You would need your length to be a LOT longer than 150 to make it look like a "banner", and that's just too large. They really can look decent smaller, if most of us can fit good graphics in 100x100 squares I believe it's possible to do it in a 600 pixel surface.
If your story is well written, and has a good summary people will read it regardless of your PSP or Photoshop skills. You'd probably lose readers (the ones on dial up or with small resolution) because they won't want to open your story page multiple times thus having to load and reload the pictures.

I had these the wrong way ... I meant 150 X 450 sorry
And I don't mean to say I'm mad that you set the limits I could always try 150 X300 ... and I'm sure I will, I just have some that are already 150 X450 and didn't want to have to trim 150 off ... that's really ...yeah I don't mean to be a pain.

The good thing about the discussion boards is that there's a built in feature that will allow people on slow-connections to go in and turn off viewing signatures.
(For those who want to know how to do that: Go to your <a href="http://absolutechaos.net/fictalk/index.php?action=profile">profile</a>. Click the link on the left-hand side for Look and Layout Preferences. There's an option to check that makes it so that you don't see others' signatures (also another one to block avatars...))

No worries. (Actually I'm not sure if it's been modified yet, but essentially we're still adjusting the rules to try and compromise...t he 150 X 450 should be okay. The rule of thumb is going to be that the sum of the 2 sides should equal 600 or less, so your banners should be okay.)
Purpura Lipstick:
Thank you!! I will change my HUGE ones (cause I realize I'm part of the problem) but I really have smaller ones and yeah... thanks! I'll make sure they aren't like huge .jpgs too... or yeah I know what I mean but I can't remember the wording
RokofAges75:
Yeah, the .png vs. .jpg thing really makes a difference! I saved mine as .png because sometimes the colors look sharper and clearer, but they were like 80 kb! So I saved them as jpgs instead, and now they're under 20 LOL. Much more practical.
