Signature size feedback thread

Post by bookworm »

We didn’t have the discussion before the change, so we’ll have it now.
The new size is in place, we can see it in action, feedback goes here.


Now that I’ve seen actual examples of what this is going to be like, my initial thoughts from just seeing the placeholders were definitely confirmed. This size is a bit too large.
It’s not something that’s so visually averse to me that it’s going to make my eyes explode, so I personally am not going to push for a change, but I would strongly support one if considered.
As I and others have said, 450x125 looks just right. With this one confirmed as too large for my personal taste, I would favor something between the two. If a change is considered in the future.

It is a little too big for my liking as well... I'm just fine with 450x125. I'd join you, if you decided to "push for change." :mrgeen:

I don't think further modification is necessary.

Ok, well, can we discuss why the size was changed? I'm confused as to why it meed changing... I suppose my "leave well enough alone/if it ain't broke don't fix it" side is showing, isn't it? :mrgreen: However I would still like to know the reasoning behind the chnage.

It was because sig makers desired some extra room to work with. Which I support, the old size could definitely be restrictive at times. But this, I believe, was overcompensation.

Fact: It's *just* a signature.

Personally I'd say let's wait 6 months for when the larger size is used more so we can see the total effect. Then, review it. If it's not liked it can be changed. :shrugs:

The thing about that is if you can already tell it’s too large with just a few around, having a bunch more people use them isn’t going to change your mind, it will only further confirm the already confirmed opinion.

That's why I use 450x125 most of the time. :yes: I am also among the people that support 450x125. 500x125 just seems 50 pixels toooooo big..
^AIOluver^

Who am I? I'd rather not answer that question, the real question is, "Who are you?". Right now I am trying to think of something witty to put here.. I might not find anything, but that's fine. This block of text should be fine for a signature. Wait, are you still reading this? Why are you reading this? Stop. Seriously.
STOP.
This sentence is true.
The sentence above is false.

I dare you not to read this.
Hey! I said not to read this.
Maybe if I talk like this.
Wait, you still see me? *sighs* I give up.
