SIGGY SIZE:  The siggy size max is 500 px long x 100 px tall. No moving graphics, no sales or site promotion images and/or links are allowed in siggies.    The size includes writing, and graphics so you will need to size photos accordingly.  See below

Below is an example of the the 500 x 100 size 

TEXT BELOW OR ABOVE PHOTO:  If you want write something below/above photo, try to size accordingly.  For example, if you want to write something above your photo, the text default on this site is 13px, so you will want to make the image/photo 87px tall instead of 100px tall.    Be sure to but this code
after the text if it is above the photo.   Or put
after the photo code otherwise, you could have additional spaces or your text may line up weird with your photo. 

I know this is still a bit limiting for some, but the reason we do this is that if the signature gets much bigger, it takes away from how many posts can be viewed at a time, and in some cases with lots of replies, large photos, can get distracting.  So please keep your signatures within the size requirement.  

That said, here's a link to the other Signature pinned post explaining how to make your signature, complete with illustrations.

HOW TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF YOUR SIGGY WITHOUT HAVING TO RESIZE AND REPASTE ORIGINAL   This is only easier IF you are HTML savvy already

HTML doesn't understand the height property of an image link when used in HTML. You you must use the width property (width="x") to control the height of your image proportionally.  Remember that if you have text above or below, the size requirements INCLUDE the text, so you have to shrink you images down even smaller. 

Steps to reduce your signature to a maximum of 100 pixels in height:

1. Determine the size of your current signature photo(s). 
      Example: My image is 96 pixels wide by 160 pixels in height

2  Divide 100 by the your image height.  Your Image Height / 100 = Percentage
       Example: 160/100 = .62

3. You must determine the new width of your image to proportionally shrink your images height. Image Width x Percentage = New Image Width
        Example: 96 x .62 = 60 (New width of your image)
4. Insert the new width of 60 pixels into your image links like this:

typo:  You can play with that number to GET the height down. 

If you have more than one image, you must do this for each of your image links.

You can wing it a bit if you have the Ruul Screen ruler for Chrome and do what I do.  I measure the the width and height, and then adjust the width down until the height measures at 100px with Screen Ruler tool. It usually takes me a couple of tries. 

Why is there a huge space after my siggy pic? I checked and there is no spaces after it in my profile. Thanks

There is an amount of space that has to be there due to the avatar to the left AND a space for the date below if you edit a post. When you reply with short answers you will see more of that required space. If your answers are longer, that space underneath will shrink. See your other post http://www.binkybunny.com/tabid/54/...fault.aspx and you will notice the difference. : )
