It also takes longer to load up each page for people with slower connections. I'm not saying that signatures should be banned entirely, but I think placing a sensible limit on their size would be beneficial Any thoughts?

Edguy Personally, I'd say that yours is the perfect size. Big enough to stand out and be eye catching but not so big that it gets in the way I'd say that the limit should be around twice the size of your sig?

But...what grinds my gears is when somebodys sig is bigger than my screen. It may not be the world's biggest screen, but come on....some sigs are gigantic in relation to others- and while it doesn't pose any kind of threat to my bandwidth or the muscles in my finger as i scroll- it is still just plain annoying You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Deeproot's has a lot of pics, but they are small and not wider than my screen so it's fine in my book, plus it looks cool . Worst problem when it comes to pics in sigs is when they are too wide, because they could make the post hard to read. Anyhow I'd say 99% of the sigs in the forum are fine. As a matter of fact I can't remember anyone too big right now, good thing You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I do see some dissadvantages with the larger signatures - it harder to follow a discussion, especially if it consists of many shorter replies. Also - if people do start to disable all signatures via the board controls - important signature info might get lost. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm conscious that having the moderators look out for big signatures takes up their time and is not efficient. On most of the forums that I visit they limit the size of signatures in the exact same way that GMC limits the size of avatars - when someone tries to enter a signature that is too big it is automatically rejected. Doing it this way would save wasting moderators time as it would stop the problem at it's core. Any chance of this Kris? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I bet one can get an add on which auto-resizes huge signatures. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

I think GMC staff should make a realy strong limit. So not "not very big" but like "no bigger then ...x... cm/...x...inch." EDIT: Mine's quit big aswell I'll change it now.
