Hi, I am new here and maybe I have no business bringing this up I don't know.
I've got to say that I find people's signatures a bit too big at times. Am I the only ones that feels this way?
It makes the forum look kinda shabby if you know what I mean. Not that everyone's signatures aren't pretty, they're just so big and when you scroll down where lots of people with big signatures have posted it just looks kinda messy.

Sigs don't really bother me unless they are huge and take up the whole page. LOL

I agree, it makes it very hard to read most posts. but since there is no rule or if there is its not enforced like on most forums, You only have 2 options - deal with it or turn them off - which I personally don't like either option

Most forums siggy sizes go by the posters amount of posts - so that way a "newbie" say with 30 posts can't have a HUGE siggy but there is also a limit on the biggest it can go (and to get that big it's still a nice size that doesn't distort screens of small sizes or make the page all out of whack and you had to have a lot of posts to earn it like 10,000

and some also don't allow siggies to go all over the place like having 2 across and one in the middle under it, and some put a limit on them funky dinosaur eggs people were doing a while back

I hate seeing those little eggs!
lol you and me both! it got to be so bad on one forum people had like 30 of them going across the screen and my screen isn't huge So it garbled my screen all up I'd ask them nicely in private several times to cut them back like the rules say - they wouldn't so i asked a few times in public to have something done about it - again nothing - So i just put the person on ignore! LOL figured they had nothing to say that interested me if they couldn't even remove some of those annoying eggs to be nice to others who aren't lucky enough to have huge monitors

I actually am not a fan of the overly big signatures. I don't like the option of turning them off either, as I do enjoy seeing most of them, but I do find that some could benefit from being downsized.

I think the size of yours is perfect, Natacha. Thats the size i'd like to see - it gets so cluttered and distracting with all the huge ones. I'd make mine a little smaller, but i don't know how! Lol

well add me to the fan group of small signatures :) But since some members here have a big flock I can understand that the signature get's big. What I do not like are animated signatures, drives me crazy seeing the same movement again and again and again.

I too agree that there are some around that are way too big.. It makes the page look messy and you have to scroll for ages to get to the next post. lol

I don't take too much notice of sigs, but I have seen some big ones.

I don't often see any on here that are big enough to annoy me. Having said that mine have to be larger than some to squeeze my flock in, lol. But i try to keep it as small as i can, especially in height.
