Over Sized Signatures?

I like reading what people put in their sigs, but there are a few members who have large pictures in their sig and that really is off-putting. Perhaps pictures in the sigs. should have more restrictions. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks again for your help in perfecting my own sig. :) (And yes, I like your edit much better.)

This did come up a while back but if I had to guess the mods probably decided to do it on a case by case basis. It would probably be impractical or else very arbitrary to try and say what dimensions a signature should be (beyond a sort of technical limitation of what you can upload).

I have been a member of other forums that had a size and/or dim. limit. It is not that hard to conform, you can resize pictures in paint.

This sounds familiar.... huge forum signature pictures

Just curious, is my sig oversized? I'm perfectly willing to change it if it is :)

I'm more bothered by the picture not being centered, but it's pretty large but "huge" wouldn't be the term I'd say.

Personally I'd just get rid of the picture or go and downsize it by a factor of at least 2 or 3. The quotes are fine.

Mine tis not oversized is it?

Yes. TBH it would look better downsized some then the bottom pannel moved to the right side.

I agree about the sigs. It can boggle down loading times, nickle-and-dime people on limited data plans, and can be distracting.
Personally, I liked it better when RF didn't allow pictures in a signature at all.

I agree with this, when I'm at home a bunch of huge sigs in a thread drastically slow down my ability to participate in that thread (although most of the time I just lurk and/or rate posts). I got really bad internet. Not all of us even have access to decent internet. I'm talking less than half a megabit/sec out in the sticks bad. I know @Shadow Wolf has internet comparable to mine but not nearly so bad.

Report it.

I was kinda busy last month, so I don't know if the official thread on sig sizes got made or not, but we do have a policy for this. If it hasn't been made yet, I'll get to it myself fairly soon. The template is there, we just need to post it.

I read something about it on another thread but I don't know the name of the thread.

I think the site Admins should just put a maximum size limit on it and that would solve the problem. One guy on here has a Sig pic that is entirely too large.

In a generation of YouTube megalomania, it's not surprising to see in your face graphics screaming look at me look at me!!!!

While we're at it, let's all do something about all these oversized advertisements too!!

Waddaya say?

We can't. What this means is that I (or another admin) will remove your sig without warning and be very annoyed at you.

Well, then, I guess we'll just have to deal with it.

No, that's not what I mean - if you see an oversize sig, report the member from their profile and an admin will have to go in and manually remove it. It's not an ideal solution, but it's what we've got to work with. :sweat:
