I have noticed a disturbing trend in peoples signatures. This is that alot of them are having STUPIDLY LARGE pics in them. One page took about 4 mins to load. I say that they should be about the size of the one in dayleJ's sig but no bigger for us modem users. You have been asked and next step if not downsized will be a report to neo and the admin cr3w

Forsaken

I certainly agree, I had to remove my sig it was miles to large and animated which took even longer to load, I apologise

remember to be kind to us modem users yes

Cid Highwind

This is the only good pic of Cid

Anyone seen Gold's sig lately?

Redgore

08-17-2002, 09:09 AM

Cid your is fine but perhaps a bit smaller pls. (photopaint or another graphics program will keep the image looking proper.)

I have PMed gold about his sig I gave him 3 days to downsize it. I have also told neo about it.

hmmm ok but it could take a while

Security can click "edit/delete posts" and disable his sig through that. Mods also in their forum.

i didnt see anthing wrong with it it loaded fine on my pc is pc slow redgore?

CenturionZ_1

It's not that, it's that some people (like me) still only have a 33.6kbs modem. It is so slow to load.

Redgore

08-17-2002, 07:10 PM

My 56k connection is one of the fastest available. It still takes ages to load. In these days of broadband users people forget about modem users like me. From flash content to large images to image laden pages.

CenturionZ_1

Yeah, those guys at CS expect us to dload there 99MB 1.0.0.4 patch after we spend 10 pounds buying CS.

please behave, bring those sizes down. it is just too much. i am going to review all those images in a couple of weeks and remove which are too big.

Cid Highwind

08-26-2002, 08:40 PM

uhm can u warn them first?

08-28-2002, 08:43 AM

what about mine?

CenturionZ_1

08-28-2002, 11:25 AM

Way to big Boom. This page took me 1 min to load.

Boom A

08-29-2002, 08:04 AM

oh well i think its all right 2 secsond it takes

CenturionZ_1

08-29-2002, 08:34 AM

I have 56k, my Temp Net files allowance size is so small you pic cannot be saved. Hence slow laoding times.

Redgore

08-29-2002, 09:59 AM

Boom A Resize your picture pls. All it takes is 2 mins in a graphics program to resize it. Look for an image resize option. Photoshop photopaint Gimp & fireworks all have this feature. |They even have a ascpect keeping function dso your image wont warp and look ugly.

U got it better than me... i've only got a 28.8k thingy..... yea... everyone's sigs load fine it's just forsakens that takes longest outta all of em 4 me.... Even Neto's new sig loads fast on my comp, everyone's but forsaken lol.... i dont really care if u keep it or not i like that sig lots.... jus takes a while, plus i am always doing multiple things at a time whenever i am online so it doesnt bother me... when one page loads i'll be checkin on KaZaA, or checkin my other page(s) that i have open lol... so don't worry bout taking it out k Forsaken? BTW, CenturionZ_1 why did u take out that tank pic from ur sig?

CenturionZ_1

10-15-2002, 08:08 PM

I didn't like the tank. I like plain sigs.

Stryker82

10-15-2002, 10:41 PM

My internet connection sux lol........ Soon we suppossed to be gettin broadband but it aint available at our location(where i live) yet... thats why i cant play SOCOM online yet....

Forsaken

10-15-2002, 11:06 PM

are u sure Stryker? I could perhaps make it smaller might help load times

also if anyone else needs sigs resized I can do that for you
also any image enhancements u wanyt for ur sigs Av's etc I can do that to

Paint Shop Pro 7 is the best

Forsaken

Stryker82

SephirothsCloud

10-24-2002, 12:24 AM

Morpheus

10-24-2002, 04:02 PM

the admin staff are currently undergowing talks to increase the image restriction to 250x200.

this is just being discussed so don't get your hopes up.

Cid Highwind

10-24-2002, 05:06 PM

Yes that would b perfect

cHilli

10-24-2002, 08:54 PM

...

disable pics in sigs altogether and allow avatars to be 200x200

Cid Highwind

10-24-2002, 08:55 PM

Noo thats even worse :'(
i like pics in sigs

Stryker82

10-24-2002, 09:41 PM

As lon as i get to keep all of the stuff in my dsig that is in it right now, and i get to keep my avatar i'm happy..... i hate these sig rules....

cHilli

10-24-2002, 10:06 PM

STRIKE!

lol

j/k

its these rules, or no forum, the bandwidth must really be saved..

Cid Highwind

10-24-2002, 10:09 PM

That's true
I'm not resisting but i'm just saying some points
i mean CD is everything
i don't really like the big forums
too much spamming

SephirothsCloud

10-25-2002, 06:15 AM

i know what ya mean they do span a lot on the HUGE forums thats y i like CD so much its a good size and theres not 2 much spammin
and BTW 250x200 would be much better than what u said it was in your announcement thread

Cid Highwind

10-25-2002, 07:54 AM

I just hope we get to a reassenible option

Forsaken

10-25-2002, 08:07 AM

I can see what they are going for by making the size the way it is

CenturionZ_1

10-25-2002, 09:28 AM

250x200 would fit me sig perfectly.

How about 6 lines of text rather than 2?

Forsaken

10-25-2002, 01:24 PM

or just box it up a bit and have three

Stryker82

10-25-2002, 10:08 PM

I like having all this stuff in my sig!

SephirothsCloud

10-25-2002, 10:10 PM

using GLOW takes up a lot of text space

Cid Highwind

10-25-2002, 10:12 PM

I like everyone's sig

SephirothsCloud

10-25-2002, 10:13 PM

i know all the sigs on CD are cool thats why i dont want to have to use these new sig rules theyll make the sigs look all funky

Cid Highwind

10-25-2002, 10:15 PM

Then Its gonna look like everyone's sig is the same :d

SephirothsCloud

10-25-2002, 10:18 PM

eh what u talking about with the sig rules morphy was talking about the sigs will be all skinny

Cid Highwind

10-25-2002, 10:19 PM

lol
Well that 2

SephirothsCloud

10-25-2002, 10:21 PM

HAHAHA i was right lol finally i was right

Morpheus

10-26-2002, 02:34 PM

as neo stated.

two lines of text are for e.g. your fav quote.
you can always change your quote e.g. switch between your fav quotes every now and then.

and an additional two lines could be used for useful text such as gold saucer member, trainer of ******.

Cid Highwind

10-26-2002, 04:37 PM

I hav 2 lines for my fav quotes
but i hav 4 for the other
mod
codehunter
gold saucer leader
Trainer

Morpheus

10-26-2002, 04:55 PM

moderator is above your avator so you don't need it in your sig.

Cid Highwind

10-26-2002, 04:58 PM

Well thats true but it looks cool
oh well
I'll get on it
Thanks for the info

cHilli

10-26-2002, 05:40 PM

are all these restrictions necessary, i mean, lets just say,

i noticed something else which is bound to have cleared lots..
;)

CenturionZ_1

10-26-2002, 06:34 PM

I'm only asking for 4 lines... please...

SephirothsCloud

10-26-2002, 10:08 PM

Morpheus

10-27-2002, 01:15 PM

CenturionZ_1, just four lines?

have you seen how big your post is just for one line of text in your post?

CenturionZ_1

10-27-2002, 03:40 PM

So? It's a little big. But how long does it take to load up a few lines of text? I'm sure all the pictures that go with each post are a lot slower.

Stryker82

10-29-2002, 02:32 AM

I love my sig... i even took out that pic from it..... i dodnt really NEED that pic but anyways.... c'mon at LEAST make it 4 lines, and then more if u r member of sumthin or trainer/apprentice of someone....
