Any chance that it could be increased? I mean, 30kb is a bit low, especially since the invention of broadband smile

yerssot
problem is, lots of members have sigs, and it takes up serverspace
not to mention that not everyone has broadband!

dave123
i'm not asking for damn animated super high res ones or anything

and since once you load up the sig once on 56k, it may be a bit slow for the first 5 mins you sign in, but it'll be fine from then on yes

yerssot
I still think it'll be a pain to those users

dave123
assuming its raised to 40kb...

thats an extra 10kb per user.... assuming they were all to max it out (which wouldnt happen)

now assume that in a thread, everyone that posted was different

thats an extra 10kb * 10 users = 100kb extra

which would take 20 seconds to load (aprx) i couldnt read a thread in that time no could you?

I don't mind the sig size, but the 10 lines rule is kinda low in my opinion erm

dave123
most of my sigs are clean under the limit yes

except the damn wall, that just takes the piss sad

Fire
the 10 line rule was installed because now ppl don't have to scroll downwards 4 pages to get to the next post because of some **** having a lot of stuff written in his sig.

as yerss said the 30k limit was installed because we need the server space and because a certain number of members dont have broadband

yerssot
personally I wouldn't mind 40 or 50
but the "think of the 56k-people" was always a rason here (and I think Tex is on one of those even messed)

10 lines? think that's just enough, mine has 8 and it's already big messed

Raz
Thats because you are using a large font wink

BTW, Dave, I'll contact you via MSN about your siggie.

Irene, how many lines would you think would be suitable?

Fire
why are we changing this rule?

Raz
What changes? I'm just consulting smile

Fire
okie, I just think 10 lines is more than enough, no offence to Phoe but I dont think we want those enormous amounts of text in sigs again

yerssot
raz has msn ??? eek!

yeah, I mean, I have 8 and it's already pretty darn large to my taste

Orlando Bloom03
Ya I vote we have more room for sigs to!!!

Mr Dvae the Great KMC Chipmunk
the sig size needs to be changed (sort of)

sometimes, the sig is fine yes then i add to make it smaller.... and THEN it says its too long confused

I'd say 500x200 dimensions is fine, and 10 lines can be annoying, but it's acceptable cos it stops the noobs and their 30 line sigs yes

and we'll talk later, raz ninja

yerssot
funnily enough, your vote or anybody else their vote means absolutly nothing

rusky
Well..I for one am against bigger sigs...

silver_tears
I don't mean monstorus sizes no
But if you want to go into tags like colour and size and soon glow, hopefully you run out of the ten lines really fast ninja

yerssot
than don't use glow

silver_tears
thats kinda the point of my request there roll eyes (sarcastic)

yerssot
than I just said it in an easier way roll eyes (sarcastic)

silver_tears
well obviously I could get rid of them, but that's the reason I want it expanded stick out tongue

yerssot
to fit in with the crowd?

Mr Dvae the Great KMC Chipmunk
the person who made this thread is so lame roll eyes (sarcastic) look how short his name is

silver_tears
like I agree stick out tongue
and yerss I like it because it looks nice, not because everyone has it, they can do what they want, doesn't bother me any big grin
it's for my sig, that I care about

yerssot
raz should never have given the code away roll eyes (sarcastic) *big sigh*

silver_tears
no one has a gun to your head to use it big grin

yerssot
nope, cutting your wrists is easier and more effective

silver_tears
you're sick stick out tongue
and I still want it bigger sad
But for now guess this will do *throws diva tantrum* diva

yerssot
than go nag for a bigger avatar again *waits for raz to also give that away to any n00b that signs up*

and sick would be if I would describe in detail how to kill yourself without any pain

rusky
how's that ? evil face

silver_tears
I don't actually want a big avatar that bad confused
It's one of the perks of becoming a mod cool

yerssot
how's what rusky?

rusky

yerssot
I won't post it you know ... pm on the other hand shifty
