LSP_Ron Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Many members have auto signatures at the end of their post that may show pictures of their favorite plane, what they are working on, automated adverts, a little bit of humor, a list of projects on the go or in some cases all of the above. The problem is some of these signatures are getting to be enormous. When these signatures start getting half page to full page in size it not only clutters up the forums, gives members finger cramps from scrolling (in some cases by the same picture signatures over and over) and generally makes the thread distracting from the original topic. These signatures with big pictures, especially the automated ones, can render that thread slower to load. Members with slower devises or slower internet connections are forced to endure painfully slow loading threads. Staff are asking all members to limit the picture size in their auto signature to around 400 pixels wide x 150 pixels tall, if text is to be included with the picture we ask that it be limited to 4 lines or less. We appreciate your cooperation. LSP_Ron Sparzanza and Ads 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yep, some are getting entirely too large, so it's in the best interest of all to minimize all that extra stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just wanted to bump this one, as I'm still seeing quite a few member sigs that are larger than our new guidelines are asking for. Reduce them up if you can, or ask for some help if you're having trouble. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Kev, please reduce (or enlarge because I know you dig my sig ) it for me as I'm on iPad at the moment and several features to change my sig is not available here. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I tried editing mine and it wouldn't take it. Says my image is too large??

LSP_K2 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Unfortunately I have no access to change settings such as these, Bill, or I'd give it a whirl. (Nice Rhino by the way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you do have that ability K2. I'll explain in the staff forum Bill, how does that look now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Great! Thanks, gents! And thanks, K2, for the compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thought I'd give this a bump. Many still seem to have not gotten the message. I've had to resize a few on my own, and will continue to do so for the sake of conformity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Just bumping this one again, as there are still a few oversized sigs hanging around. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yep, quite a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
