some of them are getting outta control

mr.lob's sig gets bigger every week, just his sig takes up more than half my screen

can we limit the size? that goes for animated gif's too

true that

500px wide by 100px high works for a lot of forums. size shouldn't be more than 50k

Lucas could always make a "signature OFF" option in profiles

Our initial agreements were that there were to be NO images in all signatures.

This will be reintroduced again soon.

nah images in sigs add abit of colour to the forum...

a size restriction should be aok

get stuffed the lot of ya!!! If I want a big sig I'll bloody well have one.

We've already all decided on this ages ago.. just so happens we've all forgotten. I'll find the thread.

that thread was way back here.

Nice, get rid of em, there annoying and no need

I think this is irrelevant now, but here's my 2c to contribute



I look at this forum when im not supposed too, so massive glittery sigs mite help bust me. That is not shizo! or whatever's and whoever's problem, its mine.

But at the end of the day, reality is that I, and a fuck load of other people, do non work stuff throughout the day, and this happens to be one of them.

Im also someone that shares my musical interests with people I work with and the oldies are kinda interested in seeing stuff I do... so i show em pics and they giggle at my name on here, blah blah. Kinda of a way of sharing my out of work life with others, which includes parents etc too.

IMO, this forum is used by a lot of people and we get to have some wicked tooing and frooing with likeminded people, music sharing of the highest quality and a hour by hour guide of wats going on in our favourite town (not that i need to fucking spell that out (). Do we have to shit on it? 'Offensive' is different for all people, personally I find offensive kinda funny, and reading suck my balls doesnt offend me. But it offends others, and I just think that we have to cater for the people that will get offended.

As annoying as that is

I have no problem with small images in signatures.

For example Lynt's click bar and the Kombat bass banners are fine.

same, don't bother me. Option in your profile to turn them off to cater for those that need low bandwidth or inconspicuous browsing perhaps?

I like em too. As along as they arent offensive or massiove or flash really hard or effect laod times hugely.

Makes for a more interesting forum. Its not dialup for most anymore.

i think they can be used as a tool for ones ego, that is the big ones of course. The small web banners don't bother me, as previously stated they add a bit of colour thus its a pleasing aesthetic.

so agree brb

if you get opera web browser, or firefox maybe? there is an easy to access button that turns images off, so you can have text only browsing. Try that BRB

..or use adblock

i have no problem with images (e.g. lynt's sig). i have a problem with annoying, obnoxious, or enormous images. for example, the dude with 'suck my balls' in the glittery writing a while back, or that enormous picture of jessica alba (though I find it harder to bring myself to complain about that one just kidding, liz, no really), or four screen poster promo sigs.

if I have to turn images off to sensibly browse mb.c, then something's wrong.

i saw one sig today with 3 fuck off 728x300 images on it ... it was bullshit. pay for advertising, cheapskates

Yep. That was exactly the one I was thinking of.

Is there any further development on this? Some sigs are pissing me off

You're pissing me off too.

Dan your sig is shit.

says he with the big sig atm

I am thinking about starting a thread and poll about this in main area.

I dont see the point in having a pic in your sig, unless it is promotion, and even then it bugs me.

If you like the pic so much, make it your avatar.

I second that! Sorry Char but your sig pisses me off.

Promotion only and then please dont make it fucking massive

I like pika!!!

agreed. picking random examples from the most recent threads:
great sig: lynt
good sig: hatsudai
borderline sig (needs to be reduced a bit): atp
horrible sig: cha_chaos (sorry, but wtf?), mr b, quick

seriously, karl's sig should be the benchmark. it's small and non-invasive (with the greys). it even looks good.

How can you diss the Hypnotoad?

No, seriously, how do you do it? It's the freakin' Hypnotoad!

since having it, I've had half a dozen or so compliments. Hypnotoad FTW!!!

i'm glad you like it, but why not put it in ttan? or, even better, a 'animated .gif appreciation thread' could be created along the lines of ttan/bu/gripes/ebay/links, and people who like animated .gifs and really can't do without them in their lives could lurk in that thread, and the rest of us could read without having to see it every other post?

seriously, i'm sure it's great, i just don't want to have to deal with it. the signature is on _everything you post_. if you look at a signature like karl's or hatsudai's, they respect that. yours and cha's ... don't.

(it's nothing personal.)

my sig is pretty good

i know, its just your opinion. all good...

I have to agree with the Foo on this.

Quicks sig and others like it just piss me off.

Being able to turn them off would be good.

So would a mobile friendly version of MB.

YES!

addicts. get an n800.

(you want irony? the n800 site won't display on the n800. requires flash 8.)

I move for this thread to be moved into the main forum for public discussion. Even turn it into a poll so it can be settled once and for all

*Looks @ Dboy, Butters, Lynt or Lucus

not much point at the moment. will do at some point when the chance arrives.

All about timing.

i dont even know what mine means!

I get bored on public transport. as spanky as your Nokia is, I need open WiFi access points between home and work to use it.

you can also do Bluetooth and GPRS/et al. (works great if work pay your phone bill unquestioningly, and i do mean unquestioningly -- i've tried to make them complain.)

quite timely, actually. i just found out by accident today (fired up the windows laptop to do an expense report and thus saw my homepage on the intranet for the first time in a while, and that has your last phone bill on it) that february's bill was €1047, of which about €750 was roaming gprs, presumably mostly in australia. and no-one's so much as mentioned it.

its really hot and 'beatskis' sig is massive and shit

but it's Andy C, he's so dreaaammy

I quite like small signatures for promotional purposes. eg. 500x100 + no larger than 50k as someone else suggested. There's plenty of people on here creating stuff worthy of sharing.

^^^ says you with a sig 728 pixels wide
