hurting101 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 timdorr: On your (awesome) neosig site, the page after you upload a sig has a broken link on it. First it shows the sig, then it has a broken link. EG: Your Current Sig: http://dorm.timdorr.com/neosig/sigs/_.gif [text link doesn't work] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsutton Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 Well then, looks like a lot of people have replied to my post. I didn?t intend to start uproar with everyone that doesn?t optimize their sigs. Again, my intentions weren?t to get everyone upset, I was merely curious whether what other people thought of this topic. Take care. :lick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwaz Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I think it's rediculous. Some people have uselful info in their sigs, and I can check out their site if I think it has some info I need. I shouldn't have to turn off sigs just because the teenagers of the group need to have 500px wide images of the newest pop singer teeny bopper chic next to their ICQ number in their sigs. And when a lot of these kids simply spend their whole day here responding to every single thread with "yeah, lol" the load time can get pretty bad. And to be honest, it gives the place an unprofessional look and feel. People coming to look for some quick technical info aren't going to stick around when every page has hundreds of images.

Steven P. Administrators Posted April 1, 2002 Administrators Share Posted April 1, 2002 People coming to look for some quick technical info aren't going to stick around when every page has hundreds of images In all fairness, people who fall into that category usually have pesky things like "Sig view" turned off from the usercp. We have had this discussion before and it always came back to admin warning users that have oversized sigs (with huge file sizes) after it had been reported (or seen by us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwaz Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Again, in a techincal environment such as this, sigs can be a great way for people to get some info. I shouldn't have to turn them off because of these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastGodSupreme Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Heh, I just turned sigs on, just to see here was using images, and only two people in this thread are using images based sigs... I guess all the people with the big sigs are avoiding this thread like the plague ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have to turn them off because of these people. agreed, so we have to look at a happy medium for sig size limits.. I see 50/60K as a limit anything over that is pushing it yes.. but these need to be reported as I dont suffer (with my connection) and barely notice these things.

qwaz Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 It a tough line I imagine... But I can make a 800x600 px image and keep it under 50k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad banner size would be perfect. Not too high, not too long, yeah, maybe a bit restrictive, but I would guess it's better than nothing? Personally I'll stick to my text based sig. I have better things to devote my photochopping skills to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeRider Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Not to pick on you Keldyn . . . But you wouldn't be a Moderator here would you? *chuckle* It's right under your name, "Neo Mod Guy." It's in your avatar "Mod." You have it in your sig "General Discussion Moderator." And you sign your posts "Keldyn-Neowin-Staff." I presume that you're one of the new selections. Did you have T-Shirts made too? :old: I also wanted to say hi to qwaz . . . he may or may not remember me from That's Racin'. -TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
