I know that this the GP4 forum. I chose to post here for better exposure. If that is wrong, well I guess it will be in the OT-forum soon.
I have noticed that more and more of the sig pics are getting larger. Some of the sig pics are good, and others...
Well the point is, that we have an old agreement that sig pics are restricted to 20K's in size. This is because a high proportion of the users here are still on ISDN (64K), 56K and slower connections. According to the poll on the front page, this is actually 1/3 of the users here.
A sig pic that is 50K takes a couple a seconds to d/l with connections like these, so what´s the problem do you say? Open a thread of 50 replies and you might have to d/l 15-20 different sig pics. That's quickly adds up to a lot of bandwidth and d/l time in sig pics. That's bloody annoying, and it has to be done each time a thread is opened.
So to those of you that have these big sig pics (funny and great as they may be), show some consideration for those stuck in the information bronze and iron age, and and get closer to the 20K limit. Thank you!
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
