Limit graphic files in signatures . . .

[philreed]

Over the last few months I've encountered HUGE graphics in signatures -- I run at 1280x1024 and two times I've had to deal with signatures that fill half of my screen.

Now I don't care if people drop graphics in their sigs, but could there be a limit on size in pixels and KB? When you hit a 40-post thread and half of them have signatures with 100kb graphics the load slows down considerably. Maybe a 20kb limit on graphics in sigs.

I was just in the middle of penning a similar post when I spotted this one. I would second this motion.

I think that demonstrates just how large the problem is.

Report a post of those users, please. We have a loose limit of about 6-7 lines of text for sigs; I can't currently recall what height in pixels is acceptable, but if they're quite a bit bigger than that, it's probably too much in any case and should be reported so we know about it.
