It's been pointed out they go beyond the forum rules. You have been given templates that work within the rules. You still insist on using the ones that break the forum rules. Subpar image editor, or not, it can't be that hard to take a template and make it work.

But, if for you, however, if the image size of a forum user's signature is such a cause for serious concern, then... Yikes! If you bothered to read any of the posts above, like the one where I mentioned to Snow Globe about my outdated imaging software  I'm not a photoshop guru. I don't spend my days sitting and reading forum regulations to such finite detail to know offhand or to know instantly what an appropriate forum signature size is. |

As for the "not a Photoshop guru" bit, all you have to do is say you'll replace your icons for appropriate-sized ones if provided, and I'll post 120-pixel tall versions of all of them for your use. But right now you are not giving any indication that you would accept such an offer.

Edit:
Due to bandwidth concerns, I've moved all my buttons, but have made the following single image for people to download and edit.
Additionally, Leandro was kind enough to find an alternate home that will allow people to have the images for their use without nuking my bandwidth.

I've gone around looking at forum signatures and most, in general, are 600x200. So because mine are 204x207 they are unacceptable?

"Most"? That is simply untrue. Nearly all forum signatures fit into the specified size. Let's look at the ones in this very thread:|

I could keep going, but I only found 1 out of 12 that was above the size, and it wasn't anywhere near 600x200.
You know what the rules are. Why are you acting like they shouldn't apply to you? Just use the buttons Snow_Globe made, which are 120x120. Your idea is good, but the size just isn't.
By the way, just because others might not be complying with the rules, out of ignorance of knowingly, that's no excuse for you to ignore them outright yourself. That's like getting a speeding ticket for going 65 in a 55 road, and your defense is "I've gone around looking at other cars and they were going 70, so why is my 65 unacceptable?"

You know what? I liked these buttons. I was going to use one as my avatar.
Then I kept reading the thread and saw how VoodooGirl acted.

And FYI...
I'm pretty sure most sigs aren't that big.

I'm from Argentina. Do you want to know what traffic in Argentina is like? This is a quote from Wikitravel guide which is spot on: "the traffic in Buenos Aires is extremely chaotic. Stoplights, signs, traffic laws... for many porteño drivers, are just suggestions. Picture yourself trying to get several thousand heads of cattle to move down the street and stay inside the lanes, and you have a decent idea of driving in Buenos Aires. The best advice? Take the bus! Otherwise, best of luck to you. Argentina has one of the highest motor vehicle accident mortality rates in the world."|

Still, putting my seatbelt on is automatic for me, and I taught my nephews the same. I always drive within speed limits and respect all traffic lights. Just because everybody else drives like a lunatic (my own mother never puts on a seatbelt and doesn't even have a valid license), it doesn't mean I should follow their example.

I know, we've had this discussion before ;-) Argentina is crowded, but the average NJ speed is 85mph on the 55mpg highways.

People, please, Leo wins at everything. 
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
This kind of childish disregard for policy and general forum courtesy isn't something I expect to see on the CoH boards.

I do not mind the content, of some of the buttons at least. But the ones in your sig are just too big, VG.

Be well, people of CoH.
Hello Everyone!
I'm glad you all are having fun with these buttons. I would like to take this opportunity, however, to remind you that there are size limitations for signature images. Signature images should be limited to 600x120 pixels (150KB Maximum Filesize).
If you are unsure whether your signature is too large for the forums, please feel free to contact myself, or any of the other moderators on the City of Heroes forums.
We share your excitement for City of Heroes Freedom, and thank you all for your contributions to the community.
Sincerely,
Moderator 13

We gave you Snooki!

Oh, and people confuse the New "Joisey" accent with Long Island, IMHO.
Here is one I threw together.
This is the standard avatar size for these forums.
I don't know why, but this seriously reminds me of the Pepsi bottle cap...lol
