Sigs again. Read Please.

There are a few sigs out there that are WAY too large.  Since the old scroll bar from the old board is gone, folks need to shrink things down to a reasonable size, so as not to be tedious.

200 to 300 pixels tall is acceptable.  If you don't know how large that is,  200 pixels is what the old board allowed before it scrolled, and my current sig is 200 pixels tall.

Yes, the user has the ability to turn off viewing of other members sigs, but we'd rather people be allowed some expression, as long as individuals use some restraint and common sense and police themselves.

The alternative is no images in sigs, or even sigs for anyone. Keep that in mind should you choose to complain about the rule.

Thanks,
The Management

i would suppose both are fine, they're not that big

chuck, isn't there a way to limit pixel size? i know on other forums they have a sig pixel max

Like I said, mine is 200 pixels (with the little text over it)...so you can judge that close to that, or a bit taller, is fine.  200 pixels was the old limit before the sigs would scroll on the old board.

I don't think the admins have had the time to mess with figuring out the forum software that might hard limit this, but they shouldn't have to.  If your sig takes up almost an entire screen, one would think that one might think that was probably not right.  Again, restraint and common sense.

Mine also fit in the box before scrolling, if anyone wants to size theirs up against it. I sized it so the text would also show with out scrolling

Keep in mind that it's not just large images that add to thread clutter, but also lines of text. When each page of a thread is largely composed of redundant signature images and text, rather than useful information, something has to change.

yep. I know I'm as guilty as anybody else, but there is an option to uncheck before one replies that says, "Show Signature." I'd say once per page is good, at most.

If I'm not mistaken; there is an admin option in the vBulletin software that can do that for every poster.......I.E. if they post 7 times in a thread their signature will show once.

That would be interesting, but I wouldn't think we'd need to go to that extent. The option box isn't that hard to find :p
