Gfx appeal to admins... Pls...
Ok so I love making the odd new sig here and there, but it always nice to have a nice big picture and still a nice viewable quality so,
Would like to make an appeal to the admins to pls consider increasing the dimensions, not size, but dimensions of the current sig limit to maybe 450x150...
we can still manage with the 20kb limit so that would be fine... I mean having a 'bigger' sig at same size can't make that much difference... Ok I know it would make the pages huge, but not everyone will be doing it...
Pls, at least consider it...
Thanx

yeah I agree. I have a really nice sig that nrg_wp made for me as part of my clan and really it rocks, but I cant use it here cos its too big (dimensions wise) actually its also 77k

I also think a small size increase as well as a dimension increase should happen. Very few people are on 56K. Im currently using an internet connection where I download @ 0.5 - 0.8kb/s and the way I manage to load pages is that I use Opera and set it so that it loads all pages with cached images only. This normally does not distort the web page. If it does then you can each image seperatly or turn images on and it will load all images.
I manage to browse like that.

if it adds no value, why do it?... the pics are of more than sufficient size to provide identity...
aside from that, the most stunningly realised 1152 x 864 x 32 sig will not automatically make a spam post less spammy... if anything, i'd prefer a reduction.... that way we'd get more posts per page...this would reduce, by a significant margin, the stress incurred through those infamous "LOL!" / "ROFL!" type posts...

does having bigger or smaller sigs really effect the number of posts per page?
how can that be? doesn't the amount of posts have something to do with how the board was set up?
but even so, I understand what you mean, and that is why I ask it to at least be considered...

that better schase?
and your contribution?
I have seen a few okes with sigs only 1 or 2 kb's over limit, plus the fact that I have not received any email from a mod did not make me change it...

@Rusty: Will it de-value the boards in any way. sort of a Why not(?) question.

yes, i wasnt very clear... adjust that to read:Off-The-Chart wrote:does having bigger or smaller sigs really effect the number of posts per page?
number of viewable posts per page prior to having to scroll again...
scrolling through a picture galary to follow the point of a thread is counter-productive.... especially frustrating when the bulk of posts consist of more picture than post...
as aggressive as it sounds, a reduction would improve browsing, not through bandwidth usage, but common sense and readability...

if it makes it more difficult to read a thread, it devalues the thread, and therefore the forums in general...
i'm not advocating removal, just constraint... this way the lolz0rs-crowd can continue with their inane interjections without too much thread-disruption...

yeah Rusty your points are well made...
though if you do not like the scrolling, why not turn the sigs off?
I also totally agree with you on that... I too do not like it to scroll down too much... but my liking to having a nice sig overcomes that...
all have valid points, and that is why I didn't say I demand it be enforced, after all that is why there are mods and admins...
