just looking to see how this size works

Sniper · 22-12-2004, 01:00 AM

looks good!

Nic · 22-12-2004, 10:27 AM

Nice and small and compact.

do50 · 23-12-2004, 01:25 AM

Thanks!
Is it OK to paste code (like signatures) into a message... so it stays put rather than reverting to the current signature? Re-read the rules last night and not quite sure.

vB code (the tags available with most bulletin board software) yeah...at least if you want it be effective. HTML code is turned off on these boards, so by putting something otherwise will just show up as code, not the effect you're looking for.

Yep you can get an image host like www.photobucket.com or similar and use

Code:

This took a while to upload... not sure if it's the size or just that the phone lines are all too busy ..........Opps! this is MUCH bigger than expected.

Looks fine, but for an image of this size, you should really take out the [IMG] Tags, and just leave a link.

Big B · 26-12-2004, 01:47 PM

Nice, but don't put it in your sig...waaay too big.

Addis · 26-12-2004, 03:29 PM

Yep it may just distract some people a bit.

nice

do50 · 28-12-2004, 01:15 AM

still trying to find the best size

Waffle · 28-12-2004, 01:09 PM

I usually use 500 x 150 or so, but Opeio informed me smaller is better

so now I'm using sorta 350X125 or so.

So long as it a) wasn't as big as that last one ie almost A4 size

, and b) under 100kn in size, there's no problem

do50 · 28-12-2004, 03:04 PM

Thanks and not to worry... I won't do anything that big again!

I'm trying to find a good trade off between image size - readability - edge quality. It doesn't look like you and Opeio have a problem with that - you both seem to have very good resolution. Am I maybe missing something in settings?

I'm starting and working at 500x150...sometimes cropping down from there, but edges seem blurred. Maybe I should be making larger marbles to begin with?
