Restrictions on Animated Avatars and Signatures

Aya looks as nice in your sig without animation. :)

Thats what I told him :mrgreen:

She doesnt have to be moving to look cute.

Genma wrote:Rules have been set. Refer to your profile page for details beside the signature and avatar fields.

In short, total size of avatar+signature images must not exceed 200kB, regardless of animation and display size.

Genma, just because I'm a Computer Science geek at heart and also an engineer by profession, how about making the combined limit 256K (2^8) instead of 200K?

That way it's in a traditional binary increment: :mrgreen:
256K = 1 0000 0000
200K = 0 1100 1000


Or, for hexadecimal: :victory:
255K = FF



Veni vidi vino! :drink:

All i understood was....lets make it 256K :hehe:
The rest is bunch of something i don't understand :beaten:

PCM, You are so SMART!!

Sounds like an elegant solution. ;)

Great, so you mean there's no need to order the "Remove Stupidity in 5 Easy Steps" course? :hehe:

And PCM, even I couldn't get more geeky than that your logical response. Next you'll be saying that we should only speak in binary. :D ;)

Oh man, save us from the 1+1=10 equation :hehe:

To be totally correct, it should be 1b + 1b = 10b. :beaten:

1111 1111 -> 0 to 255. (256 positions)
please do not carry on wrong information.

even if this would be a good thing, binary size limits for avatars
are not usual (do not have seen any).

edit: photobucket (http://photobucket.com) has limited the filesizes to 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512kbytes. the user has the choice.

since most of the mods are MIA most of the time, im wondering if anyone is monitoring this... i've seen quite a few ani-gifs in signatures that are 500k+ in size, and a few have more than one.

just thought i'd point that out.

^ I've noticed, but am powerless to do anything about it.

Hello Mixxedreamer, my first post since 2004, yoroshiku ne.

i have no 'e' on my username hehe :P but welcome back!! :glomp:

Oops, I thought it was "mixxed." sorry, :).

I've already sent PMs to a few users.

Do let me know their names if you find users with signatures/avatars that do not adhere to the guidelines. Thanks. :)
