the size that is defined in the rules is more a guideline not an expectation an signature image size has to be. some people seem to not understand.
i'd really'd prefer that people choose their image their signature image with a size and look that doesn't make the forum a pain to read. the best would be to remove this too clearly defined rule and we again individually decide if a signature is ok or not.

i can see where you're coming at with less sigs yandonman, i use fleetops a lot on my phone, and the sigs do tend to be kinda big and cluttering.

maybe allow people to disable loading sigs via a user setting. that way you can choose whether sigs are visible. it would only work when logged in, but you cant post when not logged in anyway.

Already exists. Look in the "Look and Layout" section of the User CP.
I actually have sigs turned off, as I agree, it can get a bit irritating when the sig is 10 times the size of the post.

You can get rid of avatars too, if you really want the "no frills" look.

But how could you possibly be frustrated by Nyan Cat?!

well on the bus accidentally triggering it isnt exactly the best thing. most people dont like drawing attention to themself on public transport in london.

or how about in a silent lecture hall when i should be paying attention to the maths but im bored and taking advantage of my uni's strangely good wifi coverage. every few weeks somebody forgets to turn sound off and ends up making noise, or has a cheesy ringtone, its funny, but not when its myself doing it. :sweatdrop:

looks like the people who posted in this thread got their sigs chopped down to the new rules, i'd have preferred if i'd just been pm'd that my sig was too big, then i could have made it so it doesnt bunch up on the left.

it's nothing personal. i just edited the (now) oversized signatures i saw so far.
i haven't modified the images, i just changed the height parameter where it was necessary

i didnt think it was personal, you applied the rule to everyone in this thread. i just think it would have been more polite to just ask me to resize it, since by the time i read the new rule you'd already put my sig on a crash diet.

all in all i think the new sig size is a bit better, sig doesnt get in the way so much, but is still big enough to see my support for ambas sep.
