    New forum rule?

    Can you people please post your signature in a thread once, it is becoming irritating having to scroll trough somones 3 page sig every other post.

    Pretty please?

    I wouldn't usually care, but my huge monitor has died and I'm currently running in 800*600. waaah

    maybe mods could make a limit so only one sig in a post per person but ppl would not just follow it

        I think it's more about being appropriate. Sometimes its stupid to have 7 or 8 images.

              We have an unwritten policy of no more than 15K worth of sig images. It's courteous to only post with your sig enabled once in a thread and a few people do that, but that's going to far to make it a forum rule.

              Raven Paintball-

              You could reduce the size of your one sig image. it's really simple and doesn't need to be that big, let alone in .gif format. Here's a .jpg pic of your sig image at an appropriate size. Please resize it.

                It sounds like a good rule to me. I mean, we saw your sig the first time, and I personally don't see what you're trying to prove with a million quotes and 5+ pics. I consider raven's big, there's more length to his sig than his post.

                  very good rule to resize, and the multiple sig images is a little crazy. Is my sig image too big? I dont know how to resize it, could someone tell me how? It could go a little smaller but I do not know how to resize.

                    And this is why I have my settings set to not view sigs.

                      some of us are spoiled children...

                      In this day and time of cable modems and dsl and gigahertz computers, it is hard for some of us to think of those less fortunate that have 350 megahertz computers at 800x600 dialing in from the sticks at less than 56kb.

                      If it has been awhile since you have been on a system like that, reboot your giggatower between every post and you will get a feel for what the big signatures do to load time. I have a fast computer and dsl, but this is one of my pet peaves, as sometimes I have to travel to east TN and use my father's computer. Some people have multiple pictures and animated graphics. I found one signature that totaled over 70k of signature. And yes, I think it did have about seven pictures in it.

                      When your signature totally outweighs the one line message you are leaving, it is time to just go back to reading. Please be kind to your neighbors. If you want them fancy graphics, design a webpage and leave us a link. JMHO...

                          FYI - you can go into your user settings and turn off images in signature - or signatures all together - so you can tailor the settings to your liking. Other than turn it all off - I cant just limit it one per post...
