But cap.. you are way over on the file size.. your image is like 86kb atm, you have to be under 50kb. And also the image is a PNG image, not a jpg.Dont want to see you getting an infraction. Was just in a thread and wishstone is going to be startin to get on people on there sigs that are over the sig rules.
(Switched the fonts/colors on mine- still not quite happy with that spot in the pic where the T in Torpedoes ends up)
You might try giving your font a bit of a shadow or outline, that'd make it stand out nicely. This is just a button click in some programs.
If you're using something without that feature, all you have to do is type the same thing in black text and put it slightly under and off to the side from the main text. :cool:
Anyway, I'll give it 6/10 as is. With the text tweaked that'd go up a couple points. I know, I'm a tough rater.....
10/10 for the what could be a wonderful catolog photo in the great book of Al's discount starships......theres a joke and a compliment in their somewhere, but it sounded funnier in my head
I think it could be a little clearer.. and honestly, every time I see your sig, I imagine those are either very large officers, of very tiny ships that they're sitting on. It's a nice composition though, it just makes me giggle.
I'm also a little worried about the logo in your sig, it contains non-English words, and that's also forbidden by the signature rules. I personally couldn't care less.. but you know how Cryptic can be about their forum rules.

Signature/Avatar Rule Violation 1 Point
Signatures are limited to five lines of text, including blank lines, or an image that must be no larger than 500x150 pixels and 50Kb in size. Images must be in .jpg format. The text in the signature may be customized by the BBCode in use on the forums. It is recommended that you stick with readable fonts and colors and that the size is not too large. You may mention websites and ventures that you are in some way related to, as long as they are otherwise appropriate for the community. Avatars are limited to 100x100 pixels, or 19.6 KB (whichever is smaller). No Animated images will be allowed. Strong political and religious sentiments should be kept out of profiles, signatures, and other content in this community. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in an infraction, and the removal of the offending signature or avatar.
I don't see anything about "non-English" words in the rules. Considering that we have forums for non-English speakers on this very sight, I severly doubt Cryptic would make such a silly rule.
I think your text is a little difficult to read, and I think you could do a bit better with the transition between the two pictures (and you could frame your STO ship a bit nicer).. but I really like the intent of your sig. so you got some extra points for that.

Keep in mind, that Cryptic officially closed their non-english forums on the same day they enabled graphical sigs. English is now the only language permitted on the STO forums. I may not agree with the rule, but I'll obey it, because I don't want to earn any infractions.
A Question ... is german text allowed? I fear not, but i thought would be a great Idea to Help german players find a german community now that the german and french forums are closed.
No. Since we're taking the English only forums route now, we are not allowing any language other than English to be posted to the forums.
The reason for this is simple, we just don' have the bandwidth or personnel any longer to be able to moderate French and German languages. While Wishstone is still here, and still speaks German, she is only one person, which is not enough to moderate all German postings, and still be able to carry out her other duties as an OCR.
So, please, only English in your posts, sigs, and avatars.
As this is an English-speaking community, all postings must be in English, so that they can be well received and properly monitored. Posting in other languages is not allowed.

Going to resize mine so that the height is at 150, not 200...but at work now so it will have to wait.
Yes, Im not quite happy with the colouring on the letters, yes I think the size might be slightly wrong. It will be changed soon though
Huh :eek: Now that you mention it ...
