Site Suggestion; Signatures

Recommended Posts

Honestly, the little signatures (with the scroll bars) make the site look a bit off. I personally think that the site would look much better without them. Anyone else?

Without them signatures would be long. I think we had it like that before and the some of the signatures were so long it was like a half of a page on its own. So this way you can have them as long as it will allow.

 

But i suppose i can hand out warnings if it gets out of hand. I think its fine the way it is.

I'm fine with it the way it is. As Pol said, otherwise people have ultra long siggies!

The sig system here is the best I know of. I personnal like it and it keeps from massive clutter bogging down topics and posts. If you really need to put that much in your sig you may want to start a topic about all that stuff instead.

We did once have bigger signature spaces, then signatures got massive, it's why they got made smaller if you remember :D

Yes we did have some members who filled up more than half the page with images. The idea is to encourage smaller signatures and that they're not taking up too much room and they are not slowing the page down too much. Although with gifs it doesn't make much of a difference, your signature alone 977kb of a total page size of 4768kb, and another is 800kb.

 

I'm planning to add more restrictions to signatures when I code up the profiles. Right now I'm thinking of a few ideas to unlock signature features, which may include increasing the height. By "unlock" I'm talking about either purchasing through a point system or an achievement such as post count.

 

I can see why you would complain though, unless you can change the height of your image you can't see the links below. Perhaps put them to the side?

I have signatures disabled as in my opinion a ton of images or an image over 500x100 is pointless and usless. I got tired of the liner sig rules here and just disabled them.
