I know we used to have these but had a major bandwidth problem, but I was wondering if you would permit these again but only to a certain size like this:
and I see on many sites that the picutre only shows on the first post the person made in each thread, so you dont see the picture so many times.
Just wondering if you would...

Couldn't you set a size limit like in the avatars that way whatever pic is selected gets fitted into the alotted area?

Sorry. No images in signatures. They have no built-in limits and I don't believe they're useful enough to go to the trouble of manually enforcing them. I just don't buy the idea that having an image after every post somehow increases the quality of the board.

Sig pics are one of the numerous reasons I prefer not to frequent other, smaller message boards. They're distracting, they kill bandwidth, they're often larger and more content-filled than the post they're decorating, and they serve no purpose whatsoever except to say to the world, "Look at this pretty picture I found! Isn't it cool? LOOK AT IT! LOOKEELOOKEELOOKEE! Pay no attention to anything I type, but LOOK AT THE PICTURE! Sure, I could've just started a thread entitled 'Look At This Pretty Picture I Found', and posted it there, but then you guys might not click on it, and then you wouldn't get to LOOK AT IT!"
And don't even get me started on twenty-line quotation sigs.

I reall don't know why we did that here when we did. It virtually renders Nightly useless on 56k.
But as I recall, Six had a kick butt signature image.

I had two different ones...which, if you recall, satirized sig pics in general, and animated sig gifs in particular:
(Contextual note: the second one was created after the Admins imposed strict sig-pic limitations. For all the good they did.)

If you're asking about mine, it's a line from a Third Eye Blind song that talks about narcolepsy that tickled my fancy.

Mine is another weekly installment of the sig series that I've been doing for the last year or so...which I'll probably be concluding at long last by the end of this year.

If I had my druthers, signatures would be gone altogether. Clutter, clutter, clutter!
But that's just my opinion. Fortunately for all involved, I have a long while to go before I'm scheduled to snap and disable every last special feature that the board offers, resulting in NumberSix being forced to lead a manhunt to bring me in and/or put me down.

You know, 6, I was doing the scrollie thing and since both sigs are next to each other, it looked like that stick figure had a red nose... Very funny until I remembered that I HATE CLOWNS and want to kill them with cucumber sandwiches.
