Unreal Software Banner too big Banner too big

what a pointless question
would it say [img too big] if it would NOT be too big? of course it would not!
hence it IS too big. the size is limited to a width of 505 pixels. larger images would ruin the forum layout at the suggested minimum screen resolution of 1024x768. but why that does it say my banner is too big then? Because DC has included a few super cool lines of code which provide it
Someone put in a much too large image and DC wanted to prevent that. DC Admin Offline
is it really that difficult to understand it?
your banner is 512 pixels wide
as said before the maximum broadness is 505 pixels.
comparing 512 with 505 we come to the conclusion that 512 is a higher value than 505.
Lets have a calculation:
512-505=7
That means that your banner is 7 pixels too wide since the maximum is 505!
what you could do:
resizing your image to a wide of 505 pixels or smaller
or cutting off at least 7 pixels from the left and/or the right side
I hope I was able to help a bit...
Edit:
As dicker said: this is a recently added protection which helps to prevent the inclusion of images which are too large for the forum (because they destroy the layout of the forum tables on screen resolution 1024x768) ok, thanks for the help This has happened me more then once, and DC really helped alot.
I have now my pictures, avatars, banners in perfect size. that was becouse of Bram (a spamer) wich is now banned and he had a signature bigger than a page with scrow bar and Dc telled him to removed it but he didnt so he get banned.And thats why it seys img too large now. -.- DC Admin Offline
its not the fault of one person but the fault of many. every second day someone thinks it would be cool to have an ultra large signature image. in fact this is not cool - its just extremely annoying.
I was very sick of preventing this large image shit and so I integrated an automatic protection against large images in this forum which works very well so far. I don't like the stretching of the avatars like 64x64.
I would like it 50x50 since almost all my avatar's are 50x50.
Is there a way to make a resize without stretching the avatar?
My current one look very stretched, I would like if there was a alternative pixel stretch too.
Is that possible? Do you have Gimp or something similiar?
resize your avatar to 64x64 with linear or cubic resampling, that looks better than the strechting that php allows... Now I have a problem... The image I added to MY signature is specifically sized at 505 x 64 pixels, which is with the limit, yet I get the error that the image is too large... make them be like 400x100 like mine and it works!

sorry. I either did a mistake or I just changed it.
the maximum size is now 500 and not 505 Alright, I have gotten the image to work. Thanks.
