Way too large, cut the whole thing down to say, 1/4 of the size.

Can't you see it yourself? It's still pretty gargantunormous.

Generally, a good rule of thumb is that your sig should be less than your average post length. Graphics are discouraged, though allowed if they're tasteful and not very large.

Signatures are for a small quip or quote or contact information/webpage. Things much larger than that should really go on your personal webpage, and just link to it from your signature.

I was in the middle of typing something very similar

Buddboy i suggest reducing your sig quite a lot

Or at least format it so that all that content is organized horizontally. It's the longest sig ever. :-p

I was refrencing both the image size of the 'pi pie' and also the sig itself.

Buddboy, there is a a major problem with your sig!!!

Look:

quote:

char name['B','u','d','d','B','o''y']

That should be:
char name[8] = "Buddboy";

or(I hate C)
sequence name
name = "Buddboy"

well your way is correct if he's assigning a value on initialization. I think he was trying for assigning the values to an existing array... (even though according to his little snippet, there isn't one... :-p) Either way he didn't quite get it right....but why must you pick on it? haha

um, it includes spazz.h. duh, it takes the char name from it, so that it knows *who* the spazz is. get it? plus its just psuedo-code, i just used C++ cuz it was easier. plus you can't assign a string to a char just nonchalantly, have to put commas between each of the letters and individually quotate them.

#include <spazz.h>
int name()
{
char name['B','u','d','d','B','o''y']
}

Well as a response to your "duh", theres no way for us to know for certain what is in your hypothetical spazz.h. I realize it's a joke, and we should all get it. But frankly it isn't that funny and it just makes your sig that much longer.

Not picking on him, just a joke.

Much improved, Buddboy.

A succinct sig is a good sig.

Not really:

char name* = "Buddboy"
char name[] = "Buddboy"
char name[8] = "Buddboy"

all work.

Scroll down a bit and you'll see something similar to char name[8] = "Buddboy"

http://www.cs.nyu.edu/courses/fall04/V22.0201-003/c_tutorial/classes/String.html
Scroll down to Program 5: Copying Strings and you'll see something similar to char name* = "Buddboy"

static char strings are best to use though (not pointer strings).
char[8] = "buddboy";

Well lets say, for the sake of argument, the code in spazz.h is as questionable as his sig code. Then where would he be. :-p

mwah...haha...hahaha....mwahahahaha.
No really though. How frightening. But back..."on topic".
His sig has shrunken to about 1/3 the original size. Its still about twice as big as the largest anyone else has. But meh, signs of improvement.
