Am I really in the minority here? It smacks of extreme arrogance that some members deem it neccesary to have signature pics that are several times larger than even a moderately long post. In my opinion, it drowns the thread, makes it difficult to read and is generally 'visual pollution'. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, and yet there are HUUUUUGE pics. If you want to have a pic of your car, that is cool. But no more than 100 pixels high.... if you want me to look at pics of your car, put a hyperlink in to your readers ride thread. At least give me the choice.... Thoughts please!

You do have a bee in your bonnet about this don't you pog?! ;D ;D I know what you mean though - some of the sigs are pretty mah00sive. I like to have one so that I can find my place in threads I come back to... But needlessly large ones are a bit rude, I agree. Daverapid - I think if we were to apply the 100px rule your sig might fall foul of it. Then so might mine... I can't remember what size it is now...

Hey Pog,.. how about going to Profile->Modify account and then setting Show Signatures: to No. "Selecting "No" will make it so that no signatures are displayed to you at the bottom of posts."
So your delicate eyes need not case their gaze of things you don't want to see.

I think it should be limited, mind. I like seeing people's sigs but not at the cost at 3 acres of screen or message space. I don't mind wide ones (oo-er) like BenzBoy's and daverapids is OK too (although maybe a little tall )......it's just the real bigguns that grate a little!

Yeah it only needs to be small really, you wouldnt sign or letter head a letter like that would you?
|
|
it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

i share the view that large signatures are annoying, it really annoys me when I'm missing out on seeign a pic of a car because someones signature is loading. i don't think any of the one on this thread are too big, which is why i went for a similar size with mine

That's no fun though.
I want to see silly text signatures or nice 100pix high pictures.

Fair play to that, I'm just too inept to have one of my own...

Got to admit I like to see sigs but they do my nappa in when they get to big.

Yes I must agree that the really big sigs are quite irritating. Full width is fine (well, 750 to 800 max anyway), but the over tall images just look curse word. I would say 90 to 100 max for height is a fair limit. Recently redid mine and thought I was pushing it at 728x90, anything much over that would probably be termed big IMO.

most forums allow the admins to set a limit on it, as well as the max number of lines of text in a signature.
