We've been talking about some ways to make things a little neater on the board and an idea a lot of us came up with is restricting the size of sigs. I'm not talking about making them miniture, but allowing it where the height can only be so much. I'd say 99% of all sigs would fit in the height requirements.

 

The overall opinion is that this will make it a lot easier to scroll through threads and keep things neater. I also have adjusted it where the Soxtalk Awards don't appear on the left hand side, so that will shorten up the empty space that was showing up for those posters.

 

Anyway just wanted to see what everyone would think about something like this.

I have to admit I had to stop viewing sigs because it slows the hell out of my puter....most are cool but they take friggin forever to load sometimes...

Early today i took out the big quote and added a couple others. I think it would be a fine idea. Sure cannot hurt any. The digs do not affect my load time by i can understand that it does for some people.

I think that would be a good idea. I vote "yay."

There are a few sigs that stretch out board horizontally. Qwerty's, YASNY's, and Flasoxjim's just to name a few.

qwerty's???

Does it do that to everyone or just you? Because no sig on here stretches it out for me.

qwerty's???

It may just be stretched out on his screen due to the fact that his resolution is lower than 1024 x 768, if I had to guess.

yeah cause my res is 1024x768 and it's fine. in fact santo's sig goes out farther horizontally than qwerty's...

I might be the resolution on my family's computers. qwerty has 6 images in a row that expands all of his posts.

Same here.

i vote on no 2 sigs either

Having alot of posts per page like 30 or so makes scrolling a real chore. I think sigs and avatars are a part of our individuality on this board that just needs to be kept within reasonable dimensions.

 

If there are any good ideas for width and height please suggest them. I'm thinking maybe 400 to 500 max for height in pixels. Width doesn't really affect me so those of you with 800x600 or 640x480 (God help you) need to chime in on that. I've added a poll to get a rough idea of what people use.

I altered the link in my sig. Does it still stretch out on any of your computers?

Sometimes I even put mine up to 1600 x 1200, but I am usually at the 1280 setting.

it doesn't stretch out the board, it just goes the full length of it as it did before. qwert's only goes about 3/4 the width of the board. that's what i meant before...

Don't like images: Lo-Fi mode is for you.

i vote on no 2 sigs either 

 

 

Take it easy now...you're askin a lot :finger

mine stretches length wise...but i vote yay on it too. I don't like scrolling down alot .

yeah he is

i vote on no 2 sigs either 

 

Agreed.

who voted less? how crappy is your comp if you have less than a 640x480 resolution...

I vote yes on size restrictions.

Although I like to read the various sigs, I've turned them off for the reasons Chisoxfn listed. Even the most creative and funny ones get annoying when you need to scroll through them 10 -20 times in a thread.

 

Is there a configuration where sigs would appear the first time a user posts in a thread but not repeat? Or something like that?
