opps nvm.. i juz did it..

sign?

You mean sig?

Probably.

Newbie terminology. :hehe:

got bored yesterday waiting for torrents to finish so made new sig - a tribute to sekachu.
Was originally planning on quoting around 5 user reviews on the jdorama database for the text anims but had to scrap it due to the 200kb restriction. :shakehead:

200KB? Hrm, that sounds a little too small.

1 MB I think most would agree as being too big.

I defer to others as to the happy medium in between which balances performance versus features.

not as bad as this other site I go to.. they have a 4kb size limit.

Speaking of which, Subaru, you might wanna re-work your ava and sig, 'cause they're over the limit...

Just so you know, I ain't picking on you, bud, these new guidelines are for everybody here... :sweat:

How is my Avatar over the limit?

I thought it was a 200kb limit?

that leaves only 2 things to change.

The avatar is fine. It's the animated gifs in the signature that needs tweaking.

The sum total (ava+sig) has to be <=200KB...

Being a computer science person, I'd prefer to see the limitation set at the more natural binary increment of 256K! :victory: :hehe:

I agree :hehe:
But actually, its better than the usual 100kb imposed size limits.

LOL I can still make avatars with that.. hell I got one for 4kb

Go for it, bud. :thumbsup:

i'm sure he will. :hehe:

for 4kb, that is about what my avatar is, and my sig pix, shrunk it down where it is less than 10kb, so i think i am well under the limit of 200kb, until i update my avatar/sig pix, i think my next ones will be closer to 200kb, combined of course. :bonk:

a new week, a new sig...
decided to make another sig to depict the sad moments of Sekachu (yes, i know, i'm going nuts...)

its tricky to make an animated sig to convey sadness (without going over the 200kb limit :)) so decided to go with static monochrome images with added film grain and text anims... one of simplest ones i've made so far... meaning, easy to do...

was planning on addin some rose petals, but i dont have one in my picture libraries... as soon as i find some nice ones, i'll surely put some in...

oh, and if someone here could anwer my question on the typing in japanese thread, i'd surely appreciate it...
