We dont mind you having colourful interesting signatures, but some of them take over the forum, they are simply TOO BIG. :thumbd:
We dont want to have to limit the size, we much prefer to encourage a sense of self control. But if were forced to we may limit them.
Placing huge unsized images is very annoying, especially when the person may only respond with a one line sentence, and then a load of page space is taken up with an huge image or streams of signature text.
Try and keep any signature pics down to a sensible thumbnail type size, as a guide no more than 225 pixels wide. If you can't resize pics then if you send it to me zboyd@seatcupra.net, i can resize it for you, we can even host the pics for you as long as they are not infringing any copyright and are in good taste.
Something like this is an example of a good size.

(Also see my signature below which I deem to be sensible and not too OTT)
Also if your of the camp who would much rather not see peoples signatures, then there is an option in the USER CP Options to disable signatures from being displayed.
CLICK ON USER CP at the top of the webpage under the banner.
Then proceed to EDIT OPTIONS then scroll down to THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS.
NOW You have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.
