It means that the setting for posts per page is not sig size dependant.Originally Posted by ZeZipster
What relevance is that to other sites making up for their obscene posts per page by requiring signatures to be small?You are aware you can change that in the options tab, right?
I mean you clearly must have thought it bore some relevance, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

It doesn't matter really about the other sites. We have the restrictions here set to what they are so that anyone who does happen to have to use an 800 x 600 resolution on a dial-up does not have to wait forever to load. Yes, they could turn off their sigs, but why should they have to?
The restrictions here are good and could be smaller, in my opinion. Especially with all of the spam posts that go on in here. No one wants to keep seeing the same sig over and over again with barely the minimun number of words per post in between.

Uh, yeah, if the posts per page is high that means it'll take that much longer to load the page, which is why the sig limit is usually stricter for places with higher post counts. Deviant Art won't allow signatures because they don't have pages for threads, and that'd be way to much to handle on bigger threads.It means that the setting for posts per page is not sig size dependant.What relevance is that to other sites making up for their obscene posts per page by requiring signatures to be small?You are aware you can change that in the options tab, right?

continuing to whine about the signature restrictions after everyone has already said they're not going to change is just going to make everyone hate you.
Haha, no it won't. Well, it will make shallow people hate you.

Wow, so much debating over signatures
Animated sigs stay
For what it's worth, I don't give half a crap about what other sites/forums have. This is EoFF, and what other sites do has no relevance whatsoever to this site. I know sites that disallow sigs altogether but I don't go suggesting that here.

You are aware you can change that in the options tab, right?The post count per page option isn't definite in forums, the option is there so that if there is someone having problems loading a page, they can customise it such that it isn't a problem for them anymore.Uh, yeah, if the posts per page is high that means it'll take that much longer to load the page, which is why the sig limit is usually stricter for places with higher post counts.
So quite frankly, the reference to ppp was unneccesary.
well, it will make people with no patience hate you. If having no patience makes someone shallow, then ok.Haha, no it won't. Well, it will make shallow people hate you.

I still dont understand whats with all the PMS'ing over peoples sigs.
I was giving a reason for those sites to have those limits. Quite frankly, the reference to a different website was unneccesary.
what?
This thread has gone haywire since the original post, so I'm just going to address the original.
These are the rules. If you dont like it, go somewhere else. Nobody else seems to have a problem with it
You no like my animated sig?
Haha and I do think the current limit is fine, as long as it's not... one huge image and has some text in it xD
