Signature suggestion
 

UT, just wondering if it would be feasable to allow small pics to be in your signature. Example being http://www.thereallybigone.com/horoscope/fire.jpg which i would love to have. I know you probably want to avoid giant avatars that will eat up bandwidth, etc. I'm just asking to allow small pics, say no bigger than say 150 x 120?

Let me know when the voting opens to general population.

If images are let in the sigs, there will be no (technical) way to limit the size of them.

I'm quite strongly against it, for all the same reasons as avatars, plus in this case an img could be hosted outside the Cellar and break all sorts of things in threads. No now that I think about it, it's a bad idea all around.

haha well, that got shot down :rattat:

I am on several boards that use avatars, and also allow pictures in .sigs ... it's like Hell. Only worse. Especially since at least 3/4 of them are animated, with overly quick cycle rates. And too bright colors.

Take a look, if you dare.

Ouch.

Next time I'll yield to fear...

Just as a pure technical question, not an aesthetic one, couldn't you only allow images that are uploaded, like attachments? Or automatically insert a "height=x width=y" to the img tag?

Well yes you could do something like that, but it would involve a vBulletin "hack", which means the whole thing is more difficult to maintain at that point because each change has to be reintegrated into new versions of the software.

Hell No....do you want every signature as annoying as Lady Sidhe?
Christ, they're be half as many posts per page an ten times the garbage. :whofart:

One board I post to allows images in the sig line, and it is incredibly annoying. Some people have so many images that a one word reply from them takes up the entire screen. No, thanks.
:rattat: :dunce: :bitching: :dunce: :juggle: :lame: :violin: :smashfrea :borg: :rtfm: :spank: :devil: :bolt:

Although they really help, smileys alone don't make a poster annoying.

Wolf is the love child of Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde.

Remember, in the realm of the absolute all time is occuring simultaneously.

It's only the realm of the relative that there is differentiation...

Excess smileys *can* make an already annoying poster positively infuriating, though.

Dude - been hangin with Mystic and Velvet? Whoa.........deep..........

Don't know Mystic and Velvet. I've actually been reading too much Dogen.
