The signature size was updated last year to 600 x 160 at 100 KiB, and personally I think that's a pretty good height given the average size of most posts. I personally find it annoying when the size of the signature seems to be bigger than the actual post content.
P.S. Xefi: by the time you include the text, your signature is too big. It needs to fit in the box.

Maybe, but... I'm also a bit afraid of people going a bit too spastic on the animation all over the place if they get more file size. Not saying I'm so against it... but I don't necessarily want to rush into it either.

i guess i'm just too use (spoiled) to by the bigger size and not really annoyed by it. if you guys don't like to increase it anymore, i dont really mind much, 600x160 is a nice size. i can live with that. Quote:

Big thanks to the Moderators for the Avatar size increase! My new avatar would not be possible otherwise.
I agree with Kanon on actual size dimensions. I think Anime Suki has now hit the perfect balance size-wise. I agree with Relentlessflame that I tend to dislike it when sigs take up more space on discussion threads than the actual discussion does.

Personally I think we're already pushing the size of signatures and avatars as it is, and I won't be in favor of making them any larger anytime soon. And to be honest, while I used to champion larger signature sizes, I'm starting to find it more pleasant to browse forums with much smaller signatures or signatures disabled entirely. I've considered turning them off here, sometimes.

Graphic to text ratio feels outta whack and the extra scrolling that arises from larger dimensions isn't something that I'm too thrilled about either. Could take some getting use to, but I'll just go out and venture a guess that I'm probably in the minority here anyway lol (now I'm curious, maybe we can make a site wide poll and find out? )

^ the feeling's mutual. at first, i was like "YAY" bigger avatar! now? lol...it seems
like it looks bigger than my sig! it's something i'm going to have to get a use to as well. Quote:
20 pixels bigger. i have no problem, but the odds are against me in this. but if you guys do change your mind in the future, i still think 600x180 is the best and max you should go for. 180 in height isnt just for the sig alone, i'm more frustrated to not be able to keep any texts in the sig. the texts i put in before doesnt really affect anything in scrolling or bothers anyone, but forum's rule is forum's rule (got busted :P). dont tell me make the sig even smaller to fit in those texts. i dont favor smaller sig. i guess i'll just work with whatever we got now. :P

I've gotten rather tired of large signature graphics myself. Like Solace, I think the primary purpose of a forum is discussion. After all, signature graphics rarely change, so after the first or second viewing, they are largely noise and get in the way of reading.
