Have you complied with the new signature rule? - Page 4

wayne_abx · 08-25-2004, 01:20 PM

I know from the past when accessing [AB] on dial-up using my mom's computer, some of the [Sig's] dogged the thread I was trying to access and one of them was mine (reason I done away with it some time ago)

Also, I don't mine graphic uploads to the [AB] server since 'Thumbnails' are used but, it's the 1024x768, 1280x1024 etc.. that are linked to the thread, IMHO if a graphic is linked thus not "Thumbnails" as when using the [AB] server to hold the graphic then the 640x480 rule should apply. It does suck having to use the slider to view the thread on a 18" FP display not to mention dial-up access being dogged. I know...

Guess I am also a Sig/Graphic Nazi

Yes - and I appreciate the new rule. Some sigs were getting so big I was getting ready to look for a way to turn them all off in the UserCP.

Is there a character limit?

I like specs in a sig too, I just wish they were all in a .jp or a .gif so it doesn't screw up the search function... Ever do a search in here for a particular piece of hardware?

Yup -- mayhem!

REVAN_abx · 08-25-2004, 02:45 PM

Don't know, but I'll find out and make changes if needed.

sigs r NEVER included in search, it doesnt matter if sigs r in text or a pic. More over, u cant search in sigs even if u wanted, only in titles or titles and bodies of posts.

Mike Donatello , REVAN - Sig Sizer Image - This is the maximum allowed size that includes images and text in your signature.

here and here i explain to Bofinn (damn, i keep typing 2 f's and one 'n' in that name lol) how to check a sig for compliance.

Well, I just got simplified. But I do so under protest.

Hey Borodar, just remember this:

it's pronounced Bo Finn

Bo = my last name is S****** which is Bohemian

Finn = I am 50% Finlander by blood

borodar · 08-25-2004, 07:27 PM

Mike Donatello - protest against what? how difficult is that to type your system specs in small font and have it showing up in the sig if u r so inclined to?

edit:
Look at Boffin's sig. He has specs in all the pretty colors he wants, AND a gif with his motto, i presume. 650x150 gives u plenty of room.
:tide

Underwater Mike · 08-25-2004, 07:47 PM

Protest what? I dunno. It took me 30 seconds and a few clicks to change. Woulda been fewer if I hadn't made some typos.

Just seems like the kind of thing one ought to protest.

Yeah, I just passed into the 40+ age group, and I watch Bevis & Butthead more now than when it was on originally. Go figure...

Hmm...would be cool it it was pronounced "Smeagol" but I'd just want to call you "Gollum".

How's it pronounced?
