why did a mod change my sig into a link

[Lightning10]

a week or two ago, I updated my sig and put this image in:

i had seen bigger sigs around and figured this one would be ok. Then, around a week later, it got changed to a link and under the link it said "sig aimage too large". this is how my signature remains right now, but I have seen a few people with larger sig images and just wanted to know if possibly I could be allowed to put it back the way it originally was. if i can, thanks, if I can't, just please try to enforce it with everyone

The sig file limits for pictures are 400wide by 100 tall. A few pixels either way aint a problem (my old one used to be 412 high, for example.) but frankly yours IS too tall.

 

If you feel that other members have taller sigs, I'd be grateful if you pointed out such examples. I personally can't remeber any that don't get pruned fairly quickly.

 

Or try using this.

Yea, having a tall or long sig makes others harder to browse through a thread; they have to constantly scroll down the sig images. If it's just a few pixels over, it's not a problem, but that image above is more than twice the height limit.

 

If you see others with oversized sig images who haven't gotten caught, please report them to a mod.
