All these animated signatures do my head in!!!

[Wildcat!]

Just sayin' !









They're annoying! :whistle:

[Jayson]

Diddums

[Twilight]

Some are fine (Chels,Jayson,Nathan etc) but ones more than 5 secs hurt my computer D:

[King Gizzard]

Turn them off then

[WOMBAI]

I find it annoying when they slow down the forum!

[Shaun]

*shrug*

[Vicky.]

Turn them off then

This...

[Wildcat!]

I want to see the ones that dont hurt my eyes (not animated) , so I wont turn it off!

Its not the end of the world, But, I was just sayin': Its irritating!!!!!!

[\PJ/]

Like it's been said just turn them off like i have.

[WOMBAI]

Also hate it when you open a thread and the posts keep moving up and down - making it hard to read - assume this is also because of some of the signatures!

It is! I dont mind the animated Avatars, its the signatures that annoy me! All of them.

[Smithy]

It depends what browser you have though, I had IE and they just killed my comp, then I got opera and they run fine.

[Scarlett.]

Some of them are a ickle bit too long and the filesizes on some are too big, a limit should be imposed

[Jords]

I dont mind them.

[Scarlett.]

and to the people saying "turn them off"...

...why should we have to turn them off? I like looking at signatures

[Stacey.]

yeah, its well annoying! :mad:
mostly Stephs and Smithys.

[Smithy]

Haha :tongue:

[Jayson]

I completely agree that there should be a limit, but not as harsh as the limit on avatars...

Maybe like... 7 or 8 second limit?

[Stacey.]

Haha :tongue:

i do like it though :p

[Twilight]

[CaraRawr]

i hope mine isn't that bad :/

[Ruth*Star]

Mines tiny, it isn't big at all. Well i don't think it is.

[Zippy]

Yes. They should be banned like they are on other forums. For good reason.

Self-indulgent. Unnecessary and very troublesome to other users.

[pinkmichk]

its the combination of animated sigs avatars and gifs not just the one thing even if you turn it off you still have to contend with gifs in so many posts

[Shaun]

I don't understand the need for big signatures.

[Zippy]

I don't understand the need for big signatures.

I think some just have a desperate desire to shove their own tastes down other peoples throats.

As if we care.

Ahhhhh:/

[WOMBAI]

Doubt few find it funny when the system is slow and they can't get on the site!

[Stu]

Yeah The Shining sucks. **** off.

[WOMBAI]

Think more limits should be put on the size - if slowing system down! People come on forum to chat and give opinions - not look at others sigs!

[Shaun]

I don't really have a problem in terms of connection times, I just find them garish.

[MeMyselfAndI]

my avatar is fine

[Scarlett.]

Most of them dont slow the forum down, but there are always an odd one or two that go over the limit and slow me down

Delete your own pics then. As small as they may be they are surely only adding to the problem.

No?

Okay then.

[WOMBAI]

Okay then.

I'm not going to - if others don't - what would be the point - mine aren't slowing the system I'm sure! Would have no problem if others did!

[Stu]

No?

Okay then.

[King Gizzard]

Heil!

[WOMBAI]

No?

Okay then.

If I have to put up with a slow system and jumping posts - cause of other's sigs - then I think I will enjoy my own pickies thanks!

[Stu]

Okay then. Add to the problem and 'Enjoy' them. Whatever the **** that means.

[Jayson]

I ****ing love your sig and avatar Stu :lovedup:

[Jack_]

The jumping posts are result of the Live thread feature.

A post is just automatically added to a topic while you're reading instead of having to refresh the thread.

[Jayson]

I agree... mine's only 3 seconds long so doesn't really slow anything down much...

[Stu]

I ****ing love your sig and avatar Stu :lovedup:
I'm just looking out for the brudas, playa :hugesmile:.

[Scarlett.]

indeed, yours is sensible :)

Thats a separate issue. Large signs still take time to load, which slows the system down. Moreso for some than for others.

[James]

Well some of them are too big, and they slow down the speed that threads open, especially when you open more than one thread at once and also on older PCs. Check the file sizes - some are several megabytes.

About 400K should be enough but even then animated sigs can be distracting. Remember people have to watch the same video over and over again in between posts.

[MrGaryy]

^gosh what a trip.

[Kerry]

Mine are off. When I used to use the netbook they'd take up half the bloomin' screen. Never switched them back on when I switched back to my PC. They're too distracting
