Signatures are getting out of hand (again)
 

Seriously guys. A company can manage to fit everything they need to communicate in a standard 468x60 ad banner, but you're so clever and special and unique that you need 4 times that amount of screen space for your signature?

Signatures are out of control. We have very generous guidelines. 200 pixels tall by 650 pixels wide is more than enough screen real estate for you to express you individuality. That dimension includes your graphics AND any witty text you want to share.

If you don't know how to resize your clever photo, or are unable to determine whether your amazing graphic meets the guidelines, you probably don't need a signature to begin with.

Consider this your final warning. Bob Dole and the other mods don't have the time to babysit your stupid ass and send you a personalized invitation to follow the site's guidelines. Adjust your extremely clever and beautifully expressive signature to comply with the guidelines immediately, or lose your ability to have one at all.

How much would banning .gifs and other animated photos help??

I'll tone it down a bit.

You'll be fighting a losing battle on that one.

You might as well say what you mean:







Laz. :)

Does anyone ever look at those things??? I know I do not. Get rid of them would sure work for me.

Nah.. I use the "at work" option.

It adds nothing to the board.

So I should nix putting the entire Lord of the Rings saga into a .gif, and then putting it in my sig?

Observe my tastefully sized signature.

In fact, just to show off, I'm going to change to an even MORE tastefully sized signature. Give me a second.

I think many would be opposed to banning my sig.

Look how tasteful that is!

Actually, sigs like that should be banned. :D

What?? You don't like Paul Walker? :p
