Ok.. I'm on 56k and this bothers me, so if you're not this might not bother you.

I'd like to request that along with the size/width of your signature, if you post an image in your sig the size of the file has a limit. Sometimes I open a thread and theirs people with animated gifs in their sigs, and the threads take 3-5 minutes to fully load because of the one picture. I have no problems with all other sigs.

I think this is a good idea for us slow connection people. Thanks.

There is a filesize limit of 100kb.

Is mine OK?

It's not attachment. It's linking a file into your sig, linking very large filed pictures.

Your's is over 200kb. So no.

What? I showed you how to turn off signatures and avatars so they don't load.

There's still a person who has a 700kb (!) signature, for example.

And people with oversized signatures (by this I mean the entire signature, not just images).

Everything is fine for me, and I'm on 56k.
It's just not the dial-up, probably that your brothers computer isn't that good either.

700 kb in your sig is far too big. And I don't want to turn off sigs and stuff, I like them. I just don't like amazingly big ones.

[Loriel]

I still think a 100kb limit should be strictly enforced.

I will run a check on the sigs as time permits....right now I am kinda busy getting my kids ready for school after quite a few Dr's appointments for one of my kids who not only broke her hand, but had strep throat and some other virus in her throat which causes ulcers in the throat, and my oldest daughter moved out, so we have been switching rooms between the other 2.
After Monday (when school starts), things should slow down a bit for me, I hope....

We don't need more limits on our signatures because you don't want to be patient. I suggest 2 options.
#1. Disable the loading of Avatars and/or Signatures in your CP
#2. Get yourself a cable ISP such as Road Runner, you wont have anymore trouble with downloading or uploading.

I'm not impatient. But, when it gets to the point where every page I open has some sort of 1mb sig on it my comp loads it new every time I change pages. So no, I am not going to download 6 mb just to read a 6 page thread.

#1. Disable the loading of Avatars and/or Signatures in your CP

As I said, I LIKE sigs and avatars. Just not ones that are so big that they shouldn't be anywhere near these forums. I'm not going to turn them off just so I can't see 2-3.

Not in my area, or else I would of got it long ago.

This is not a question of speed, but one of wasting bandwidth.
Also I do not want to do without any signatures, therefore disabling signatures as a whole does not make sense to me either.
