Default Maximum size of signatures and banners
I'm sure we all agree that signature banners add a bit colour to the forum but...

I saw a signature earlier with about 5 banners in it, and with very large signatures it takes some time to scroll through. Not to mention pages being slower to load for dial-up users.

Most forums have a limit to the size of signatures. So...

Can you reduce your signatures to within these limits:

No more than 2 banners (550px x 150px) and five lines of text (including blank lines).

Or... one banner and ten lines of text.

Or... no banner and 15 lines of text.

UPDATE:
Or... one 550x300 banner and five lines of text.



UPDATE:
As I posted here - http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru....php?tid=52792 - a 'View signatures in threads?' option has been added in Control Panel / Edit Profile.

I'm sure you can appreciate our dilemma - it's great to see all the banners, but a lot of people are still on dial-up connections and if signatures are too big then it takes absolutely ages for each page to load.

Maybe you could swop them round every week........

Thanks for reducing the height of sigs, those that have.

Make sure the limit of lines of text includes blank lines as well as lines of text - because that increases the height as much.

Also make sure the banners are not more than about 150px high, because tall banners defeat the purpose of the limit.

Maybe put the two small banners on the same line... I really meant a limit of two lines of banners.

Maybe reduce by two lines to get it down to five lines of text?

You'll need to reduce it a bit because you've got two banners and twenty lines of text.

It's not too bad though you've got 7 text lines and 2 banners.

There's a few people out there that need to cut down their sigs... e.g. andybigbro and sunshine30.

Also make sure that banner pics are no taller than 150 pixels.
