Lately there seems to be a craze with people putting large (physical size, not file size) images in their sigs. Please stop, it is annoying. Perhaps we should set some guidelines for the maximum size images should be. And if brad wants to get real fancy, he can program it to not allow images that go over this limit.

Yeah, the sizes seem to have been growing lately. It's pretty easy for me to deactivate images in sigs if this is going to be a problem.

Brad, how small should sig images be? I can shrink my current picture if it's too large, but I don't know how much to shrink it by.

Offhand I would say shrink it to a quarter of its height. I've always thought mine was big, but yours takes up a whole screen at 800x600 you moron. Put the big one on your account page if you think that boy is so pretty.

A 375-pixels-tall image doesn't take up a whole 600-pixels-tall screen, Captain Math.

Consider this handy rule of thumb:

If your sig is bigger than the rest of your post, you're an idiot.

I use MyIE2, which has a ton of toolbars and shit. It's about 133px tall.

The start menu and status bar in MyIE2 come out to 51px (thereabouts)

So, about 180px tall.

600 - 180 = 420px

Even at 800x600, we're talking 420px of viewing space available. At 100px, an image leaves 320px of open viewing area.

Now, even though I've just showed that Makk is just being facetious (probably), I agree with the point of view. Huge sig images are, if nothing else, obnoxious. STOP IT, FUCKERS!

EvilZak's sig pic really did take up all the space in my browser, but he fixed it.

I think the size standard should be based around me, mAAk. If your sig picture is any bigger than mine, it's too big.

If it takes longer to scroll past someone's pic than to read what they wrote, then that's probably a good clue.

Um, excuse me? Under "redundant" in the dictionary, it says "see redundant"?

I always remember the way my English teacher taught me that there's no point in saying the same thing over and over. He said it just doesn't make sense to reduntantly repeat oneself ad infinitum. There's simply nothing to be gained by re-iterating the same point again and again and...
