Implement Avatar and Sig Guidelines..

[Xtreme2damax]

I've noticed that there is quite a few members with excessively large signatures. It is ridiculous when members are using full hi-res captures and pictures as their signature..

One of the members has a hi-res 1280x1024 picture as a signature, which is quite overboard and uncalled for..

I've noticed others with excessively large signatures as well..

Some of us aren't blessed with the miracle of high speed broadband, some of us have no other choice except for sub-par slow broadband and dial-up connections..

I am stuck with a slow satellite connection because I can't get normal high speed broadband where I live.

Pages load quite slow especially when you have one or more users with excessively large signatures, it makes browsing, reading and replying to topics very painstaking.

So I've decided to throw a suggestion out to the staff of this forum, to implement reasonable restrictions/limits and guidelines for signatures and avatars. Once appropriate limits are decided on, they can be posted as a sticky in the appropriate subsection.

yea such as that KHRZ guy having such a big 1280x1024 image as a sig , for my internet connection it doesn't matter if he has that big image there but i am considerate of other people (even those that have slow internet speeds) plus it breaks the layout of the forum.

Yeah the forum layout getting broken is the second issue I forgot to mention, thanks for pointing that out.

my thoughts exactly
however, if you run in 32x40 as resolution your signature is HUGE

[KHRZ]

32x40 as resolution? What kind of resolution is that? Anyway if I split it into 2 lines that would help?
