In order to make Parenting Club enjoyable for all members, including those with dial-up connections and smaller screen resolutions, we ask that everyone keep their siggy size within the new standards for signatures.

Please keep your total signature to 300 (height) X 600 (width). I've made a template to demonstrate the maximum size, please feel free to use this template to measure your signature:

http://www.parentingclub.com/siggy_size.html

Please note: All the elements of your signature, including text, buttons, tickers and pictures should fit within 300 (height) X 600 (width). If you have any questions, or need help resizing your signature, please email or PM myself or one of the moderators.

Thank you in advance for making Parenting Club a great place for everyone!

Just make a return in between the image and ticker codes. That way the ticker will be under the image and it will be ok smile.gif

Kirsten,

I don't think it meets the size recommendations. Can you size the pic down a bit?

I'll just take the picture off of it, maybe that will help.

Posted by: Nicole Nov 30 2004, 02:28 PM
I`m not tryng to be mean or start stuff, but as soon as i was told my siggy was to big i fixed it, so why is it that people that have asked if their siggy was to big and were told yes never fixed it?

Posted by: Kirstenmumof3 Nov 30 2004, 02:45 PM
Okay I'm not impressed! I've just removed the picture from my signature, because of the post above me! It's fixed now! This was the first time I've ever been able to put a perfessional photograph of all 3 of my children and now I've had to remove it and why, because I don't know how to resize it and my husband doesn't know how to resize it! So it's fixed!

Posted by: Nicole Nov 30 2004, 02:49 PM
I was not talking about you at all! Really i wasn`t!

hey everyone, i havent been on this for a while, and i really dont remember how long my signature is or even how to get it to go across instead of up and down, sorry if its too long, please someone let me know, bye

Is mine OK??? I can't figure out how to put my blinkies underneath each other, instead of side by side. Any suggestions?

Posted by: 3_call_me_mama Jan 23 2006, 07:38 AM
I see the size ti's supposed to be but how do i actually measure it? not sure if mine is ok.. but no one has ever told me different.... maybe if there are people that someone notices siggy is too big maybe a pm and how to fix teh problem would work great ... cause some of us just aren't figuring this out (and i may be one of them...) a bumped up thread doesn't help someone that thinks thiers is ok if it really isn't (even if it's just a littel too big) just a thought though.. thanks wink.gif

okay, both yours and mine are two centimeters outside of the box...I personally think you're fine....and Jamison loves your Blues Clues siggy smile.gif

Posted by: My3LilMonkeys Jan 23 2006, 09:39 AM
Do I measure from the little dashes or from the top of my name? If I measure from the top of my name to the bottom of my last ticker it seems to just fit but from the dashes to the bottom of the post it would be too big. Is there are certain website whose tickers are shorter than others so I could shrink it but still keep them all?

I was just going by the box size. Chill. Shouldn't Mods follow the rules?

Pam - measure from the dashes on down. I'll look & see if there's any smaller tickers for you.

Yes your correct but its not THAT much bigger AND we as mods NEVER out people on the board in front of other we pm them you should know that dry.gif

Posted by: My3LilMonkeys Jan 23 2006, 01:02 PM
In case anyone else is wondering, tickercentral.com seems to have the smallest tickers. Now I can keep all 3 and still fit. biggrin.gif

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh I have resized this picture 50 times and its SMALL in photobucket and SMALL in PSP and adobe. Here its HUGE ARGHHHHHH

I have it at 250x255 so that i can have th blinkies and ticker. BUT this stupid pic keeps coming huge WHY!!!!
HELP LOSING MY NOODLES bawling.gif


Edited____ did someone do something cause now its all of a sudden small LOL wth

Posted by: ~~*Missi*~~ Feb 11 2006, 09:43 PM
ok since its small now, seriously am i going to have to adjust for a centimeter???? Is that really going to make that big of difference in loading time for dial up a cm???

Please tell me NO cause it takes forever for this to adjust right. I am working on a new siggy that will be made the guidelines so this is a temp thing.

I put the box there and its a smidge over like cut the bottom of the ticker off!

Posted by: Lexismama Feb 15 2006, 08:35 AM
Personally I think if its a TAD over its ok, but a huge one needs to be adjusted. SMO

O.K. I need to make mine smaller. I would like to replace my tickers with some of those little "mini" boxes people have on theirs. (sorry, I don't even know what they are called) They have all sorts of messages in them, I hope you can figure out what I'm talking about, and could you let me know what web sites they can be found on? Thanks!

Do you mean something like this--->user posted image? If so it's called a blinkie. You can get them if you google blinkie sites. I made this one. But that's what they are...blinkies. wink.gif

checking mine
UGH! I hate this! Everytime I make one it never fits. If i resize it it end sup being so tiny that you cant' read it. Oh well guess I'll just leave teh ticker in there and forget teh pictures.
And i dont' want anyone making one for me, cause it kinda takes teh fun out of it for me.

Posted by: gr33n3y3z Aug 28 2006, 03:39 PM
I've noticed a few big signatures
so could everyone check please
Thank you smile.gif

Posted by: YuMe-n-GavMakes3 Aug 28 2006, 04:22 PM
As a Newbie WITH dialup I first had more trouble on this site than I ever have on any other site I've been to. So Yep! theres some massive signatures here.

Some of the Signatures are so picture & video filled here that certain threads actually froze up my computer if those members had more than one post on the same page. Trust me image size has nothing to do with it, a sig can be small yet have links to 15 different pictures and 3 tickers and that equals a 45 minute download time for ONE page to a dialup user.

Most would simply say.....Well why don't you get D.S.L or broadband/satelite then? Believe it or not there actually are places in the country that STILL have no access to D.S.L or broadband. And satelite here would cost over $700.00 for the installation equipment PLUS be over $70.00 per month. I like my internet! But not THAT much.

Anyhoo.........

I can not expect the rest of the world to conform THEIR internet to fit my needs!
(But its sure nice of the Mods here to try and keep it in check)

I would suggest IF there are any other members like me that live under a rock in a cave. Simply go to your 'Control Panel' then click 'Board Display Settings' and set the first few choices to speed up your surfing on this site,

Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics? [No]

Do you wish to view images in posts, such as smilies and posted images? [No]

This will speed up your page upload time tenfold!
IF you ever want to read all the signatures or pic's just look Before you log in and you'll still see them all.


Just a suggestion
