yeah we agree there should be a limit, but all we are saying is extending the limit by a couple of pixels isnt gonna change ur viewing by a factor that would annoy you.


I understand. The rule is quite arbitrary. However, the line needs to be drawn somewhere. The line may change in the future, too.....

But if you can't afford to have your members have a few extra 100 pixels in their siggies then ouch, I dunno, I mean...Vanessa isn't too popular right now but what if she was?  The board would go over in bandwdith.


Well, transfer at this site isn't a problem. We get free hosting from a very nice fellow who doesn't charge us a cent. We don't host sigs nor do we host avatars over 16 kB. The problem is, some people here still are on 56k dialup. A one half meg page takes 80 seconds to load under somewhat ideal conditions on a 56k dialup connection. We don't wanna make the problem any worse. :)

it's obvious that we can write to somebody and ask if we can use his or her avatar or sign. what I meant to do in this topic was to encourage you to creat avatars and sign especially for the others. I can't believe that you have only signs for yourself. I have lots of this stuff that I'm not going to use myself or I created for the others.

I shouldn't have opened this topic. Discusion is on the wrong track. Instead of sharing stuff, people talk about how big they should be.

Hey I'm new here! Well, I've been reading the forums for ages but only just joined up. I would love it if someone could make me a signature! Could someone please explain to me how you put pictures or what ever in your signature? I thought it was just for text and am a little confused:oops:
