Can you turn off the avatars, and all the stuff that slows the forum down.

It worked last night.

Try removing your 392,487 byte (383kb) signature, it'll help speed things up not only for you, but for everybody else.

I appreciate someone put 5 stars agin my thread.

Some posters include trailers of corrie in their sig, etc. That must wreck the forum.

Clear the junk when the forum is busy. That's all I'm asking.

Are signatures still shown, including the massive photographs? I have them turned off, just wondered if they were shown when avatarsdare disabled by the site.

It would probably help if some people didn't have signatures which were up to (and sometimes over) about 600x600 as well.

Yes, the annoying and massive (and often animated GIF) avatars in signatures are still shown.
Why people can't keep their signatures to simple and unannoying text I don't know ... newbies?

They add nothing to the forum, except making threads a little less easy to parse and increase load on the servers.

The avatars aren't the problem - they're restricted by size.

It's the large photos (and sometimes animated GIFs which are even more expensive in terms of size) in peoples signatures that are the main problem.

No, you have it wrong. The avatars are on the same server as this forum, the Gifs and sigs are hosted by other sites.

No my friend - you have it wrong. It doesn't matter which server the images are hosted on, they must be downloaded by us the users (unless we have signatures turned off in our options).

A download is a download - it doesn't matter where the images are hosted.

Shouldn't this question be directed at the admin, not the mods?
