Hapori Tohu Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 As our anniversary week continues, today we're realizing that after thirteen years, one hundred kilobytes of space is pretty small for your avatar and signature. So starting today, avatars and signatures can take up a combined 250 kB of space. Additionally, embedded images can now go up to 750 kB before they need to be linked to instead of 500 kB. What cool things will you show off with all this space? View the full article 2 Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Very sensible decisions. This is the year 2014 after all. -Gata 2 Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-N Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I guess I can show off even more blank space in my signature now. 3 Quote "What we see depends mainly on what we look for" -John Lubbock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaT in Rogue Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Good to see BZPower slowly entering the 21st century. This is probably going to lead to a lot of creativity with sigs and what not.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I like my avatar and sig the wat they are now, so I won't be changing anything right now. But it's nice to have these options if I ever do decide to change them. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

TakuaNova Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is actually happening 3 days after I got warned for signature size. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is actually happening 3 days after I got warned for signature size. I'm sure we'll both look back on this and laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Ha, ha, ha. finally we are freed from the endless cycle of sig PM warnings. well except in really egregious cases. 5 Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Pomegranate Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That's awesome news! Definitely gonna take advantage of that. I already went and changed my avatar to its original higher res PNG format And now the pomegranate is draggable, too; hurray for transparency!The next step is to increase the avatar size limit by 4 pixels.

Pupwa21 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is perfect for me. Now I can upload some edited gifs for my Avatar and Sig. Quote Looks like it's the end of the line for 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronicler06 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Seeing as the increased limit of images is in kB and not pixel sizes, I guessing that the current restrictions on pixels sizes remain. I personally don't use large images, but I'm sure the fellow members who do will find this to be good news. Quote Formerly known as Takanuva's Symbol, I rejoined BZPower on October 10, 2012.

fishers64 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well, the next time I kick in an banner for one of my epics, I won't have to worry about tipping the scale. Excellent. And it appears that all of my other banners are from the 1990's. Dang. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So it looks like the current menu for changing your signature says that "Your signature may contain: • Images of any size." Given that the 800x300 rule is still in effect, as evidenced by the bounding box visible, this seems to suggest that members have license to use any file size of image. Perhaps it should be reworded to reflect the actual limit? ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
