A signature size of 500x175 is preferred.

Please note that abuse of signature dimensions and sizes may result in having remote linking of images for signatures turned off.
The max allowed images in a signature is four, out of that you may have one "banner" type image. The rest can be smileys, xfire trackers, etc.
You may have up to 750 characters in your signature, or 1,000 including BB code.
You may NOT use the youtube tag in your signature.Any questions?

If the sigs are uploaded from a remote source, why should file size (kb, not pixels) matter?

Having huge file sized sigs kills page loading and the (limited) amount of dialup users we may get. We could likely increase it to 300k, maybe a bit higher, I don't know what the average signature runs.

Can we still use .gifs for avatars?

And why can't we upload it to our own servers? o_o

Gif files should work for both sigs and avatars, if they don't let me know.

Remote linking for avatars for some dumb reason was taken out of vb a while ago...they claim it's for security reasons, and I've yet to find a proper hack to allow me to put that option back in.

Let's just say for $160 I'm not impressed by some of the things vb should/can't/won't do...let's hope they release version 4.0 before our year runs out and it fixes some of these issues!

600x200 is huge.
Can't you scale it down? You know, to something that doesn't make me consider their tag as my wallpaper?

I mean I feel like mine's huge already
