Why is it some members have to have such large signature pictures or GFI's. They just eat up data plans and cause slow down loads.

I disabled signatures first thing. I don't have a bandwidth problem, I just hate them.

Other forums I've been on restricted signatures to 50x150 max, avatars were 50x50 to 100x100. Of course, that was in the days where 1024x768 was amazing screen resolution for a desktop PC and most folk were still on dialup... This forum does have to option to show (or not show) signatures and avatars, but I recognize most members by these things rather than their names so I leave them on. I do agree that some areea excessive. Not to pick on anyone in particular, but chenessfan's is a fine example of what I would call excessively oversized. There are numerous others, but I don't know their names.

Chenessfan's is small compared to Justin 520, now his moves too. Didn't know I could turn them off,I will do so. Just don't see a reason to have these big signatures.

Oh yeah, Justin's is huge. I guess the biggest reason is "Because I can," but yeah, bit of a nuisance. I don't have any technical issues with them, though, so I largely ignore them. Otherwise I'd disable them altogether. Handy feature.

I will, didn't know until now that you can. But people should think of other and not post such huge signatures and not annoy people.

One shouldn't be forced out of their way by the lack on consideration of others in a public forum.
Besides, there are occasional sigs that stress actually neat to look at, and missing out on those because one or two annoy you is just silly.

I can't even read Mike's and yours is not only small enough to not make a difference, it's nice to look at. Tricked me, though; hovered the mouse cursor over it and it turned into the link icon, thought maybe you'd set up a website listing your projects and stuff. Nope, just photobucket.

Oh yeah, I noticed you changed yours, Digs. I liked the old one, but it was a tad large. This new one, is that one of yours or did you find that somewhere? I like.
