Making custom signatures and avatars has become a popular pastime at thephins.com, even in its infancy. But as the site continues to grow we need to reinstate a few rules and regulations in regards to them. Avatars: For all users, regardless of membership level, the maximum size of your avatar is to be no bigger than 152 by 152 pixels and 19.5 KB or under. Signatures: *NEW* 40K incremental jumps depending on membership level. FREE Membership: 400x300 pixels (height or width ie: if image is 400pxls high must be no wider the 300pxls and vice versa) 40k max Club Membership: 400x500 pixels (height or width ie: if image is 500pxls high must be no wider the 400pxls and vice versa) 80k max Luxury Box Membership: 400x500 pixels (height or width ie: if image is 500pxls high must be no wider the 400pxls and vice versa) 120k max Please keep to one image per sig. Exceptions may be made for smaller badge like images. The staff reserve the right to remove any sig they deem to be offensive, for example: the image contains nudity. (Refer to the TOS for a complete guide or ask a staff member if you are unsure) If you do not know how to check the sizes of your avatars and sigs to see if they fall within their respective guidelines simply ask one of our friendly staff members or post in this forum and someone will get to you asap. With all that said, design away!
