alexnessie Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Now, I've not been here long, but I've noticed some people have overly large signatures and I'm wondering why its ok to have HUGE text signatures bigger than the post, but not small signature images? I think a heavily moderated signature image system should be allowed with max size dimensions, no animaton allowed, and a relatively "calm" signature, not overly in your face. Sorry for wasting everybodies time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Nah, pics in sigs suck, it's been discussed loads of times. People with 100 MSN quotes in their sig are just tools really, if anything these should be made smaller. There is a character limit for signatures, but it doesn't really work. For example my signature is only just small enough to fit. Another couple of characters and it's "too long". Which is stupid compared to people who have like 12 lines of "funny" crap in their signatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexnessie Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) well, this is my sig on another forum - As you can see, it's relatively small, and actually goes with t-f colours, I think if people had sigs like this, it would be less unobtrusive than all the text some people have. edit : Damn my spelling to hell.

alexnessie Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well whats the point in any signature? It's just a bit of space you get to express yourself after a post, I personally like to put a small, unobtrusive image in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexnessie Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) Well, I'm not complaining, because it's a forum thats provided to us for free, so if the admins don't want me to have a sig, I won't. I just wanted to know why I couldn't have one. No biggie really. For the poor 56k fags. True... (but nobody really cares about them :P" ) Edited August 25, 2005 by alexnessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Didnt think you could still get 56k :P , in some cases BB is cheaper then 56k ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Just that picture would really annoy me if I had to see it in between every post. I mean it looks OK and all, but it's not very interesting. In fact I've only seen it twice (Thanks to whoever quoted it :P ) and it's already boring. If there were pics in sigs, I would turn sigs off, simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously people would try upload 'em into the gallery and link them from there, making the bandwidth go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 image sigs are so shit its unbelievable. please lets all agree to NEVER bring it up ever again. use your avatar for an image. whilst i'm here, i noticed that the Signature length says 400 characters but its actually something like 396. Annoying or what! *TUT* :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 It's been posted four times now and I'm f**king sick of it :P Just think how annoying it would be after every one of his posts (And other people when they decide it's cool too). Although I have a solution: Adblock :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 If you want annoying pics in sigs go to www.bristol-cruise.com and look at the Forum. REALLY annoying! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 People with 100 MSN quotes in their sig are just tools really ← Yeah and the MSN users always have ridiculously long or emo names. Signatures are crap anyway, we don't need to know what computer you've got (and probably only use to browse the web with) or who's online bike shop you bum (despite never having bought anything from there). Put it in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfboy Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 It get's annoying seeing the same old picture over and over again through a thread. A bit of text goes un-noticed. ← Agreed. Banning image sigs was a great move. An avatar and small text sig ensures personalization of posts without having to filter every line when reading.

mat hudson Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Agreed. Banning image sigs was a great move.
