Signatures
 

Maybe it's because I've been away and am now back, but the signatures seem to be much larger than they used to be. I mean some are absolutely MASSIVE. When did this trend start?

I think it is the younger Ledgies- who want to identify themselves with more symbols and pics-
You know them "youngins...", has to be MORE of everything
:)

And speaking of that- I think it is time to change my Sig-

PS: Sigs. that I just love the best- ( In case anyone cares...)
Always changing but always tasteful-well thought out and just
breathtaking...Jasman Flowers aka Jason, aka Jazzy aka J aka ...

It's my Last FM thing. Thats all. :p

:) thanks.

I love looking at everyone's signatures. granted, some are massive and that can get a little tedious, but I like how creative everyone is. I love MacMan's signatures and Eliud's...and I'm working on a new one as we speak.

Thanks Jazz... You change yours quite often which keeps it really interesting - and I especially like the fonts you've been using lately.

Sigs
 

Mac man- Jazzy-Eliud and
ragandbone,
skcin (I cannot think backwards :lol: , took me forever to note this down- Paula or SOB is just easier :eek: ...),
and plenty of others...

I just wish I was crafty....:

if these were my boards, i'd permanently ban anyone with a signature longer than half a mouse-roller's sweep!!! :mad:

Yeah, any sig longer than a couple of inches starts to get tedious to move past. But if you have the type of mouse with the roller it isn't that bad to scroll past them but it is annoying. We don't have a rule about the size of signatures but I believe general netiquette advises against excessively large sigs.

There are some gorgeous sigs on here... but sometimes I do feel less is more and some are excessively long

I made mine a bit smaller as soon as I saw this thread. :nod: :wavey:

My brother-in-law has a bumper sticker that says "slowly but surely the peguins drive me mad."

Come to think of it, that'd be pretty fitting too. :shrug:

Where do I sign?
:laugh:

Haha, send one to John McVie, I bet he'd love it! :lol:

It's not just the screen size of the sigs that is annoying - some of them have a large file size as well, especially some of the animations. Not fun when you're on dialup...

I'd love to see some friendly guidelines, especially about file and screen size. I mean - you can't post an attachment of more than 100K, but I had to block an animated sig (thru my browser) a few months ago that was nearly 1Meg. It's cool that I can block it on my end, but it still took more than 10 minutes to fully load before I *could* block it.

And I'm a sig fan, definitely - I find them beautiful and thought-provoking and often an insight into the person. I don't want them to go away. But I do wish people would be more thoughtful about them.

I hope mine isnt too big.:eek:
