    Well its getting abit slow trying to load some pages, people have mutliple sigs like 4 in their signatures.. and i dont think its necessary to have like 4 sigs.. Can like an Admin or something make a rule that we are allowed to have like 2 sigs and appropriate sizes of such.. Im just saying since their might be some dialups users here, finding it hard loading each page.. Any views on this ? post here.

    Dude you guys who say we should not let there be 4 sigs are dumb as hell. This is GAME RENDERS this place is meant to have sigs show off and shit, if your computer and T1 line can't take it then leave. Go to another forum that is not meant to have sigs shown off and stuff of that matter. Get a better computer to handle OMG SHOULD I SAY! 3 or more sigs wow... Stop whineing

    I kinda agree with SponX.
    There is quite a bit of room for sigs with all the info on the right of the post compared to other forums. And ya this is a render site, so ppl should be able to show of their sigs. I'd say save up some money and get a better computer..........duh

    Dude a T1 ain't that fast, its just a more dedicated 1.5 mbps up / down copper connection, I usually get better on my Cable Modem than that at most times :) but I also steal my neighbors connection cause his network is always reachable from my house :) gotta love idiots with 802.11g!

    but I agree, there should be a 250 kb max size or something for your whole 'sig block' or something decent like that. I think a lot of text is fine since hell, it takes like 4.5 ms (seek speed on average SCSI drive) or so to be able to load it and then for graphics, I think there should be a 1 main sig and then say 4 affiliate buttons MAX nothing more, since you don't need to showcase your whole portfolio in your sig, hell, to prove a point, I will just take all the templates I have ever made and use that for my sig, ;) no I am j/k but if I did you would realize that 1 graphic is fine, and you don't need to make it like 1000x500 or something, remember your graphic ability isn't dependent on your skills at making sigs alone, its based on the total the 'all around score' thats why when someone does a single event they crave more... like people who make sigs move to temps and to coding, and such... so you realize sigs are one part but its not the greatest thing, a limit is needed and the coding, hell if ya need help ask me. But I think something should be done...

    More over than what the admins are already doing, by mearly asking people to shorten them, since it just keeps reoccuring... and also people need to catch on to the fact that if some 'large' group asks you to do something you should do it... and also that admins are currently already taking action by shortening sigs themselves, remember Llamaman is 'all seeing' hes a forum 'God' in a sense... if you even whipe your nose on this forum, much less make a sig too long, he'll know bout it :P

    some members already received PMs and warnings from staff about their "elaborate" sig area.

    the general idea is that you can fill up yer sig area as long as it wont stretch the tablecell if you have a 3 line post.
    which means it should not be higher then 500 pixels with all the text included.
    so if you have 2 150 high sigs stacked with some textlines its ok
    if you have 3 100 high sigs stacked with some textlines its ok

    check this thread to se some bad examples
    loinheart and MagicEye13 both use 2 empty lines and why not put the "blabla sig" to the right of the sig instead of above it?

    see my sig area? has 2 sigs and loadsa stuff in it, yet I can make a 10 liner post and it wont even hit the bottom of the cell.
    is yer puter slow?
    -try emtpying your temporary internet folder (<a href=\'http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260897\' target=\'_blank\'>click here to learn for MS Internet Explorer</a>)
    -try defragmenting yer drives (<a href=\'http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314848\' target=\'_blank\'>click here to learn how to Defrag in XP</a>)
    -emtpy yer Deleted Items in your email client
    -empty yer trashcan


    that all helps
    I have an old 1GHz AMD with only 512Mb RAM running Windows2000Pro, but I'll bet it works faster then some of the +3GHz some peeps have. just coz i keep it optimized.
    off course all the XP frills and skins doesnt help the speed.
