Then why not turn them off in your user cp, saves any arguments dont it?

Then why have signatures at all if we have to turn them off simply because a small percentage abuse them with large file images???

There should be some middle ground, that is all I am saying. I didn't start this thread - I just understand the OP's frustrations.

The signatures should just be words. Not great big photo collages

Same argument works the other way, why not allow people to have banners, logos whatever, if it slows individual people down they can remove the option to view them, cant they?

It doesnt slow everyone down, some days even when the forums are very busy I can open a page at a reasonably fast pace and its full of huge signatures.

If you dont like them or they slow your computer opening a page, turn them off its no great shakes is it?

Thing is the admin staff may have to go through every single members profile and there is a lot in order to remove people with overlarge or multiple banners. Just a quick glance at the signature input, shows its open to abuse by uploading one and linking to others.
