forum upgrade, changes and poll

[Guest Enzo]

how do you mean one line avatars si?

could you expand on that,

it looks like il just keep the bigger avatar size along with the sigs,

but someone will have to regulate sig sizes

[BenV]

im only seeing the line thingy too

[WallaceGlanza]

A huge avatar and small sig looks stupid, I only just got mine working too!

I'm not fussed either way though, its not like you need either to tell who someone is.

[Ryno]

it's a 1 pixel line out of your av

[Guest Enzo]

ok i think this should work now, that will fix the 1pixel line av problem i think

let me know peeps

[BenV]

yep that works fella

they look out of shape though

[Ryno]

works for me!

and it's Uber big haha

[addz]

The avatar size is big & stands out like a sore thumb

Me thinks the old avatar & sig size is the way to stay personally.

[Jozinobi]

my reasoning behind it is who will regulate the sig sizes joz?

Im sure the dark room moderators would be perfect for that.

Joz

[briggers]

dont mind

[Guest Enzo]

Less weight = more speed.

Ditch the sigs and that will make the site more useable.

Function over form Gman.

my thoughts exactly Jay

[Guest Enzo]

im gona temporarily remove sigs just for a wee bit just to see what its like(couple of days)

feel free for feedback

[Nanglebadger]

i understand your reasonin Geo mate, esp as im usin a slow-ass dongle, but tbh im with Joz on this one, i like the combo of both.

i can defo see your argument tho, maybe it would just be a case of us getting used to no sigs and then we'd all be fine with it. would the easiest way to regulate the sig size not be to have the same idea as the regulator for the avatar size?? whereby u can only upload a file of certain dimensions???

[Guest Enzo]

to make the avatar look right you would need to resize is to 200x200 that way it would not distort bro,

@ phil and jay noted points, gona sit down and think this through properly

think il abolish signatures when version 3 of the ipb software becomes available just after christmas

[Markoos]

i would personally like to keep the sigs, i tend to just look at the sigs and i know who it is

[SpeedFreak]

I would rather keep the sig and get rid of avatar's if anything. I personally work out who people are by their sig most of the time. It just seems to make it easier for me, I dunno about anyone else but thats my opinion.

My computer always loads things up quickly, I never have any issues with loading.

[Sparky]

Yea I would rather keep it as it is

[Bildo]

I have to agree with the sig comments, it helps me identify people.

On another note, I have absolutely no issues with loading times whatsoever, and I'm not on a particuarly slow connection.

I'd rather have the medium avatars like we have, and sigs rather than massive avatars and no sigs.

[WallaceGlanza]

it looks all over the shop now with these big av's

I agree, mine looks stupid! The size before was much better imo.

[Guest Enzo]

ok amended it,

[Ryno]

if it's not broken........

as said, i have no issues with loading speed, infact it takes f.a. time that i doupt i'd even notice the diff.

alough i do feel that if you take away the sigs & av's it kinda loses a bit of character, the way TGTT has with only members having avatars and sigs (alough in tgtt's circumstances i completely agree with why they've done it)

big Av's are a bit over kill tbh, would rather a sig limit and smaller av's to make the place look a lil more tidy!

[Guest Enzo]

a hear you man yea full circle, after the votes,

when the 3rd incarnation of the forum software gets released il make my changes if any then

[Guest Enzo]

yea that would be the craic its back to 150x150 for the avi

[ste91]

Sigs and avas are fine but as mentioned they should have limits to how big they are, and possibly limits on the actual file size not just the amount of pixels.

Sigs and avas don't really bother me, even with a page full of sigs you don't really notice it.

But what REALLY FUCKING PISSES ME OFF is when you're looking at a topic, scrolling down to read the last post, and the pictures on the page are loading, and as they are loading, the page fucking scrolls itself back up when you're trying to scroll down and read posts!

I don't know what you could do about that though, limiting the number of pics would make it crap in topics where pics are needed, and having to click on loads of links to go through pictures is just as annoying as what I mentioned in the first place. Anyone got any ideas on this?

Also - in the Extreem EP Rides section there could be another one added "EP Conversions" for Starlets that have been converted from EP91 N/A to an EP91 turbo for example.

I think it should be kept how it is. Shows how the different possibiles in one section, such as all the different N/A Styling in the N/A section, even if some are Glanza reps!
