Just set the width for the card image rather than the height.
Yea I tried and failed. I'd rather have someone do it
Tell me what cards you have and and I'll PM you the code for them.
I'll pm you

@Gmoney144, I fixed the code for your gold card for you.
Any other questions/concerns about card images in siggys we can chat about in the smorg thread.

I really didnt get alot of cards this year compared to others although still a decent amount, but cv-19 put lenders alot more conservative. Now that a vaccine is on the horizon, be interesting to see how lenders react next years as people start to live a normal life again.
Nothing much to add either 😁 pretty much 'ditto' to @CreditCuriosity's comments. Seems like we're on similar paths when it comes to gardening...or lack thereof.

Out of curiousity, do you consider yourself a card collector or do you do it to chase SUBs? Try to have the highest possible CLs or a combination of all? My strategy to this point is to get cards that maximize cash back rewards primarily, while trying to diversify with numerous lenders secondly.
I'm just curious of the motivation of the people with tons of cards.

Same here, @JNA1. But the answer is probably all over the map with a lot of different aims.
There are some on My Fico with such high spending, whether personal or business, that they actually may need those multitude of cards and high limits to support their normal and reasonable spending. That may not be so obvious to those of us with more modest means who just charge everyday household expenses and live on a smaller budget.
But moving on to those who do it for other reasons ...
For many of this latter group, I'm guessing it can even be a mixture of motives and some of it may just be for the gamesmanship of it all, as a hobby. I think there are points, though, where most everyone decides it's enough for now and it's time to take a break or reassess. I doubt few of us are striving to enter the Guiness Book of World Records.*
*Incidentally, the record for number of valid credit cards is currently held by Zheng Xiangchen (China) with 1,562 cards as of July 30, 2019. He put that collection together over six years after being inspired by the previous longtime recordholder, Walter Cavanagh of Santa Clara, California, who had 1,497 cards and a credit limit of about $1.7 Million. (Some limits were as low as $50.)

- Some keep tweaking their credit profile for better rewards.
- Some just want to experience different cards and lenders to "test drive" them.
- Some
chasestrategically pursue and optimize SUB opportunities.

@JNA1 - above are some key points that @Aim_High was nice enough to expand with some of my inputs. It is not all encompassing, but it is the gist of it. That said, it is definitely not a "card collector" pursuit nor striving to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
@FinStar That's one anticlimactic answer. Edit please (with juicy details).
And this is how I got the ban hammer🤕
