Trouble with images in Signature

Post by BeardyJon » Thu Oct 19, 2017 2:18 pm

I'm having problems updating my signature - I've resized a photo to be 150 pixels in height, which is the maximum size, and the forum won't allow me to update my signature with the photo saying its too big.

Can you help?

I'm trying to add this one to my already existing signature:

The sig also has a maximum width of 600px - you are probably exceeding that

The image is only 412 px wide, so that can't be it.

The entire signature including text shouldn’t exceed 150px high.

There is also limit on the size of the file in KB. I have optimized the 2 files for the web and either file should now work. Note the picture below will appear much larger than their actual size. Just do a copy or save as to your computer and they should work just fine. If they don't let me know.

You can only use one of them not both, if that’s what you’re trying to do.

neither work. Even when I edit only the text and use the current one it throws an error message.

Have you tried to "merge" those images into a new one with the two original ones side by side?

Happy to give it a go myself if you send me the images...maybe there is something that "stores" the old values and causes the error...

I don't think the error is related to the images. Even images which fit all requirements are throwing up an error telling me they're too big. Even using only one. If I just try to re-use the existing one in my sig, it fails. So I doubt that doing anything to the images is going help. Seems like its a software error with the forum.

Weird. Try a different browser that you haven't used before on this forum.
