digl Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Iv noticed there are some pretty large sigs, they are not a problem because of big images loading, but because the sigs are sometimes about three times the size of the post some ones have too much text, or large images, or both Its not because I dont have a sig , I think the threads just look weird and they difficult the reading Iv also noticed mods telling people to reduce signs, thats why I post Maybe there could be a limit in the image size/number of lines the sig uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xwing guy Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I don't really care because I have a large sig and I think I'm gonna take a few quotes out of it here soon anyways, but I like all my quotes and I don't want to take any out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I suggest you take about 1/2 of them out, get it at least twice as small......... or someone might have to do it FOR you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 There should be limits, especially with pictures. It annoys me a lot when a signature takes up more space than your actual post. Especially picture sigs, as they are hell for 56k users. Which is why I have no sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I don't mind sigs. Of course, I am on cable... :/ Who has the biggest sig on the forums, anways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I'm also against large graphics in signatures. It's extremely obnoxious when the signature is 3 (or more) times the size of the actual written post. One or two words....then one or two large pictures that say nothing. It gets worse when the same person posts to the same thread....the same stupid picture over and over and...aaaargh! Look at escapemi.com for some choice examples. As for quotes, one sentence or two is just under the annoyance level. After that...you find your self scrolling and scrolling just to find some worthy content to read. One nice thing about the new features of vB is the option to turn them off. The page loads much faster if you do. Hey, look ma ...no siggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardz Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Im surprised my name hasn't been mentioned yet. If you have a big sig, then its got to go. I am not fond of them, but I hope when a new person sees my post. They will take on board what I am trying to say in my sig. It saves me ranting later.. : ) wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRAVE Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 There should be some limits....but its now loading time that concerns me, even on my 56K it loads fine, of course on my T3 you dont even notice it load...........the scrolling is the problem when people have large sigs......it just makes it really difficult and annoying.

Agen Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 There shoudl be limits though but i really don't mind. There should be limits, especially with pictures. It annoys me a lot when a signature takes up more space than your actual post. Especially picture sigs, as they are hell for 56k users. er.... can i jsut say this...... em...

StormHammer Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 I vote to keep sig sizes within limits. The reason is that not everyone has their monitor res set to 1024 and above...and some sig images can take up the whole screen at lower res. I don't think loading time is much of a problem, because most people compress their file size to an acceptable level. If you're not sure what is a good sig size, reduce your monitor res to 800x600 and see how much screen real estate it takes up. It shouldn't really be more than a quarter. Mind you, with the Avatars, I don't really see the need for a sig image as well. Mabe the size of the Avatar could be increased to compensate...maybe 100x100. A couple of lines of text isn't too much of a problem, as long as it's not whole paragraphs from a book or something. Just IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
