An Answer To Oversized Sigs? Could It Be?

And whats wrong with busting the board with wide pictures? I put up a warning first.

Its for signatures, and sigs only. There aint nothing wrong with a "Dial-up Warning" thread! :good: It wont affect that. :nod:
 
Oy, I missed that, I just ran it through MS word spell checker!
You do know that your sig pic is 66 pixels too tall right?

And Sir Minion was reffering to dialup warnign threads.

Yeah but that's my baby boy who is harmless and gorgeous...so whos gonna argue??

Your sig on the other hand....condescending.

Just in case you are not sure....

Main Entry: condescending
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: snobby
Synonyms: arrogant, complaisant, disdainful, egotistic, lofty, lordly, patronizing, smart ass, snobbish, snooty*, supercilious, superior, uppish, uppity

Do you have nothing betterto do than question the height/size of peoples signatures??

I also noticed in another post that you asked for a word to be banned from here!!??

The frickin word hadn't even been mentioned....anywhere....until you raised the topic!!

get a grip man....go and help some people with their fish problems....
 
If you are familiar with me you know that I have a large vocabulary, I am criticised for useing too many words that people don't understand. The comment about your signature was light hearted in nature, you may recall me giving a bit of flack to arfie about a little tiny 50X50 picture in his sig, since this is a thread about automatically rididing the forum of overly large sig pics I thought it fitting to mention yours, I did not mean to offend.
Also the word has been mentioned in two threads by two members, they were both deleted, because that site is a scam, however it does take a while for those threads to get deleted, and people do end up clicking on them and people do end up supporting that site, Places like taht are a real problem that aflicts new hobbiests in the world of bonsai.

Hi Opcn,

just wanted to apologise for my "attack" on your post last night. I had a bad evening for one reason or another and you unfortunately took the brunt of my wrath!

Have just read my post again and my manner and tone towards you were out of order.

No hard feelings I hope.

Perhaps if more people develop a blatent disregard for the rules, and knowingly choose to ignore them, it may eventually cause something to be done.
 
No hard feelings would have been a harbored even if you had no offerendan apologee, I like to think I'm easy going, and everyone has bad day and makes posts with a tone that they did not intend or regret. Perhaps I should have considered the content of your sig pic rather than just the size.

Griz, there are lots of people who blatantly disregard the rules, I can't tell you how many people I see who stillhave all there tanks and stats in there sigs, some are as big as 20 lines, the firefox Remove It Perminently extension has become my new best friend.
 
Coooool!
I've been a devoted Firefox/Mozilla fan for ages and didn't know about that extension. I'm off to find it. Thanks for the tip!
 
It's quite a useful solution for people who don't understand simple sig rules or who ignore them because they think they're special. I have a lot of sigs removed on this board and others because the members are too inconsiderate to use appropriately sized signatures, and my screen resolution is 1280x1024 so it isn't like I have a tiny screen either.

Firefox and it's extensions are the best alternative at the moment.
 
I think sig mods would be great on here to battle the oversized sigs. On my forum we have built in image hosting which automatically resizes pictures into thumbnails. Quite good really!
