Okay sorry guys I really didn't think this would be such a huge problem for everyone, it's just a banner. Lot's of stories don't even have them.

I think the height 300 is more than fine. It shouldn't go above that no matter what.

I don't think there is a problem with the length being extended like you asked Purpura. I would say the banner in your signature would be fine, but i'll talk to Chaos and Jullily just so we are all in agreement. It's really the height that tends to slow things down and takes forever to get through the pages on AC.

and that's also a good idea Rose about adding up to 600 as a max. We're all just trying to figure out what the best thing possible for everybody would be. We'll keep you updated.

Of course we'll give you time lol We're not just going to go on a deleting rampage or anything. The thing is we have been asking this for a really long time now. I posted a request about this at the end of October in the news section of AC and Chaos has mentioned it way before that as well. We just felt like if we posted it on this board more people would actually take it seriously.

We just wanted everyone to be aware that it's a problem.

I'm going to try to resize mine, at least the height and maybe make it longer. I think the maximum of 600 is a good idea too. That way we don't have banners that do take up the whole page. I have normal screen resolution and some banners are just too big. The look about half my screen. Even on the computer where I made mine (which has a low resolution), mine were still smaller than those. I think the biggest mine is, is 481 by 321 that because the image I was using as my background wouldn't go any smaller in height without drastically reducing the width as well.

Just so you guys know we have modified the banners rule slightly so you may want to go back and read above or on the news section of the actual AC site.

Thanks a lot guys!

Yeah, I think there's no way it should be longer than 300 pixels... and if you've got a banner that's 300 and some, you'll only have to resize it a little - it shouldn't mess it up too much.  Maybe the max length could be more like 500... then the largest a banner could be is a nice 500 x 300 rectangle, and it wouldn't take up too much of the screen - wouldn't cause scrolling in either direction, even for people with a small screen resolution.
