I thought it was just about the right size. About how big does it need to be?

We don't have exact number of pixels, but Angel gave some guidelines here. http://residentevilnews.com/community/threads/signatures.3380/
As it is now it is too high.
Your image does not have much details, so I think it will look nice at any size.

If you need a suggestion: It would be nice if you got the signature height down to the 225-250 pixel range.

For width or for length?

Height.

Width is less important, but ideally it should not be wider than the available space. The website will scale down anything that is too wide, but it takes processing power on the server that might slow it down if too many computers are downloading pages with downscaled images.

It won't do much difference if only one member have a wide image that has to be downscaled, but it would likely make a difference if many enough members did.

Alright, but it's going to make it extremely tiny.

225-250 pixels high is extremely tiny?

When changing the height, yes. It makes it to 250 x 157. It's to the point where I can't even see my name.

But that is far smaller than I ask for. That is only 157 high, and I say that it is acceptable up to 250. All the numbers I have mentioned is for height.

Woops. I thought I did put it in for height, looks like I accidently put it in width. I think I may have a short term memory.

I'm going to have to change it at another time. I do have it resized, but my computer for some reason is making it really blurry. I'll try to change it tomorrow.

I didn't check what file format you used, but if it is JPG or another format that is not lossless, it will lose quality every time you save a change to the file. The PNG format is compressing the file in a lossless way.

Well I changed my signature to just text until I get the picture I wanted to work on here. I just need to know one thing.

Is there too much text on my signature because I read that we couldn't have a lot of text for signatures?

It is extremely much text for a sig, but the sig is not too big since you don't have any images. But I would advice using a font size smaller, because it should not compete with your posts for attention. This is not a rule, just a good advice. Alternatively, you could use gray font.

When I commented on the font size, I based it on how your sig looks here on your profile. But when I look in forum threads, the font is smaller. My bad.

That's okay.
