I just noticed someone with a sig that is an animated gif of 1.4mb in size.

What is the correct proceedure to report this? Or should it not even be reported?

i would report it. 1,4mb would take around 5 minutes of loading time on my dialup.

I also see quite often members using their sigs for ad space for their personal business, especially hosting companies.

There was a notice/warning issued about that a while ago, but maybe people have forgotten since then. (plus new people)

As far as that goes, simply report it, because as far as I can tell, its still against the rules.

Thank god...some of the sizes of sigs were starting to annoy me. I firmly believe that this rule should be STRONGLY enforced.

I agree, some of the sizes out there are extremely annoying and a huge waste of space and time to navigate down through the posts.

Click on their name to go into their profile, then copy and paste then PM a Super Mod (Green badges) or a Supervisor (Maroon badges) the link to their profile.

I don't know why the thread was brought back, but I'm glad it was. I can't speak for other Mods, but I won't notify anyone if their sig is too large anymore. It's getting quite old that people insist on putting these massive sigs up. If they don't have the courtesy to abide such a simple rule, I don't feel I need to notify them. I'll either remove the whole sig or edit it until it meets the criteria. If you continue to break the rule, you'll lose your sig privileges

I guess mine is too big then? :/ I think it is like 651x247 :wacko:

Your sigs are too large. If you see them edited, you know why

I put

Sig Guidelines - Joel

in place of the offending portion of the sig (whether all or part of it).

Here's the code:

I need some type of keyboard macro system to save me some repetitive typing...

Edit: There are also buttons in IPB for those that don't dream in BB Code.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
