Signatures

Something seems to be popping up quite a bit around here that is quite annoying: Signature Images.

There used to be a rule against them, I am unable to find it at this moment, though I don't think it was taken away. The problem with these images is that it makes pages longer to load for people with a slower connection and they really take away from the posts. They are quite distracting, especially the animated ones. Avatars are fine, and it's the perfect place to display your individuality in picture form in the forums, go ahead and animate them.

I know a few others are getting rather annoyed at this as well. I'm not telling you that you must take them down, I'm just saying that it's something to think about for some people.

I wish image tags would be disabled in signatures.

I wish they would be disabled all together. I say just post a link to the image anyway. keeps things loading nice and fast for the slow internet people out here.

that's just my 2.01 cents.

True, and it helps prevent the proportions of the tables from getting mucked up. I'd vote to have the image tags disabled if such a vote were to arise.

I disabled them on my site because they do tend to clutter things up a bit.

I liked to have the image signature, that's how I differentiate my posts from others when I scroll down but others are just huge in size and filesize. That's what ticks me off.
