Is my signature fine? I'm pretty sure it is, but I figured I'd better check.

Yeah, you're still within the limits. :3

I do believe my signature is OK, but just to be sure...

Actually, the images next to each other like that make it too wide. It broke the old sig rules as well. o_O If you put them one on top of the other you'll be fine though I believe.

[justinrpg]

can you tell me if mine still meets the rules???

[Retro Gamer'93]

I think mine is probably too high so I'm doing a check on here real quick
Edit: Lol yeah way too high XD, fixing now
Edit: oh come on that just sucks, it's still too high by only 3 pixels lol

Will my current sig still be legitimate after these rules take effect?

No, it does not. If you look you can see the scrollbox.

This probably isn't how you want it to look, but for me it looks like this:

Ugh, I'm just going to completely take down my sig and just post come basic information, it seems CSS is going to be completely unpredictable otherwise.
Edit: Is it good now?

[Toujours]

Yeah, it's within the rules and not mushed together strangely, haha.

Just to let you guys know, the scroll box is up, but it isn't yet implemented on all styles (the styles that have custom postbits). I can't go through all the styles to check, but the vBulletin Default style has the scrollbox.

One of the reasons we decided to have scrollboxes there was to make it easier to know if your signature falls within restrictions, and eliminate the need to use this thread to ask if it does or doesn't. Just remember that if you're considering replying asking if your signature is within these new limits. While it isn't against the rules, you now have a sure-fire way to know if it is or isn't within the rules because of the scrollbox if you're using the appropriate forum style.

There's still a few days before this is enforced, and by that time, they'll be sure to be updated on all the styles that don't have the scrollbox up yet. But until then, switching to the vBulletin Default style and just looking at your signature area for a scrollbox (or scrolling on the signature for one to appear, depending on your system settings and operating system), you can see if it's within the limits or not.

I saw the notice for the new rules on signatures and I'm not sure if my former sig was okay. I decided to remove my NaNoWriMo 2011 word count calendar widget and that Dancing Trapinch I have had on there for years. I don't have a lot of pictures and I usually rely on text in my sig.

With the changes I just made, taking off that bigger widget, replacing it with a smaller one and finally ditching the Dancing Trapinch, am I in the safe zone or do I need to make further adjustments?

I know everybody has been asking you guys if their sig is within the new rules. I just don't want to get an infraction when the new rules are fully applied.

If you're worried about it, just switch to vB Default for a bit and then preview it when you go to edit it. If it's outside the limits you'll see a vertical scrollbar.

Yours isn't generating a scrollbar for me on the vB Default, however, so you're within the rules.

Good! I'm in the clear then! I guess this is finally goodbye to the Dancing Trapinch I have had in my sig.

I think I'll take the time to point this out. I am on my Wii and if a signature is too large, in which a set of scroll bars appear, on the Wii, the bars won't appear, rather it will just overflow the text into the post below it. justinrpg's signature does that to me anyways whereas before it didn't. It does work properly on the 3DS browser, though.

Just checking to see if im following new sig rules

[Cirno]

Is my signature fine? I think it is but still want to make sure. >:

EDIT: The width changes depending on what layout people use. Not sure what to do about that, honestly. It's an image and text aligned to the side.

EDIT2: Since the width fluctuates, I think it shouldn't be an issue since it's not a set amount of pixels but a fluctuating amount to fit people's layouts. Because of that, it won't really ever be too wide.

[Full Metal]

Does pawlicious implement the scroll box?
If not, could somebody point me to a theme that *does* ?
Or, is mine in compliance? I think it is... but, can't hurt to check.

Well, since the blank space rule only applies on height, it's fine. With width, text doesn't matter, so the fact that your text may be outside a 600px box doesn't contribute to anything. So basically as long as your images are within 600px, then all's good.

No scrollbox, so yup you are following the rules.

Yeah, Pawlicious does. :) There's only about 4 or so that don't implement it, anyway. But yes, yours is fine.

I see a scrollbox, so no, yours isn't. You're going to have to remove that blank space at the bottom. :x

[miltankRancher]

I think I am within my limits, (since I edited my sig which i thought broke these rules). So, is this still within the acceptable size?

No scrollbar, so your theme is perfectly fine! c:
