Cumbersome Pics in Sigs

[SexPDX]

They screw up the page when they are too large. Look at a recent post by that Madskater212 guy to see what I mean. Can we not have those?

I think Allen already posted saying that they weren't allowed a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure what you meant, but if you interpreted "space" as "mouse scrolling space" (verticaly long texts in other words) rather than computer diskstorage, then you are wrong.
The reason for posts get deleted is the shortage of diskstorage, the new posts overwrites the old. Lorenzo's signature is about max 621 byte (621 characters). A PICTURE is different, for instance the simple "Post reply" icon, is 2014 byte large. That's over 3 times Lorenzo's sig. A normal picture at Hotornot is 90 000 byte in size...
That's why imo images should be disable.

i did interpret it that way, i didn't know the reason for posts getting deleted.

nonetheless, that sig does take up 3/4 the page. oh well

I've edited my last post for more accurate data...
Imagine newbees running a "post your hot babes here", could easily get over Megs, I've seen that happen in another forum, which eventually had to disable images.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

i like ht pics, they add a nice touch, instead of killing htem off, make it so that we can borrow them from a different website, that way it will only have to load in the web page, and not actually be on the sosuave servers.

sota like "img src" with an "href"

There was a board of girl talked about here a few month ago where you saw one line answer with HUGE pics... Pages and pages for thread with almost nothing to read. Just the same cute pics again and again. It is just like talking to someone that would always begin his answer by: "my name is... and i work at.. and i like..." Pointless!

Reading on computer is not as much enjoyable as on paper so i am more favorable of simplicity for the sake of readability.

The same reason why i dont care much about the overall design of the site: It's functionnal and i like that.

Short sigs are fine, but if you want us to know who you are, just fill-in the identification card or start another "Get to know.." thread!
