@ FootballFan: The one on the left is AWOL (bandwidth exceeded apparently) but the other two barely even make my CPU twitch, much less cause a problem.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

If you have a problem with a sig please report it.

As a common courtesy to other posters, your sig should not be over 1MB. There are a lot of non-broadband people still on the net (yes, they do exist). Forcing your 10MB movie converted into a stupid GIF on other users is extremely annoying.

@people saying use FireFox

the same thing happens on my PC and it is very annoying and I am using FireFox

I can solve this problem for you. Give me free reign to mod people's sigs and in a week the last thing anyone will worry about is trying to put a gif in it, let alone one of that size.

On a more serious note, reporting sigs doesn't usually get you very far sadly. You have to be vigilant, and hope to get the right mod. A lot of them seem to dismiss the issues out of hand, or hesitate to take actions to correct them for a very, very long time. Of course this is a non-issue for me, and I somehow doubt you want me to re-enable sigs. At least if you still look at the mod queue from time to time =).

I warn anyone I see with a sig to big. I don't check file size though, so reporting is helpful. Considering how infrequent people actually delete mod jobs (seems like I'm the only one sometimes) reporting has a very good chance of me seeing it. Again, I consider anything over 1MB too big, as by that point you took some stupid youtube clip and used a youtube-to-GIF creator website. Seriously, just link to youtube if you love it so much.

As for trolling in sigs/avatars/names I generally don't read sigs unless they are people I like (who generally don't troll anyways). Again, report them and I have no problem banning someone over a sig if they refuse to change it. Most people who contact me back would probably say I'm extremely helpful in trying to get them to within a reasonable size so I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

As for other mods not doing what they are supposed to, I can only say bring it up with naz.

Honestly I've never noticed a particular problem with forum sigs even on my old computer. The background images running on Vgchartz which seem to use an obscene amount of resources are the only things that have caused me any significant problems.



I haven't had any performance issues but I do dislike it when the sig is longer than the actual post... Which happens more often than not.

Heck, I think I'm going to disable them right now. I think I haven't seen a single sig that would've had something truly interesting or important in it, though some of them have been pretty amusing.

They can always opt out like I did!



Tease.
