Siggy pictures

[Hector]

Are we allowed to post signature pictures?

I tried to download this one:



...and I got this response:

"Your file of 2.0 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 2.0 KB for this filetype."

My picture is exactly 2.0 KB bytes.

So what gives?



P.S. This is the original picture:

Apparently you can. Unfortunately.

Looks like Paul and I are on the same team for once. I'd rather not see any signature pics here either. I've seen forums where this is allowed and it's a total mess down there. Before you know it the Museum will be flooded with these sig pics, which - like Paul said - makes it harder to read the threads. Especially in a thread full of pics, like in a customs thread.
We didn't have this feature in the old museum, so let's just all pretend we still don't have that feature and leave the sig pics alone. Thank you

Guess I'll have to find some other use for this :D

Yes, you will. One pic of Punkin is enough

Count me amongst those who'd rather not see sig pics. There is already a lot of stuff and space between the content of each post. I think the the people here are pretty creative and I always enjoy seeing their work, but I think it will becomemore of a headache.

I've gone into my control panel and turned off images entirely. "Edit Options" That way I don't have to deal with Siggy pics and I just get links to images posted, so I can view what I choose to view and don't get slowed down.

I also opted to turn off Avatars, which is nice. I get too influenced by the growling, glowering, weird pictures people choose for icons. I'll be very disappointed if I ever meet T1K and he's NOT Tony Orlando.

But it is possible to customize your experience here, so everyone can have what they like. They only catch is that the only way to turn off Sig pics is to turn off images---so you can't have one and not the other.

Sorry for being daft, but if I turn off sig pics, does that mean I cannot view pics posted in threads?

I believe you can do either. You can turn off signatures or turn off images or both. But unless I'm completely wrong, turning off signatures won't turn off all images.

Big sig thoughts

I think if we are courteous to the mego admins and host the stuff on our sites or else where so it don't disrupt their bandwidth we can do the large sigs.

[JDeRouen]

Nope!

Click UserCP, then User Options. Scroll down to Thread Display Options. Click or unclick whatever you want.

thanks!

BTW, I was just told that my "thanks" message was too short?!?! Are we limited from leess than 10 character responses?

BTW, BTW, it worked!

[JDeRouen]

Yep, posts have to be at least ten characters. I'll probably change that!

That's true. But I didn't want to turn off signatures entirely, because there's often useful information in them, like websites or when Joe or Hulk is having a sale or whatever. I just wanted to turn off the sig images which meant I had to turn off all images.

I'm sure my signature is a bit on the obnoxious side, I need for inspiration to strike so I can make a better signature
