Post by: Saint Steve on June 15, 2010, 08:02:41 pm: Photo's are fine, but moving images on scrolling, is a pain in the arse , Not sure what they are to do with VW??

Post by: Saint Steve on June 15, 2010, 08:12:22 pm: But why ??

They are not techically sig pic's, They are videos.

And what relevance are they to the person?

I like looking at peoples sig picd, but why should it be ruined by these page loading/scrolling problems that we have to put up with.

Perhaps minimalise the size of them to help this issue.

I cant look at anything that Rich Posts,as his video, near on locks both my netbook and Desktop!.

Post by: NB07 on June 15, 2010, 09:01:17 pm: i blame TC!

im really sorry folks but for once im gonna have to agree with phil on this one.

i brought this up a while ago because it does have a noticeable effect on threads when people with animated gifs post in them.

as i mentioned in the other thread, there is no way on earth you can blame the computers or connections i use. this is purely down to the sigs. i browse all sorts of websites (haha, no ofcourse not those types of ones!) and i hardly ever get any slowdown.

i suggest banning topcat first because he is their leader then get rid of ollie, rich and ed and any other gif loving hippies :fighting:

I enjoy seeing peoples signatures, and it really breaks up the replies very nicely. Plus its always nice to see when people change theirs! I don't really see what an animated gif of a woman being punched, or a guy smoking weed adds to the forum! OK, so some of them are funny, but I'd rather the topics load up quicker thanks!

and i agree chris because i actually think the sigs are really funny that puching one did entertain me for a good 2 minutes the othernight but then it just gets annoying that the page wont load. :fighting2:

Post by: bodger00 on June 24, 2010, 07:57:55 pm: Not sure who's it is but the animated signiture of a fella sneezing is reaaly bad and slows down the thread.
