I think there should be a file size limit on signatures, because it is quite possible for someone, accidentally or deliberately make threads very annoying to load by posting lots of images in their signatures. Right now, I think some signatures are coming up to a little too big.. I have noticed pages taking a bit longer to load.

Another thing to consider is a space wise size limit.. Signatures can become messy and too big, but then again, many people love their signatures and a lot of them are very artistic.. A space limit would suppress that.

What do you guys think?

(edit:) please don't dislike just because you don't like the idea, it would be more helpful to write a post and say what you think. Criticism is welcome!

That's great! I don't think anyone would have a problem with that but..
I have seen on some forums that people have huge signatures, and large threads can take minutes to load (though scottish internet speeds don't help).
What I'm suggesting is a limit on the file size of a signature, so that signatures can only take so long to load. It should be generous, though, so people get enough room to show their creativity.
I have seen on some forums a limit of 200pixels (or similar) on signatures, they have to be tiny! That's definitely not what I'm going for.

Yeah.. it's kinda verging on too big. Maybe he could downsize some of the images?

It only depends on the speed of your computer? you need some bux and a new pooter.

I might write a tutorial on how to do that, do you think people would find it useful?

Hmm i kind of agree but like Pickle1020 said what if they want to show their artwork? Alternatively it probably will take a while, but at least every signature is excellent!

The idea of this is not to stop any artwork! Just maybe you might have to swap your artwork around, but you can still have 3-4 images in your sig no problem!

What I think is there should be a size limit, not a number limit and you should at least change the size of your photos, they are really big and cause the pages to load really slow for them. Not trying to be rude, just helping.
