Reminder: Pictures in signature still NOT allowed

TortoiseAWD · 03-28-08, 01:56

Apparently, the new forum software has an option to include a signature picture. PLEASE DON'T. Pictures in signatures are disallowed both the save on bandwidth, and to cut down on clutter in the threads.

If you've set up a signature picture and it disappears, that was probably my doing. I'll ask DB if the entire feature can be disabled so new members don't get the wrong idea, but in the meantime, I'll clean up any that I run across.

Thanks!

Autopia was only my second internet forum (after MOL), I and LOVE the limits on sigs. Going to some of the other forums that are occasionally linked here is like walking into an opressively loud nightclub.

Come on, who are you kidding? You've never been to a night club before.

Oh, you're right, it must have been when I was dreaming I was you

I was going to nightclubs before you were born.

THANK YOU!!! I really hate that feature on other forums, the clutter is very distracting.

Definitely agree 100% I am on a few car club forums and I can never tell where a post starts and a sig finishes, this setup is much better on my eyes, although the forum looks different since I was on last.

No need for apologies, guys, but thanks for understanding.

While we're on the topic of signatures, the other main "restriction" is to keep your signature down to three lines of text. Just a reminder for our new crop of "spring" members . . .

Thanks!

Hrmm --

Would it hurt to implement a policy for your 'own' hosted sig's ? So it wouldn't effect autopia's bandwidth at all?

Or is HTML enabled in the Signature? If it is then one could just drop a line of html to their picture hosted and be done with it.

If you do allow it,.. maybe limit it to something like w=500 h=150 - Or if you want to get real stingy, be like CL and limit to w=300 h=100

Let me know.. (either way its no big deal)
