Sorry about resurrecting an old thread, but I was wondering about graphics in signatures. I'm seeing more and more these days.

I guess it's okay if it's links to the member projects, but shouldn't there be a limit on the size of those graphics? I mean, not everyone has 27" widescreen monitors, as an example if griffindodd ever adds two projects to his signature it will take two lines to display on my monitor.

Another extreme example is Felsir, who uses a really huge and heavy graphic (gamekingblue.png, 132.01 kB, 510x230) in his signature. It's not displayed at 510x320 but it's still too big in the signature, not to mention that using a huge file to be resized by the browser is not a good idea in general.

Maybe we could settle on standard size? How about an existing web banner size, such as 120x60 pixels? Griffindodd's graphics are 176x47, I'm not sure where he took those dimensions, unless that's the dimensions saint decided upon?

We could go up to 240x120 pixels for the source image but resized to 120x60 for the display, if saint wants to support HiDPI monitors.

It it works for you, you can disable signatures completely. You just need to go to your profile settings, Look and layout, and check the box that says don't show signatures.

That's one option, however I like to be able to associate members with their projects. Sometimes you see a new project by someone, you're thinking "that guy is insane". Then you see his other projects in his signature, remember about them and then go "oh yeah, if anyone can pull it off this new project, it's him".  ;)
