Can we ban animated .gif's in signatures...

[WhiteGTI]

Sorry, but they slow the whole site down when loading the topics..... 

[JPC]

there is a setting in your control panel to "dont show users signatures"

[Saint Steve]

Photo's are fine, but moving images on scrolling, is a pain in the arse , Not sure what they are to do with VW??

Im with you on this chris.

[Top Cat]

As JPC has said you can switch off sigs in your profile. 

[Saint Steve]

But why ??

They are not techically sig pic's, They are videos.

And what relevance are they to the person?

I like looking at peoples sig picd, but why should it be ruined by these page loading/scrolling problems that we have to put up with.

Perhaps minimalise the size of them to help this issue.

I cant look at anything that Rich Posts,as his video, near on locks both my netbook and Desktop!.

It's mostly Ollie's fault tbh, his are horrendous...

i blame TC!

im really sorry folks but for once im gonna have to agree with phil on this one.

i brought this up a while ago because it does have a noticeable effect on threads when people with animated gifs post in them.

as i mentioned in the other thread, there is no way on earth you can blame the computers or connections i use. this is purely down to the sigs. i browse all sorts of websites (haha, no ofcourse not those types of ones!) and i hardly ever get any slowdown.

i suggest banning topcat first because he is their leader then get rid of ollie, rich and ed and any other gif loving hippies

TC / JPC

I enjoy seeing peoples signatures, and it really breaks up the replies very nicely. Plus its always nice to see when people change theirs! I don't really see what an animated gif of a woman being punched, or a guy smoking weed adds to the forum! OK, so some of them are funny, but I'd rather the topics load up quicker thanks!

my god, thats a 1st nick.

heaven forbid you atmitting in public anything else we both agree on

[Greeners]

Does the ever changing sigs of the Saint count as 'moving'? 

[NB07]

there can be nothing worse at the end of the day than the furry photoshop attemts of the saint! 

im sure you agreed to me that your annoying once steve  

and i agree chris because i actually think the sigs are really funny that puching one did entertain me for a good 2 minutes the othernight but then it just gets annoying that the page wont load.
