The Shadow Guard Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Please take another look at the banners in your signatures. In the aftermatch of the excellent ETL2012 and your personal achievments, it is not surprising that many of you are wearing the competition abnners with pride. However, as good as these banners are, many of your signatures are breaching B+C rules, especially when they exceed 800pxls. I have created alternate medallion style baners for the three ETL banners as well as the 2012 LPC banners. They are displayed below and you have my permission to use them. If there are other banners from events you wished turned in to similar ribbons please let me know. I will over the next two weeks try and create shorter banners which will also give you a combination of options to mix and match. http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/Img_CH00_08Awards_02_LPC_2012C.gifhttp://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/Img_CH00_08Awards_02_LPC_2012D.gifhttp://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/Img_CH00_08Awards_03_ETL_2012A.gifhttp://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/Img_CH00_08Awards_03_ETL_2012B.gifhttp://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/Img_CH00_08Awards_03_ETL_2012C.gif Please look again at your signatures or the dreaded Administratum willd escend and make the changes for you :P :tu: SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skink Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have often wondered about this. I'm not hugely computer savvy when it comes to things like this, so how can I tell how big my signature is? I've read the B&C rules in the past, but the fact remains I have no idea whether I'm exceeding the 800 pixel limit. Actually, for other folk in a similar position to me, having done a big of digging, if you can locate the file on your storage system, right click, properties, summary, then the info is all there. For reference, the 'standard' LPC/ETL banners are 350 pixles wide, and the medallions are 100 pixels wide. So, for example, we could have two standard banners, and then a single medallion (hopefully what I've set up in mine!!). Hope this waffling is of help to others!

HI Sking, The you got it right except that the LPC Banner is 350 pxl wide, the ETL is 400pxls wide....so you still have 50pxls left :lol: The medallions are in fact 100pxl in height and only 33 oxls wide.....

The Shadow Guard Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 +++ UPDATE ON ETL and BHoA BANNERS, MEDALLIONS & BADGES +++ Given the proliferation of banners from the ETL and BHoA competitions, which was quite an unexpected phenomenon, rpobably as the organizers didn't entirely expect the level of passion and participation that emanated from the competitions. Although we are very happy with the success of the event and are rightly proud to see these banners flutter within the many forums, they are breaching many of the B+C rules and ethics. In order to allow easier compliance I have resized them to an acceptable level.

Another option is to use the medallions in your signature and use the full banners within your profile. SG PS: These are all hosted on the Fortress web site and I am happy for all to use them. I have no idea how to load them to the B+C. :P If someone wants to reload them then you can use BT's links from the previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
