Isn't that what the username is for, to identify who posted a message? My point is it doesn't matter that the image dimensions are now, because it's not what they've always been. I see nothing wrong with wanting back the settings we've had for the last year or more.
Now we're getting somewhere.
So, because you yourself do not like large image files clogging up forums, you think that the size limit should be restricted to an even tighter bind? I find nothing wrong with wanting a neat and tidy forum, but I find something wrong with requesting that our privilege to showcase our "photoshop skills" or personality in images or in text is a bit much. The image sizes are nice as they are now.
Believe me, I've been to other forums which allow pretty much any size images, or whatever other bullshit their users want to put in their signatures, and to be blunt I do not visit those boards simply because I find all that s*** too distracting to look through. I shouldn't have to sift through the junk to see the actual content of the post.
I do not mean to pry, but can I ask if there is some medical problem associated with this? I'm not in no way trying to sabotage your no doubt good standing, nor am I implying that you have an absurd case of O.C.D. that extends to Internet forums. I was wondering if you had a legitimate medical problem as to which why you cannot view erm, "super flashy images" in contrast to other colours and shades, or is just a mere annoyance of those with "photoshop skills" and wish to show off?
If you want to see good, check out GameFAQs boards. Nicest looking message boards around, since there are no images allowed and signatures are limited to 2 lines of text only. Everything looks neat and tidy, and you don't need to put up with what is essentially people showing off their photoshop skills.
The tidiness of their forum does
not equate to the
quality of their forum. Yes I've been to GameFAQs, and I find most of the crowd there to be rather vulgar and, in my honest opinion, so fucking full of themselves they can't even pass a bowel movement without telling someone how great it was, or how much better their shit smells than someone else's. But that's another argument for another time.
I guess, what I want to ask is, if I or someone here were to open up a "Signature Shop" where users could request images made by me or others to put into their own signatures (within the size limits, of course), would you have such a big problem with it? You yourself could request something. I'm more than a nice enough chap to do it quickly and diligently.
