I logged on to V9 via my cellphone and was amazed at how long it took pages to load with all the avatars and signatures. While members can disable both of these it is somewhat of a nuisance to guests who have to wait while sigs almost a MB in size are downloaded. Yes yes, I know it isn't much to most of us but there are still people who use dial-up or mobile Internet access. Besides, there is no real reason to have a whopping Flash animation as either your avatar or sig. Scouring through member profiles I see there are a fair number of these monsters. Thus, I've decreased the sig size limitation to 300kb from the ridiculous 1mb size. Avatars are still the same at 130kb with dimensions of 125x125. You are also still allowed Flash and such. Oh, and text is also your friend  kthnx -------------------- |

Amen...
My speed is pretty damn slow most of the time and this should be one hell of an improvement On a related front the adblock plugin for firefox 2 allows you to cancel out images so if anything bugging you - you can choose to remove it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 This post has been edited by RenegadeNukes: Jan 18 2008, 06:14 AM |

I know Paul moaned about it as well, and I am pretty keen on keeping them smaller. I prefer to use my bandwidth here
I guess that means it's pretty unanymous LOM.

This is not directed at LoM or anyone else in particular. Yes, LoM, you were one of the offenders, but there were a bunch of sigs that I found which were just ridiculous so this is nothing personal.

Smart-ass
 Note it was for 'weirdest sig,' not 'most stupidly bloated Flash animation.' |

The competition was over ages ago.
And no, I didn't say you said I directed it at you: just clarifying that it was a general statement before someone cries about member abuse or something. |
