Ok ok touchy subject i know, but to be honest i don't know why. Since i have been on this site they have not been allowed, i think troll thinks they clutter the site but i think they add to the whole forum expierence. I know bryan's response to this already.... give me a real reason why you think they should be here and i will consider it. Well i don't have a good reason other then i think the masses want them. Ok so another forum i am on allows them and just tells you to keep them under a certain size. Basically its a honor system but i think within reason is fine. Set a size limit like a avatar and then thats it.
For Eample:

See i think mine is fine i think his is too big and then still keep the ammount of line of texted limited to maybe 2 or 3.
I am just trying to make a semi logical discussion for something that i think can't hurt this forum.

it does get kind of annoying IMO

whats the big deal for sig pics?

Rcons · 07-20-2006, 03:22 AM

I vote sig pics

gary · 07-20-2006, 03:31 AM

I vote yes if they are small. The ones in the picture above are waaaaay too large. Large pictures make the forum slow and not too much fun to navigate.

sesolcSTI · 07-20-2006, 08:09 AM

I think the sig pics make a forum look like crap. It gets all messy with reading posts and such. Plus, morons wouldnt be able to grasp the concept of them having to be a certain size.

I would vote no..........I think an avatar is enough. Just my .02

I have been on other forums with sig pics, and quite honestly I find them annoying.

In lieu of sig pics, if you MUST, then make the avatar size slightly larger or something. I'll say that the avatars on this site are about double what I am used to seeing at other sites.

I come here to read opinions and comments and car talk, not see the same picture over and over (and over and over and over) again. There's already a gallery part of the forum, which many forums do not do. A small banner touting your car club or something I could see, but most of those sig images are just downright annoying.

Sorry...

R33P3R007 · 07-20-2006, 09:48 AM

i also think they are annoying. small ones are cool, but tons of people end up putting 5 lines of text, then a huge ass picture. it makes the load slower and takes forever to scroll past them to actually read the posts.

Edit. Like Tonkeast's in the picture above.

Vypurr2 · 07-20-2006, 10:04 AM

I like them. I am sure there is a VB plugin to moniter sig sizes, so if the entire sig is more than a certain height it clears it.

Make it so that the pictures only load once per a person per a page, so if I make 10 posts, my sig pic only appears once.

Make it an option in the User CP to turn on or off.

Renegade_ · 07-20-2006, 10:38 AM

Activate them, and install a new skin which is the "lite" skin (dunno if they have it already). It disables avatars and sigs outright for people who want the page to load quickly.

I'd be fine with that. The only way I'd turn on sig pics was if they were partially nekkid women in it.

^^^ good idea this refers to renegade.

im gonna put big boobies in my sig

james_ls · 07-20-2006, 10:48 AM

I think if we have them...make them restricted sizes. Then there isn't TOO big of a problem.

Intercooled T · 07-20-2006, 10:49 AM

you should all vote on a particular size and go from there. if there's a size standard, everyone should be happy, including the mods.

[edit] damn you james_ls, stole my idea lol

Renegade_ · 07-20-2006, 10:50 AM

MAX should be like 500 x 200

Mine will always end up something like 400 x 125 ish.
