How is mine? Not really sure how to check the number of pixels etc...

Waaay too wide in text (over 1000px). Press enter after "Challenge" in the blue text and make the green text one size smaller and you should be fine.

Spoilers were removed because they got annoying to some and made it hard to check if a signature was within the limits or not. Even if it was in a spoiler tag, that did not exclude it from the limits. Right now, yours is actually 202 pixels too high.

we count the images separately, right? because I am not getting 502 pixels of height here.

How exactly are the pixels counted?

Right click the image, click properties, or view image info, whatever gives you the size in your browser. Just get all their measurements, then add them together and that's the total image pixels. Your signature issue is the text+images, though. Just press prtscn, or any other screenshot program and paste it into an image editing program. Just select the area of your signature and check your total size from there.

Now, I'm a bit confused as well. Can a staff member please check my signature as well?

Yours is fine~

(the only thing being edited was total image+text size, aka 530px x 350px to 600px x 400px).

The use of CSS in signatures cannot be used to bypass the latter limit either. A staff member has the right to disable your signature if they feel you are using CSS to bypass the 500 × 300 limit. In addition to the aforementioned rules, there are further rules in which you must abide by; you will find these rules listed below.

Too complicated and confusing for me. Does that mean you can't have a 500 by 300 image as the base for CSS if you put a 499 by 299 image/text on top of it? Also, does my current siggy abide by the new rules? I don't want it in those orange tags again on November 25th.

When you say 500x300 can that work either way? Like 500 tall 300 long, and vice versa? or does it only apply to one specific way?

This community has got to have the most rules I've ever seen about signatures, lol.

Okay, I edited my sig. Can you check if it's good now, and how much space I have over/under? Thanks.

Too tall, your text contributes also.

Yes it does. 500x300 can be a base for CSS if the CSS is on top of the image. It's also too tall, text attributes to the height.

Wide then height. So 500px wide and 300px in height.

It's due to the size really, got to keep things tidy when you have so many active members.

Edit:

I advise any and all members using firefox to download MeasureIt as you can then measure your signature.
