I have a certain image I'd like to use for my signature, and this seems to be the only forums that doesn't allow it because the limitation is a 128px height limit, and the image I'd like to use has a 130px height (2px difference :/)

A simple solution would be for me to just resize it and leave it at that, however, this image happens to be dynamic, so resizing it would just leave a permanent image, which would defeat the purpose of this particular image :p And there doesn't appear to be bbcode enabled on this forums to just resize the image either.

Specifically, here is the image I'd like to use:



To be more specific as to what it is, it's a player badge for a program called Evolve, which in short, tracks what games you play and for how long (similar to a Xfire Miniprofile, or a Raptr Forum Signature).

You could just live with two pixels being cut off?

This, just cut the picture down 2 pixels from the top.

Resizing it would make the image non-dynamic and thus, make it useless in reporting game info. And I can't set the image either way in the signature part of the user CP because it won't let me :p

I guess I'll try and see if the dynamic image itself can be scaled a tiny bit smaller on the height then on Evolve's end.

Edit: Out of curiosity though, is there any particular reason why the limit is exactly 128px though?

Hmm, so that's the only reason for the 128px limit? Kinda interesting, never heard of that on any other forum but it is a nice size I suppose :p

I requested the resize on Evolve's forums and it didn't seem to be a problem at all though. Out of more curiosity though, is there any other forum that limits height to 128px?
