I Move That We Make A New Rule At AO

[Cliffio]

ok i think its time that we do something about this, its been buggin me and i think it should stop

its an "unwritten" rule that you signature can contain a picture(s) with a total no larger than 15000 bytes
well since we are growing by leaps and bounds i think that we need to let everyone know and start to take control of this, people with slow modems and what not should not have to wait for everyones super large sig to show up, and its VERY annoying to look down a thread and see nothing but huge pictures

i think its time to stop
and i for one am willing to help

thanks
Cliff

You can disable viewing people sigs in user cp.

and ignoreing it will make it go away?
i like seeing creative signatures but large ones are still not fair to everyone

He is not ignoring it. If people who have slow modems do not want to have to worry about downloading signature images. Then they go to their user control panel and turn it off.

yeah

people like there sigs

and hey man your sig has a pic, so jsut calm down, its no biggy, my friend runs 28.8 and he runs the page pretty fast, and then there is always the cp

i was asked to lighten the load on my sig today and i didnt mind. im just glad he told me before kicking me off.

[Cliffio]

i realize that
but why change when you shouldnt have to?

if its an unwritten rule, why then can it not be a rule and be enforced?

it would also help EVERYONE with website download times and help servers and all of that good stuff

[Panzerr]

I agree with you. There should be a limit to the screen size of the pic too, maybe 100 by 300 pixels or something like that.

you miss understand

im for sig pics but if you look at mine its right around 5000 bytes

now look at yours
46034 bytes
WAY over the alloted 15000 bytes

Note my sig image.

I HATE the buggers. they're just annoying to load and load and load. and you're right, people like me can turn them off. but why should it be such a problem that we have to?

I second this motion!
Some sigs are good. Some are are ok. And many just waste space.

Actually, I think its more important that people post there sig only once in a thread and then disable it for every reply they do in that same thread.
It was something we did awhile back but now only one or two comply with this one.

[BTAutoMag]

just make it a rule and if everyone protests kick em off

[pip_999]

lol

i think its funny that the guy who says that sig pictures are stupid has that in his sig???
whats that word again when u do something, but you dont want it to be done

ah i dunno

and 46k isnt that bad for a jpg, some people need to lighten up, but then there are some people who have huge sig files, but its nothing to get all crazy bout

[pip_999]

but

aight i will bring down the size of my sig pic if ya want
i jsut dont know how cause i have to pull it right form a website right, or can i pull it off my hardrive?

[Jonno06]

yea,i got an email from Rob awhile ago telling me to shorten my sig..so I did.i dont remember whats in it know,but im taking out all the pics....

ps,i dont mind ANY size sig pic.
