I've had a few messages lately that some sig sizes are way to big.

Should we have a firm policy on sig sizes like many forums do?

Comments, suggestions, opinions anyone?

Either / Both.
Im after comments and suggestions at this stage.

Yours is a good example of a large text based sig.
It takes up over 1/2 a screen.

Is that too much?

Does my sig look too big in this??

Maybe put a limit on the font size used...img's dont bother me so much....

i dont think pictures are to bad. as long as they arent stupidly massive.

Long text ones are a killer though.

perhaps you can limit the number of characters that can be typed into a sig?

nonononono forget about font size etc thats not the way to go about it.

Your best bet is to set a size in pixel, example. 400 pixels wide by 100 pixels high.
And then set a limit on physical file size example 50kb

I think this would be the best way to go. And the user can implement what ever they like within those specs, they can be animated gif's and or flash "swf" files.

Just my 2 cents.

perhaps you can limit the number of characters that can be typed into a sig?

I know a 'certain' paintball forum limits sigs to 500 characters in total and you cant have any pics, banners or IMG's. Most stuff in their sigs are links to sponsors or crap for sale/trade. Dunno if we need to go that far but certainly some size limit would be good.

My sig pisses me off for that same reason but also makes it easy for me to find my posts and see what crap people have written after it.....

limit the font and image size, cos to be honest some of the sigs are bigger and more interesting than the content in posts

Damon Pond
03-10-2007, 07:48 PM
We're limited by image size already. Aren't we?

Wow, I can now remember the very reason I turned off the option to view signatures over a year ago, having just turned it back on to see what all the fuss was about. Think I'm gonna go turn that sucker off again. Some peoples sigs are just plain stupid and a waste of bandwidth and screen space.

i believe that signatures should be allowed to include entertaining limericks regarding Hideous's various inadequacies.

this is our right not a priveledge.

if Hideous doesnt enjoy them he should write a letter to the attorney general.

Yes we should reduce the Signatures to the size of your mental capacity.:yawn:

In your case Yzo, anything about 2 pixels would be adequate:kiss:

Start with cutting down Jamie's signature, make the same rules for all. > an X mod is worse than a freaken x wife.. full of hot gas and dribbly crap. that just wont go away.:fu:

easy way to sort this crap out Hideous, is to not come here & by doing so you will raise the IQ level of bills.

& if you think that there are rule for one & rules for mods then you are an even bigger phuking idiot then what the majority of people think you are!

See Knackers - Yzo is at least funny.

I don't understand your venom, I am sure for whatever reason we will need to address this next year when I can devote more effort to what your issue is.

You dont understand my venom?? Lets start with this.. how about this guy :fu: in every one of your posts addressing the Mods here

....you always make out like there is a conspiracy against you or your minority group!
I was a Mod for around 6 years here & I have had enough of a$$holes like you who do nothing but make that job hard...& do everything to stir the pot

Thats just a couple of things you do that pisses me off! & dont bother addressing shit Hideous I dont feel like I have to resolve anything next year with you & in reallity I dont want to.

I was going to start a thread until I saw this one.

Some of the sig are a little silly in size, and take up more space then the posts they are on.

I'd suggest something like this:

Non supporting members - 3 lines of text (including empty lines)
Supporting members - 3 lines of text (including empty lines) + images (i'd suggest banner sized 468x60px or similar)
