README: The TFF rules have been updated!

[Furore]

It was fine to me and i have a 1280x1024 resolution. Ye i did change mine but silvers stayed teh same.

Yeah I found the same thing. And I did resize a little. Shaved off just enough pixels to make it smaller than Merlins. I'm thinking it may have been Merlin using an alternate browser though as I'm using Opera which ain't exactly the most widely used browser, despite it using less resources than both Internet Explorer and even Firefox.

Regardless I was thinking of making a new sig banner, and I looked at where the SIGNATURE LIMITS rules were. I'm pretty sure the limits for a sig banner's size are:

Also, if your signature is 75% of the viewing area on a 1024x768 resolution, IT IS TOO LARGE. There is no reason why people should have to scroll down an entire page just to get through your signature. That's ridiculous.

In other words, if you have an image (or series of images) that is taller than 450 pixels, you will be asked to remove it. Text and images together should not account for more than 600 pixels in height, as that is more than large enough. If you don't alter your signature after being asked, it will be altered for you. Continued abuse will result in a signature ban.

The thing I love most about these new rules is that everything you need to know seems to be either in the new rules post or linking directly from it. Note that my original signature http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a..._good_text.png , measures a staggering 550 x 400 pixels, where 550 = width and 400 = height. The monitor I am currently using runs at it's native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels, but I found lowering it to 1280 x 1024 didn't make much of a difference in terms of what I saw concerning 'breaking the postbit'. It just made all text look blurry and ugly as hell as my monitor is widescreen...
Hell, Another Chance to Live's is currently 600 and it's not causing a negative effect for me neither.

This basically leads me to conclude that my signature was within the allowed size as Toph concluded the other day, and I do believe I'll be going back to it, as this resized version is of a lower quality.

Note from just above the sig cutoff line, extending past my 'edit' and 'quote' controls, the area stands at 521 pixels, an over-estimate.
