

 

 

150 high is so people don't have to scroll down too much.

 

 

 

30,000 bytes is to make the boards suitible for dialup users.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, I think these limits should remain. Although screens are generally wider nowadays than they were 2-3 years ago when the rules were made, the Runescape window is also bigger. While I agree it does reduce what we can do in terms of animation, signatures are meant to identify us to other users, not show our ability at making movies. Most of the time people just flash their eyes over it to identify the user, and in any case, they only need to actually watch the animation a few times. We have the media board to show off our movie directing skills :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though I have adsl, at recent visits to other rs forums to check out what's goin' down, I found the amount of rubbish filling up the page to be appalling. People with 2 or more huge images and 6-10 lines of text. It's just ugly and unnecessary :-?
