No ugly and visually offensive high-contrast colours.

Oh noes. I'll alert the authorities. I expect a strongly worded letter any day now. It's 70px more in height. I'm sorry if it caused you, or your family any distress. While I'm at it. I'd also like to take this opportunity to apologize for apartheid and any woodland creatures which might have been used for perfume testing by Estee Lauder in the past. Even though I was not born back then, I'm sure that my offensive 70 pixels somehow contributed greatly to those events, which have obviously caused undue distress to people like Monk.
Please. Forgive me.
Sigh, typical response I suppose.

Well, he needs to get his attitude fixed. And fast. If someone points out that you're not following the rules you don't reply with such a childish attitude. Breaking the rules is breaking the rules. There's no grey area.

Someone appointed the Taste Police yet? Anyone able to give an example of an arrangement of colours that is "ugly and visually offensive high-contrast"?

It really is an eye-watering contrast :(

Hi, I have no idea why it isn't working for you. I haven't disabled anything. Really weird :( I'm trying to figure it out.

Blergh.
Just noticed that mine is gone. When I had my sig made up, I googled what standard sizes there are. 500x150 was what was the recommend across the internet. So I followed those guidelines. Now I have to get someone to make me up a new one because it's too big :(

Ofcourse, it has it's price. All I need from you is a proper link where I can download some ram. Thanks.

Can anyone comment on the size of my sig, if it's acceptable, yes or no ?
I have no idea about it's dimensions, as I had made for me more than 2 years ago, :D
James
16-10-2011, 09:24 PM
StoneCold; yours is 500x150. It must be 600x130 max.

Damn, ok, I'll rather remove it then, seeing that I don't have the skills to make it smaller, unless someone can help me out ?
Sorry do you think you would be able to help me resize mine into spec as well.
Thanks :D

Avatars and signatures
4. Signatures may consist of a maximum of one image no larger than 600 width and 130 height.
5. No Flash/animated signatures. No ugly and visually offensive high-contrast colours.

The problem with that signature is it's probably more annoying that what you are replacing. :(
