Spoilers in signatures

[Nixt]

It's not only forum loading that is an issue, that's a relatively minor issue to be fair. It's all to do with the fact that if you have absolutely ridiculously huge images in a signature, even in a spoiler, it can cause great problems for our members. It's really annoying when people have huge signatures that can stretch the screens, slow loading times for an individual computer or laptop and such. I see your reasoning behind potentially putting bigger images or videos in a spoiler, but in fairness I think on the whole it is somewhat unnecessary. Our signature limits are reasonable and fair, and it's never been a massive issue before. If done properly most images can be resized appropriately, anyway.

You can link to a video in your sig if you want, which would basically be the same as having it in a spoiler as you'd still have to make that massive effort of one extra click.

why arent people reading what im saying? I said you could limit it. So not so its 2000x2000, just so it can be 700x500, and being able to have a video

so basically we should just get rid of the youtube feature all together, i mean, it is just one extra click away in a thread anyway...

which is why i said maybe just impose a slightly larger limit 700x500/700, and allow people to have videos in the signatures

And that guys signature is ugly.

i was merely pointing out that you said theyre too clever to have such large signatures. And not only that, but maybe i think your signatures ugly, or garions is, i have no choice really do I, other than to disable it, and even then, i may want to see other peoples

...I thought that 'spoilers' were suppose to hide something that would 'spoil' something, not to hide signatures

correct me if im wrong

That would be the spoiler being used correctly

I don't think there's any point to it really, in all fairness people complain about people having huge signatures within the regulations, so if we started letting people break the regulations more people would moan too.

I think the purpose of a signature is to look nice, and a signature with:

Show Hide

hi my name is oli

will just look ugly, there's absolutely no point for this to be honest. In reference to you saying "its annoying finding an image thats 700x303", sorry but we aren't the third reich, I'm pretty sure any Super Moderator in the right mind would let three pixels slip, 3 pixels arent even gonna be noticable to the human eye.

the spoiler would hide the image, i just dont see what people are getting at lol

and im pretty sure a moderator would pick up on it, and you'd get warned, where would you say the cut off point is, because you may as well just change the rules to that if youre willing to allow people to go over...

The rules are 700x300 for VIPs, all I said is 3 pixels may be let to slide depending on the moderator? You clearly haven't been contacted regarding breaking profile rules recently if you think warnings are how we go about it.

we get PMd to remove it in 24 hours yeh. But you cant say that some moderators will let it slide, its either a rule or not, you cant say, 'oh well, you can go to 703x303 if you like.' then another moderator comes along and says remove it. How can you define rules if youre gonna let things slide everytime it gets broken just a tiny bit. and i hope you like my signature :rolleyes:
