Signature banners are in danger of being deleted!

[Darklord Dave]

Signature banners are getting out of hand again - Here are the rules for signatures from the FAQ.

Please limit your signature to 3 lines of text or a SINGLE image no larger than 150 pixels high x 500 pixels long.

And I would add that .gif images are discouraged - some poor souls are still on dial up. There's nothing more frustrating than waiting for a post that takes 2 mins. to load and only says "F*** yea!"

Mine is 500 x 125. Is it ok if I have text in it too?


EDIT: Gifs in avatar ok???

 

[Shai]

Mine is now as minimal as I can.

Then those poor bastards need to upgrade to 21st century technology!

And here we have the reason for this thread.

Couldn't agree more. Sometimes its hard to find the response text in all the silly advertising.

well...i'm off to the civil war sig thread to look for a new sig

Your's is fine King - but DDs? Not so much. Gifs are okay both places, but keep the file size, way, way down.

Cool, thanks Dave.

Yeah and I just knew when I woke up this morning that the other DD was gonna jump all over the Kurgans for their ass-kicking new banners. Always the party poopers. Well if file size is the problem, I'll just dither them down when I get home. Problem solved but the banner stays.

So what your saying is mine is too large? Poor Boromir, he doesn't get any respect.

One more point, if you are on dial-up, I would strongly suggest you disable sigs in your control panel. I know I always did when I was still on dial-up.

That's a very good point Fritz. If you don't want to get spammed with banners then turn it off in the control panel. Problem solved.

One sig for me now.

 

[Buttmunch]

Is mine OK?

 

[occulum]

so is 108k A-OK?

 

[Boba Fett]

Seems the Civil War sigs are okay in size and display.

I say get rid of them!

And I say turn it off in the control panel if you don't want them!

It is true that those with dial up (or those who just don't want to be hit with all of the flashing/provocative/oversized signatures) can very easily disable them. Some of the users may not be familiar with all of the options in the User CP.

And I say get rid of 'em

Some people put useful info or links in their sigs (like me), which can't be seen if "view sigs" is disabled. All these blinky, ginormous sigs are annoying, to say the least.
