More sig limitations
« on: February 22, 2004, 07:45:09 am »
I have been doing some experimenting...not to irritate anyone of course...just for my own good. You can make your signature as big as you want adding loads of spaces in there but you can only have images to add up to 400x120. So I'm thinking....ok what is the point of that? I can just be annoying and put a huge space between all my letters and make my profile be wicked long...well, if you can make it as big as you want there why can't you have 2 images in your profile? I'm not saying make a new rule for the letter and space thing just a bigger sig would make some people so very happy.


ok don't yell at me...I take negitivity better in PM.

Thanks.

I think if sigs were allowed to be much bigger, it'd get extremely annoying.  Posts would all take up way too much spaces, and you'd havta scroll a ton to read through all the posts... idk.  Maybe thats just my opinion and maybe I'm just lazy  :)

but right now someone can have a bunch of spaces in their profile and you could still have to scroll...


and the load thing well...how about if you can only have one animated sig? Animated sigs take longer than regular sigs to load soooooooo there you go.

you take it better in a PM but you have no problem posting it in open public.
For the moment we only limit images in hopes people will be civil enough not to abuse the freedoms of text. If those freedoms are abused, limits could be placed on those as well.
Be careful.

Well sir I already talked to a mod in PM about. But the mod stated that there is a whole board that I could use to bring it up to the other mods.

I'll be negative whenever I want.  In fact, I'm not being negative.  I'm just answering the question.

Sure, there's no rule keeping someone from putting spaces in their siggy to make it bigger.  What there is is COMMON SENSE.  I accidentally made my sig too big one time on here without even having a picture at all.  The mods jumped all over it--I got like four PMs in a matter of two hours.  

Maybe there's not a "written" law about texts in your sig, but if it gets too long for any reason the mods will use their common sense and tell you to fix it.

The pictures in the signatures are big enough.

I personally thing that sig space could be increased lengh ways since it doesnt take any more time to scroll down.

But also I think the maximum sig height could be incread by few pixels

mmmm, I already think it's annoying when a pic on a regular post is so wide that I have to scroll lengthwise to read all the other posts on the page.  I think sigs are fine the way they are.

If the width was changed to say 500 it would still be smaller than a quote...so the sig wouldn't have to make you scroll.
