I actually did not know you could turn off other people's signatures. I thought that option only affected my signature.

Just disabled the signatures and problem solved.

Giving the people a choice. :yeah:

If *everyone* drops litter, the world will be submerged in litter.

Therefore people in general cannot be allowed to drop litter.
Since I am part of 'people', I cannot be allowed to drop litter.

The same principle surely applies to large signatures:
If everyone is allowed to do it, SubSim will grind to a halt.
Since therefore everyone cannot be allowed to post large signatures, no one person can be allowed to do so either.

That is logical. I think. I have voted accordingly.

No one raindrop feels responsible for the flood.

Hilarious, and it doesn't affect me, but at 1MB, it probably slows things down for a lot of people. Especially if 10 other people in the thread have similar gifs: 10MB+ on each page view :wah:

I didn't realize the right click-properties showed all that info on the photo/gif:oops:. I just wish they picked a different unit of measurement than bytes:/\\!!. It's the 21st century, everything is in MB (or GB):doh:

Rule of thumb in my opinion is that if a sig is longer than an averagely small post, it is too long. And if the sig is wider than the resolution of smaller monitors (yes, some still use 800x600 resolutions), then it is too wide. So I think the 220x640 limit for sigs is very reasonable and should be kept that way. Same for the size, especially regarding .gifs, since 10 of them at the same page could easily grind weaker PCs to a halt.

Thanks for thinking of me!
