I think we should have a maximum sig size, say a maximum height and width, like they do on some forums.

I dont mean to be a kill joy or anything, but peoples sigs are getting sooooo massive that its getting hard to read some threads and soon we are going to be getting one reply per page!

What do you reckon Ben?
 
I think max height of 300 pixels, max width of 600 pixels (inclusive of text) and max size of 100kb. I would love to see people expressing themselves but right now I can't, cept myself!

Your Sig may be small in KB size but it actually stretches the threads on my PC and i have to use the bottom scrollbar to read some posts. :confused:

Ideally the sigs should be no wider than 550 pixels.


It's all got to do with what resolution you have set, i use 1024X768 on my computer and it never distorts (the forum doesn't even fill the screen;) ) you should use at least 800X600 to get satisfactory results.
 
No I put that in yesterday. I've just come back online to find a mod has adjusted my sig without my consent thus proving what I had been saying in it before hand!

I use 1024x768 mostly but when browsing the net, my pc switches to 800x600, because it's running on a Plasma screen and I can't see the small writing in 1024 as I sit about 10 feet away from the screen. :)

Are everyones sigs not at a reasonable size now then?
Is there any chance you could remove maybe two of the quotes from your sig and maybe just leave yourself with one???

Its just i think your sig as a whole is rather long.

Personally i dont like quotes in sigs fullstop. It confuses me as to where a sig stops and peoples posts actually begin. But ive noticed its a trend thats becoming worse everyday... :rolleyes:

Just sig sizes for me isnt just the file size, its the length too.
 
Does anyone else use 800*600 resolution still? I thought we had moved on from that res ages ago...

And as for confusing quotes in signatures, that sounds like a personal gripe and not one that is a problem with sigs in general. Maybe I am wrong :)
 
i am old skool i use 800x600 :D

i have no problem with the width of sigs, maybe cause i got 19" monitor :eek:

people seem to be getting there knickers in a twist for no reason, rules would not be considered if it wasnt best for everyone
 
I dont know what res i use :eek:

But i did remove two of the quotes and then put them back in - but i will think about removing them again if they're a problem to people.
 
Erm im not really sure - i suppose its the gap between them thats the problem more than the font?

Sod it im not up for an argument over a couple of quotes!
 
i feel so bare :cry: I miss them already - i'll just have to put a couple of pics of the bug under the cinq instead ;)
