Do you guys think you could give us a tiny bit more space for a signature? It only accepts signatures up to 16KB or else the file is too large. My current signature is 112KB but I had to kinda work around the system to get it to accept it. The quality of the signatures doesn't look good because VBulletin automatically lowers the JPEG quality to reduce file size.

Heres what my sig looked like in Photoshop:

Heres the size that looks good that I wanted to upload:

But heres the only size and quality spacetime accepts:

If you keep the size 500 x 100 you can upload higher my Sig before this one was 54kbs and it took it just fine. I think this one was 36. Try originally making it on PhotoShop with a canvas size of 500 x 100 and try fitting everything you can in it that way then try uploading it then. Even when I resized Bigleazy's Sig for him and emailed it to him it was higher than 15kbs and it worked for him too. In the forum rules it says either 500 x 100 "or" 15kbs "which ever is smaller". If you even go over by 1 pixel then it can only be 15kbs. But if you stay 500 x 100 or under you can go higher than 15kbs then.

I need space, my current sig is 112KB.

Pharcyde... you could use make your sig skinnier... the pixels would render better and not look like so much wide-screen type.
Plus imo, I think smaller sigs look extremely decent :).

Tried it, it really takes away detail. Wide View gives it a little detail at least.

That sig is amazing. You have some great talent there.

I think they must have actually reduced the size allowed at some point. I could swear my sig used to be the full width of a post.

You need to resize it with keeping portions set the height at 100 and let it auto choose the width.

Here's some variations you can try that will all fit. Maybe you can add something on the sides to widen them out to look cool.

Thanks Cabero but I think I will stick to my current one. I have never been a fan of small signatures, they take away from the detail greatly.
