Signature Sizes.

[Quizz]

[soapbox]

Alright people, look. I have nothing against signatures, I use one myself. They're a cool way to express who you are and all that jazz.

HOWEVER.

For the love of God and all things holy, does it HAVE to be frick'n 400x600 (or whatever)?

I mean seriously, a signature image should NOT take up 1/4 of my 22 inch monitor real estate. It's hard on the eyes, and it's a PITA for those on dial up, or just plain slow connections, and frankly, nobody wants to look at your massive sig.

What's that you say? You can't resize it? Well you're in luck, cause clicky clicky, now you can.

No I'm not setting rules on what size sig you should have, I don't like doing that and I think it's stupid. But come on people, let's be reasonable here. If you take one look at it and say "OMG that's big" then you need to shrink it for everybody's sake. Please.

Also, please note that I'm not posting this for any one person in particular, although one signature did nudge me over the edge, I've seen it before, I'm seeing it now and I would really not like to see it again.

Don't worry about it Jon, like I said it's not just you

[Kewlude]

You need to stop whining and get FF.
Or.....Go under your profile and block sigs if your that emo over it.
Just grow up literally.

Use the solutions on your end and stop trying to persuade others.

End of.

An equivalent arguement would be how awful some people here type.

I could whine and insult and plead and make up some stupid logic why you should use impecable english.

Noone would follow it just like noone will follow this.

Unless we started a huge debate over this and ruin it by making a higher authority change sig allowances, which i sincerely do NOT want to do.

I would suggest not worrying about the sigs, why do you even care about how much it takes of your screen? Why nitpick and nag about it? I'm fairly certain no higher authority really cares about this, because the solution is on an EASILY accessible profile page.

Therefore It's YOUR fault for being to lazy to disable them, Why should any of us change what we've got when YOU can easily do it.

Sounds like It's your deal not ours.

**Not flaming you just want you to see how ridiculous this is.**

lol well if it was my sig all along you should of messaged me. im not going to assume who a post is directed to. you have a problem with somthing i do? I'd rather you address it in a PM, not a post. plus ive compared my sig with others and they are about the same size! but ill change it if thats what keeps you in your shoes.

Edit*-next time, address it earlier and it won't "bother you so much" and also, your sig was one of my comparisons and minus the color problem you seem to have, yours is about the same height as mine.

Allow me to disect your argument here...

You need to stop whining and get FF.

Some people are forced to use Interent Explorer at work, or at home because you can use Firefox's built in proxy to get around firewalls set at home.

Or.....Go under your profile and block sigs if your that emo over it.

The thing is, we shouldn't have to. Signatures are nice to look at on occasion and it displays the creator's photoshop skills and creativity. having to block all signatures because of one person is unreasonable.

Just grow up literally.

Quizz simply made a simple request, and you are freaking out about it. As far as I am concerned, you are the one who needs to grow up.

Use the solutions on your end and stop trying to persuade others.

If the government told you to pay your taxes, and you didn't want to, would you still not do it? If you don't, you get slammed in prison for tax evasion. So telling someone of higher power than you to screw off, you are in prime position for punishment.

End of.

This isn't the end of the argument, not by a long shot.

I could whine and insult and plead and make up some stupid logic why you should use impecable english.

As far as I am concerned, you are not using perfect English either, so you have no place in telling someone else on how they should post.

Unless we started a huge debate over this and ruin it by making a higher authority change sig allowances, which i sincerely do NOT want to do.

You say you don't want it, but are you really propagating it? Yes you are with your smartass remarks.

I would suggest not worrying about the sigs, why do you even care about how much it takes of your screen? Why nitpick and nag about it? I'm fairly certain no higher authority really cares about this, because the solution is on an EASILY accessible profile page.

See my argument up at the top of this post for my answer.

Therefore It's YOUR fault for being to lazy to disable them, Why should any of us change what we've got when YOU can easily do it.

Once again, I shouldn't have to disable all signatures just to disable one. I do realize you can use Adblock in Firefox for this, but does everyone use Firefox 100% of the time? Does EVERYONE know how to do this? I think not.

**Not flaming you just want you to see how ridiculous this is.**

You may think that you are not flaming, but reread what you have posted. Does it appear that you are flaming? Could it be misinterpreted and someone could think you are flaming?

Hey, I've got an idea... let's all be nice to each other! I've been noticing annoyingly large sigs too, and LamourAlexx is certainly not the only offender. There's no need to point fingers in public - Quizz posted a general notice to everyone. If you think a specific person's sig is annoying, the forum has a very effective private message feature - please use it, or just adblock the offending image.

[Furtive}Nachos{]

I understand but Alexx's was botering me the most, it wasnt that big of a deal to need to PM the person, and in general its not a insult just a personal notice about something. And just because someone has a sig that is enormously large should not mean that the rest of the community has to learn how to use a addblock or image blocker to block that image. Honestly, just like PBS does it... there should be some restrictions for image sizes or people could start to get ridiculous with it.

Not trying to offend anyone, or not even a big deal, but seriously.... lets keep sanity in here.

[Drummer_X]>USK<[]

i so agree here, i have a 24 inch and i've seen some that nearly took up 1/2 of my screen in super high res, just imagine for those with 17" screens

[LamourAlexx]>USK<[]

well im saying, for MY sanity, if it bothered you that much then just pm me. or ask me. if you came to me about it before i would of gladly said"ok, sorry, ill resize it" but youve taken it to the point where your sectioning me out of the sigs that bother you. To the point where you could posted my name, you had two options: post her name, or send her a pm to resize it. In the future, please message me. it would save a lot of conflict from happening. Plus, it would be somthing I would prefer. understand that i dont want to be individually called out on a complaint post. I don't think anyone would.
