Signatures.

[HPZ]

I'm noticing more and more lately that people seem to think they need to have these massive signatures, and its extremely annoying. Can something be done about this? They're an eyesore.

[ARROW]

Yes, turn them off in your control panel.

 

I've done this and killed the avatars too, made surfing the forums much more pleasant as I actually get to read what people have to say.

[racer223]

yea it also makes the pages load quicker

 

[Viper Hunter]

Words? You mean people actually type messages?

 

 

 

 

I just come here to look at the pictures!

[Guest Mike]

I've asked a few people here and there to shrink them down, as some are almost 1200 pixels high, with pictures and text... way too big.

 

there are no specific rules for sigs, but if it takes up most of the screen, then its too big

[Metatron1050]

well.. there should be limits. i mean, signatures are cool to have and all, but maybe a limit? not massive scans of a page in a comic or what-not please.

[Skips]

Some of them are too big I agree!

[The Avenger]

Yes, turn them off in your control panel.

I think a lot of the fun comes from looking at different people's avatar's and signatures, plus it allows easy identification when reading who said what.

 

I agree about the long sigantures though. That don't fit right, and take up alot of vertical space.

[Snow_Serpent]

I don't mind sigs and avatars, but there needs to be some type of limit. Some are just way too big.

[Viper Hunter]

Anything so huge it stretches the page on me, is a nuisance, and that seems to be the consensus amongst us all.

 

I like the avatars and sigs and whatever creativeness that goes into them...it's fun.

[Nuff Said]

Yeah, I try not to have a huge signature before I felt it was too big so I had to change it, some people have got some great ones and all but some people just have waaaaaay to big I have one in mind but I won't say anything about it.

 

Nuff Said

[Guest Mike]

Alright, im putting a sig limit into effect, please keep your sigs under 500 pixels high, and make sure they don't stretch the screen. If you can't figure out how big your sig is, right click the image and go to properties. the 500 pixel high limit includes text as well as images.

 

I don't care if its over by a bit, but if I can't see your post, and the next post below yours at the same time without scrolling down using a resolution of 1024x768, then your sig is too big. Remember different members use different screen resolutions on their computers, plus some members have dial up. While you may be using a setting of 1024x768 resolution or higher on your monitor and can easily view large signatures, other members are using 800x600 and even 640x480. For those guys, a large sig 800 pixels high, is gonna be a screen to 2 screens high. Very annoying.

[UglyHomer]

Is this ok?

 

this says 291x216

[Guest Mike]

yep, its fine just as long as it doesn't take up the whole screen like some guys on here

[UglyHomer]

I must confess, before I realized , mine was pretty long too

[Guest Mike]

sorry guys, JayC said he doesn't care about the large sigs, just as long as they don't stretch the screens, so I guess you're #$## out of luck

[UglyHomer]

it stretches the screen ?

[JoeRhyno]

what about mine???? Mine always changes... so no worries.. my longer one will be back shortly

j/k

and if it bothers you enought to make a post about it... take ARROWS suggestion and turn them off in your controls

 

 

 

[revSears]

the half naked folks in the sigs is what bothers me, -the prude i am.

The issue with these is that they can be pretty close to NSFW and pics on a toy board dhould never be NSFW.

[Viper Hunter]

What's NSFW?

[Brian Langlois]

I'll guess it's Not Safe For Work. I agree that there shouldn't be anything that racy on the boards.
