Lately there has been a huge increase in the use of signatures - some with very large picture links.

Well - that costs me money

Reading a post with these big signatures causes an unnecessary transfer load almost every time you read such post.

If you pay your connection pr megabits/megabytes then its money out of your pocket.

Had one today with a 2+ MegaByte signature size !
Should I put him on my ignore list ?

So folks - keep the signatures within limits, please :approve:

More than even the large size, I wish they didn't take up so much screen real estate. Course, it's just my preference, but I just ignore them mostly, just like banner ads.

That might not be a bad idea. I think people are forgetting that not everybody has a broadband connection as yet - though it's getting to the point where folks on dialup really need to smell the coffee and upgrade. Still - a 2MB picture in a message board is overkill, I agree.

The mods have been unwilling to strictly enforce signature size rules so I turned off all signatures in my profile settings.

We don't want to get all "nazi" about things. Who has a 2MB signature? Can you PM me.

And as pointed out, you can turn them off.

It is a bit on the tall side... putting the pics next to each other would help

What Andy said.


But I've seen no complaints about it either.

If people have a problem with someone's sig, feel free to PM that user or a staff member.
