Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 hey we are just about to upgrade to a newest version of forum software, im also in the process of making a few changes to the forum but one of the main things ive been thinking about is getting rid of signatures.and making the avatar pics bigger,ive currently enlarged mine to 200px but im thinking of making them up to 250px so you can see the detail of the photos.should we abolish sigs and concentraite on the avatar space,it would have a knock on effect of loading pages quicker,let me know your views people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 personally the signatures help me know who it is, it saves needing to read, as my eyes just see pictures before writing.i think its best to keep the sigs to help us know who it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stylophonic Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 anything to speed up the loading of pages im in favour of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i do like my sig but dont really think they are that necessary, perhaps just keep the traders signatures as they can prove helpful to link to there pages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 if you struggle with loading pics, it may be your computers problem, not the signatures? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 enzo bud your avatar isn't working, it's only half loaded epic faili do like sigs, adds a bit more character to the name, avatars are usually .gif's of ladies boobies on trampolines also your big avatar takes up 1/5 the page Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 fit? its shows fine to me, can anyone else see it?what size screan you using ryno ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sig's don't bother me as i don't use one although making the avatar bigger would be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_cl Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 fit? its shows fine to me, can anyone else see it?what size screan you using ryno ?cant see your avatar either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 mmmmm weard, hold on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 nor can itbh i think avatars are less worthwile than a sig, esp for traders, i think it all works well enough as it is at the mothink current size and format is correct Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i think perhaps just enforce a smaller signature size, so you cant go larger than 'x' of pixels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 traders would keep their sigs by the way si,ive got mine configured so it shows no sigs and it makes reading throught he forum alot better, especialy with some of the bigger posts where its sig after sig after sig!

Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ok points noted, ive reuploaded my avi pic, if people can see it let me know,i would not want to go any bigger than this as i hear your points ryno and dub but there will be also more user fields underneath the name,looking for more votes people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Can't see your avatar either Enzo.Either way im cool with it chaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 still can't see it mate! maybe a stricter sig size like already suggested to speed up things is a good idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 can you see the one i just up-loaded?it's just a line to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 this is weard ive uploaded itive enabled 200px the now just for people to see so get uploading and we could just try it for a whilewhen uploading it takes a while to populate every post with the new avatar i can see your new one ryno, wat a hansom ninja you are Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I love the way things are.Sigs give us a chance to display a little bit about who each of us are and lets us be more creative.Avatars altho not as important also add more visual elements to pages, makes things more interesting.It is also true both can have an effect on pages loading but to me its a small price to pay.I'd strike a balance in the sizes of the avatars and sigs.Perhaps make the avatars a little bigger, and a size restriction on the sigs but give people enough to work with.I'd also like to see a properly laid out gallery in time.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i can see btoh ryno and enzos avatars.i think maybe a limit on pixels is a good idea.it makes it easier to tell where i contributed with a sig, because otherwise i lose where i was or if i leave the site for a few hours and come back, i have to search through the pages to find where i was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 my reasoning behind it is who will regulate the sig sizes joz? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i cant see enzo's aviator at all. i reckon u should keep signatures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 he removed his sig 5t4r7et n/a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 im only seeing one line avatars too Gi would rather decrease sig size and keep em tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
