Here's the process:

I have "two shoes that don't match"...? I assume that is an English proverb. But I do not know what it means, Neal. :hmmm: I never used pics, only coloured text. I never got any pics working in signatures. I change colour when I changed the text, which I do often: whenever I remembered or stumbled over a new - or new old - quote that I like.

On the issue, there should be size limits. Since it is about scrolling a thread, it mostly matters regarding vertical dimension, and thus I think a sig, may it be graphic or text, should not be thicker than 3-4 lines of text. Many, if not all forums I monitor, have limits much tighter handled than over here.

In the poll, option 4 my choice.

Only the sigs that are waaaaaay over the size limit bother me.

I think you should be on the council. You seem to have all the answers.

FYI, number of signature infractions given by Takeda: Zero.

Thank you. I'll do my best:salute:

I find it annoying if a signature occupies much more space than the actual mesage in the post.

If a single post covers half of your screen and I have to look for the message hidden somewhere above a large signature
(which might even contain animations), I tend to get so distracted that I don't really process what I'm reading.

I'm frankly more irritated by people who post uncompressed PNG screenshots. :/\\!!

It's a part of Subsim that's part of it's personality. Besides, I might want to get a really really big one...er, ahem, I mean a large...no, skip it.:o

Ps: Keep the Sigs!
D40:O:

It's the animated Gif's that get to me the most, no matter how cleaver they are they soon become just annoying.

Got the card as well,It's on my calendar.

I'm mostly on bad connections a lot, so... this affects me pretty directly. Not more than threads with exuberantly large screenshots, but at least for most of those, you kind of expect it when you click on a screenshot thread. Having everything constantly load and jump in every thread is a little annoying though :hmmm:

Hi Neal.

keep these limits as they are. The real problem is THIS. Dont allow direct embedding of videos, neither "You Tube" nor "others". That wolud be the end of smooth sailing in the subsim-forums.

No it wouldn't. The video doesn't get loaded until the user presses the play button. :03:

but the embedded player would still cause browsers to lag

well, i not affect the big signature.... but i only entry in a sHIII workshop :)

Hi friends,
I vote for the first option, but in fact it's a paradox.
The sigs are so big and so invasive that I turned them off for a long time now.
I only look for one time to time when I seek for a special link.
So, do what you want with the sigs, I never see them...
