Auto Signature Guidelines


LSP_Ron

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I tried editing mine and it wouldn't take it. Says my image is too large?? This is what I tried to reduce it to:

Unfortunately I have no access to change settings such as these, Bill, or I'd give it a whirl. (Nice Rhino by the way.)

 

Actually you do have that ability K2.  I'll explain in the staff forum

 

Bill, how does that look now?
