As a relative newcomer here, I have a question regarding signature graphics. Are there any size limitations (in pixels or kb's) like there are for avys?

TIA....

Currently we don't have one, although the need has been discussed and at some point we should address it. I think that something along the lines of mania's guidelines (bigger than mane's).

Mania's guidelines are:

Effective immediately, signatures can be no larger than 750 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall and 100K in total file size.

That still allows a large sig, but not one that overpowers a thread. The 100k could be bumped up, with most people on broadban these days, but on the other hand anyone that has browsed the site with sigs off and then turned sigs on, knows how much slower the browsing is with large sig images. It simply takes a while to download and display those images (not a server load issue, since images are loaded directly from wherever they are hosted to your browser).

Cool... thanks. My next graphics project is a sig for Cheese and I just wanted to be sure the size would be OK. :D
