I'm sorry, I must have misinterpreted that last post, I thought you meant warning someone by way of a public post.

Which I'm pretty sure you'd get cheesed about.

Oh, yeah. Making a post to warn someone is what is a bad thing to do. Reporting posts is something we encourage because it tends to make our job easier. :)

You're getting modwhoring confused with the warn button that's attached to every post that everyone makes. That's what we mean by "warning" them.

In thread warning = modwhoring.
Clicking the Warn button on an offensive post = makes staff happy.

edit: Well there you go.

Maybe if you didn't have an old 800x600 res monitor they wouldn't look so big, would they? If EoFF ever starts digressing, I'll leave. The sig limit isn't at all bad, I've seen avatars bigger than 50k. Most banners have to be 480 x 60 px, the dimensions you gave make no sense. do you honestly expect people to do back flips just cater towards what's convenient for you?

On dial-up, a 50k image should take 10 seconds to download, and only 3 seconds on cable... if you honestly can't wait that long, then I think you've got a personal problem. EoFF doesn't need to digress, you need to update.

I have 1280x1024 resolution. I have 2mb.

As for "expecting people to do backflips", I can't exactly respond to that, beyond merely saying, I'm just making my opinions heard, In the (apparently vain) attempt to make the idea gather weight.

Quite frankly I think that my suggested size is quite generous, considering there are places with a 325x60 sig size limits.

If people use the old "Creative output, blah blah, enjoyable" argument, perhaps they need to realise what you go on a forum for. Which is to discuss things. I mean perhaps the challenge is to try and think of something that would suit those limits. After all, if they plan to take a CAREER in design, they are going to have to work in confines they perhaps might not like.

I have dial up and it never takes long for a page to load unless I am doing too may things. I personally like the size, plus the height Master Quan suggested is kinda restrictive, and would be hard to read any small text on the sig.

The sheer size of a sig never seems to stop people from putting text outside their pictures anyway.

Discussing things, not complaining about sig limits, right? Or did I miss something? ^_^

The sig limits here are fine, I think. We already have enough trouble trying to fit things in a 60x60 avatar xD at least no one has any huge flash animations for sigs xD

There's just no reason to make the limits any smaller.

Touche.

But then again, this is the Feedback forum.

Oh, I understand NOW. I hope you GET your wish then and EoFF does COMPLY with those size limits you pulled out of your ASS.

Thirdly, those sites probably had 60 posts per page.

You are aware you can change that in the options tab, right?

What relevance is that to other sites making up for their obscene posts per page by requiring signatures to be small?
