Sig sizes

[chrisunoman]

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?

 

[black_cinq]

, I hope your talking about my sig ......

Welll, errr

 

[joecinq]

Welll, errr

In that case, i think yours is too big!

 

[black_cinq]

In that case, i think yours is too big!

i will think about getting rid of the quotes.

i only find your sig distracting, not slow at loading. i dont like animated sigs my eyes are attracted to them and i cant read the posts

Well I'm sorry guys/girls but someone took time out of their busy lives to do this for me so I'll be keeping it a while.

You can switch signatures, avatars and pictures out of the threads in your own user cp if you're having trouble with page loading speeds. Yep, I know that's not really the answer, but it's a start.

Chrisunoman, stop taking the mick Sig edited

Good on you, at the end of the day where do we draw the line on it?!

Using different connections pictures are bound to take different times to load. If you happen to have dial up, then it would be sensible for you to turn off signatures altogether. I know we are not all as fortunate to all have a BB connection, but I feel that it is a little selfish to make others that do, change their signatures.

Hmmm, how would someone (chris ) regulate it? I understand the pixel size of the sig's, but then how about the writing? Number of lines? Certain font, and font size?

I think theres second place for the largest sig...

JamesAbarth 480K and its huge (the sig that is before the smut starts...again).

Well I'm new at this thread business. I've just amended my sig and it's come out a lot bigger than I thought it would (no pun intended). I like it so poo bum

That's called a dry sense of humor Alex Is it possible to reduce picture size without degradation of quality - don't want to upset too many people.

I can't see how my signature affects your computer in anyway at all!

Well it's got to come through the connection to get to your computer at all. On dialup, your sig will take around 2.5 minutes to download. So one page, with 10 peoples sigs like yours would take 25 minutes to download.

get a faster connection.

1) Some people can't one for technical reasons.
2) Some people may not be able afford it.
3) Don't be so arrogant. Particaularly when there's a simple solution.

I also don't think that my sig is particularly big & loads fine on my computer.

Yes it is big. It is the biggest on FF. Just because it loads fine on your PC doesn't mean that others aren't adversely affected. Think of those less fortunate than yourself.

You lot could always try fiddling with your resolution that might make things load quicker!

No it won't. Ever.

Right - answered my own question - hope this is better

yeah, if you save it as a gif, you can use an adaptive colour pallet of 256 colours, or you can have a JPG, with a higher compression.

I wouldn't know what you mean by a dry sense of humor...

Wow - that is huge

File size is relatively smallish, but the rest of it is just OTT....
