I personally hate signature images. They clutter up the page. I'm in it for the words, not to look at some picture attatched to someone's name.

On top of that, even if they're small, they still greatly increase load time for any dial up users.

well whoodidally. so you are saying that there is going to be a forum mod that allows you to add specifications in which the signature must be within, otherwise it will automatically be disallowed? that sounds cool with me if that's what you're saying. even if your eye gets pulled away from the words for a second, it's not like you can't move that eye back again. and the load time issue really isn't a problem, there are tons of fast free image hosting services, and you can just make the specifications on the mod thing make sure that they don't go over a certain size. and no one's on 56k anymore unless they're on it to temporarily fix up their high speed connection. please consider sig images in the future, when you have a forum mod to control them. thanks malti!

Why do you want sig images in the first place? They're just a waste of space on the page. They're completly unnescessary. You've got a profile picture, that's plenty.

Something like that would be nice, but realistically, many of us have absolutely no intrest in looking at a sig picture, it's just something that slows down our load times and takes up space on the page.

Of course you can, Bwonty.

If you turn them off, then I could care less. I just don't see the point, and I find 'em kinda annoying.

I don't get it.... Arn't forums for words? If people want to show picutures u just stick a url up to the pic. Typhy said it;  I'm in it for the words, not to look at some picture attatched to someone's name.

Good Point GS... Let me re-phrase that since i do actually like the lil avator picks and would hate to see my sheep get shot!

We all allready have pictures if we want - even animated pics. Surely its more inportant that the forums remain quick and uncluttered - without pages getting screwed up and problems being created where Mauti or Elandrion have to waste time fixing them, than to allow a few individuals to stick extra pictures on every single message they post... thats why we have the my pictures! !

   

Just thought I'd remind you of a few of the pictures we already have here.  Don't forget that if you want an image in any post, it's not hard to do using the img tags.

You argue that people who don't want to see the signature pics should have to turn them off - I say you should have to manually insert every picture you want in a post.  It might discourage you from using up excessive bandwidth if you have to insert each image by hand.

Why?

Who wants to look at someone sig picture? If you've got a picture you really want people to see, link them. Give them a choice.
