What do you think of something like this size? It uses the entire width of the page, but doesn't take up much space?
it's 11 inches by 3 inches in lumapix at 72 dpi. Or 792px by 216px.  |

Morgan, personally I don't like the really wide ones because my laptop has a smaller screen and it screws them up. but the one you posted is about the widest I could handle.

Should I try something a little narrower? Or is it right at the max width? I was trying to get the width that covered the whole screen but doesn't make anyone have to scroll over. | |

I'm asking because I host my siggy pic on photobucket. I try to make it wide, but not too tall so there is less scrolling involved.
My last was 720 x 288. Would something like that be OK? I could make it even shorter & a little longer too so it takes less scrolling.
I just ask because I think a rectangular siggy pic fits the screen a little better. I agree with a siggy pic size limit. I always try to keep mine compact. | it is both...
i have had complaints from people using laptops that some of the sigs are too wide and causes them to have to scroll to the side...
a 500 x 350 max keeps people from having to do either that much. it is a pretty generous siggy size when compared to other forums. | |

OK I made mine compliant.
I just have one more question. Should we not center the pictures? Does that make people have to scroll? | |

OK, maybe not. I edited the size in photobucket, but it still looks big? | |
