Full Version: Signature request

I've been receiving some complaints about some signatures being absolutely massive.

Massive pictures slow down loading of the pages, which is especially a nightmare for people on slow connections.

Yes, you can set your board setting to block signatures, but I feel this is going a tad far, if people have massive signatures that could easily be altered.

Now, I'm not going around editing or deleting people's signatures, but I'm posting the signature rule here, as can be found in the board rules. I would like to ask those whose signatures are larger than 'allowed', to please consider adjusting them.

QUOTE
Signatures may contain images, but may not be any larger than 300x100. If your signature is larger than the allotted size given or deemed unacceptable you will be requested by a moderator to resize or change your image. Please also try and keep text signatures under 5 lines. Failing to comply with a moderator's request to fix your signature will result in the removal of your signature.


Thank you smile.gif

Thanks. I definitely think its become a problem again! I really like seeing peoples signatures but when I have to scroll down half a page (literally) its a bit mad and it does effect readability, massively.

I just had a play around in paint (where the 'image' + 'attributes' button tells you how big your image is) and as a guide, 300x100 is this size:

(I'm no graphic designer, so it's plain and boring, but you get the idea)

Also if you go to My Controls and then Edit Sig, you can click on "Check Length" to make sure it's not too long

Well I think it is a normal plain banner with some text that could go. Millan's, Fb's and Jazzo's are (i.e. the three posts above this one) good examples of how to keep it nice wink.gif

Thanks for the request. I keep thinking there are many new posts to a thread and there are only two. And trust me I had to work on a slower computer this week, no fun ph34r.gif

And if it really bothers you, you can switch the signatures off.



Go to "my controls" "options" "board display settings" (first question, answer no)... Saves ya a lot of time and I find it makes the forumpages less hectic and screamy...



If ya really want to see Jamie pics, you can allways visit the thread Pictures of Jamie..
