Mines about the size of a standard Ad banner, but some people have them as big as 620x302 pixels, might as well be 640x480 which is still a scree resoultion for some people.

Perhapps there should be a limit on the size of sig imgs, I'm getting tired of being at my g/fs house trying to read the board on her 56k connection and cuase the 4 people with the huge *** sigs signed 12 times it takes forever.

 

mines nice and tiny

but im gettin cable internet on thursday so woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah there's a limit on the image in for the avatar so there should be a limit on posted pics. One thing I hate when people post pics not in their sig, in the post; and to see some of the words in some posts I have to move the bottom toolbar over. Not everyone runs bigger than 800x600

 

Ever thought about e-mailing or PM'ing these people and asking them nicely if they would resize their sig? After adding all that stuff at the bottom under your pic, your sig turns out to be 804x218 pixels. Which takes up valuable space as well.

 

theres more than a few people so it would be kinda a hassle to go and look for all the people with big sig pics.also lots of people would be assh0les about the whole thing so its easier to just kinda make a nice post like this about it.

 

Here's an idea, when you run across a sig that is too long, either reply about it or PM the person politely.

I replied the other day to a member that posted his sig like 5 times in one post. I just simply asked politely to only do one per thread. And he was very nice and changed it. So all it takes is some courtesy.

 

Yeah big sigs r a pain in the.......
check mine out!
oh I don't have one

 

why dont you just turn the sigs off?????????

 

worst idea ever
hehe j/k

i wouldnt like that cuz then you couldnt brag about your car

i think a good thing to do would be to have a limit of posting your sig once in a thread tho.

 

Posting one sig per thread or twenty per thread makes no difference. Once your computer has the image saved, it will take the same amount of time to load one, or twenty.

 

but doesnt clearing your cache/temp internet files delete those...

 

Yes, but once I guess the sig is loaded in one page, the whole page of sig is loaded at the same time. Either way, I think I upped my cache to like 100MB to help with saving time.

 

i say everyone shold just get broadband

 

I would love to get broadband but the damn bastards wont lay cable to my house in the boondocks btw when I first post in a topic I always put my sig in the first reply, and the others I dont.

 

you can always get a standard broadband connection through stellite,its expensive but you get good badwidth

 

Yeah I know but thats too expensive for me 56k :rockon:

 

I'm not much of a computer expert, so could someone please enlighten me on the subject? Exactly how do you put a picture in the sig anyway?

 

my monitor is 640X480 and i dont mind the sigs.................

 

Want some cake ? ... Oh I suppose you want to eat it too huh ?

 

i too hate big sigs, for us with slow pcs, it takes longer to see a page!!

 

just wasting my last two posts to be a senior....

 

is my sig pic too big for you guys? i think it may be. not sure really though. i did ask the kind kind person hosting the picture on his website for me to maybe resize it for me, if he does i think i will be fine. btw, anyone else want to be a thirdgen rebel? i can make these things like no tomarrow, just give me a pic of your car you want in there

 

Yes it is quite large and the message, well some of it is kinda pointless.

Maybe something alittle more like this:
88 Formula WS6 w/66,000 miles!

As for the rest of that stuff you should put it on a personal website not in your sig. You want just enough info to attract people to your website.

Hey mike I love the new sig man:hail:

 

i don't have a website for my car quite yet. it's just a cool pic i made, and i'm not seeing the pointlessness of the message i'm sending, i think i will shorten it up a bit to save space. and until i reduce the picture i will remove it. thanks for the input, somehow through uploading confusion it turned out to be huge, sorry bout that

 

better?

 

SWEET DUDE! :rockon:

 

see? ask people nice, and stuff gets done:lala:
