About signature images

[gila67]

Not sure whether this belongs here or in Technical Assistance, but I have a question about signature images on TMF.
I've read the rules on these which address the question of size, but what about having animated signature images?

They are allowed. But (and it's a big but) the file size must be of a small size, as to not hang load times for dial up users. If the file is getting much bigger then 100K then it may get removed it it's causing load delays.

What brings this question up is that, in parts of the forum, I've been running into load time problems; it's actually so bad that my browser nearly freezes up (and I'm using broadband, not dial-up). And one thing I've noticed when this happens is that there are animated sig images on the pages in question.

Report the usernames to me. I'll remove the sigs ASAP. If they are lagging broadband they are way too big.

Myriads,

It seems the same problem is back again.

Which of the 12,000+ members is the issue? Again I need to be directed at problems. Hard to find them otherwise.

I find the load up time slow until Jeff's ad fully loads....I am on dialup though, But after that I have no problem with load time...

the 1.5 meg image (Yes a 1.5 MEG sig image....sigh) you were having issues with was removed.
