We have several options:
1. No more images in sigs
2. Force a limit on the sig image sizes
3. Only allow donating members to have sigs with images
4. Only display a sig once per page in a thread
Thoughts?
I am tossed between #2 & #4. |

Lean: Conservative Gender:  | Re: Signatures - looking for feedback I think a size limit would solve all the problems, still, I really don't see the need for any signature, I turned mine off long ago. I think it really childish if you ask me, and more appropriate for a gaming server or something, Not to offend, just my honest thoughts on the issue. |

Lean: Independent Gender:  Awards: | Re: Signatures - looking for feedback #2 and #4 are both practical and would solve a lot of the problem.
#1 is also practical, but I would really rather you not do that, because I prefer using my current avatar/sig combination. I don't really have enough money to donate to forums, so #3 would also mess with me-- but, since I'm not a donating member, I don't reckon I have a whole hell of a lot of say in the matter.

This is the reason for the feedback request.
It looks like we will go with #2, so far. Only displaying a sig once per thread is popular on other forums too. We could eventually go with this as well.
We do not want to force anyone to donate, and I think #3 will make peeps feel that way. Nor do we want to give or create a perception of "if your not a donator, your not good enough" either.
Your sig is cool and the "Arch Enemy" sigs are excellent as well. It is the larger sigs that require one to scroll that are often larger than the post itself that is becoming an issue. |

Current Mood: | Re: Signatures - looking for feedback Wait, can we do #4?
If so, I'm all about that, there's no point in having the sigs after every post if someone gets in 4 or 5 posts on a page.
