is that just a glitch in the matrix and they will come back?

edit: must be a glitch in the matrix, the banners are whacked and all. nv

Never mind for real, this is what happens when drunk people decide to play with their settings and click show images from originating site only.

You're a drunken newb, but it's an interesting idea. I know I'm just as bad as anyone else when it comes to sig pics, but I think that, if we had some sort of sig rules, we could make the forums look a little more unified. I'm not talking about saying set a limit for the max sig pic size, but maybe say that all sigs need to be non-animated and the same exact size. Maybe allow one link under the sig that can't extend beyond the end of the image?

Yeah. It has a sort of gestappo feel to it, but I don't think it's that big of a deal and I know it would certainly make things look a bit tighter overall.

I think that could be reversed, there are some massive sigs now that take up the whole screen, mine is animated but very small and I don't think its intrusive at all and very low key. I think its just the large ones with 15 lines of mods under it also that well could be made a little smaller. I think keeping along the lines of 250 x 500 is a good idea for a max size. And yes brian, when its hot out and I drink I turn into a drunken newb who mess's with firefox settings and forgets about it :+

We have the largest sigs on any board I've ever seen.

I have a 20.1" LCD and their shit still takes up my entire screen.

I'm going to have a quick smoke, then I'm going to come in, resize my shit in Elements and do my part. :+ I just really like the idea of everyone on the site having the same sized sig pic. I think that would make a statement to people when they browsed the forums. :shrug

Done.

I complained about sig sizes the most and Ive always kept mine right around the size it is now, typically its 450 in length, 150 in height this particular sig is 12 pixels wider then normal, so you can take in all that is the crooked FMIC

I will say I like the size of driggs new one 400x 145 I think I might redo mine *again*

come on brian, we can start the revolution

you like this one instead? or should I just redo my current one in the new standard size?

Originally posted by Malenko

I like that one ^^^^^^ and to keep with the sig changing spirit and becoming more uniform mine has changed also.

I like that idea. :thumbsup Way to go Robert for jumping on the bandwagon. Anyone else feel like going to a 400x145 sig? I think this thread looks pretty good now.

In case you didn't click my links, the first is to my NDSMR profile on Daisy, the second to the az2gnt home page, and the third links to the factory service manuals like Dino has been doing all this time.

Not sure it'd be easy / possible to add code to force all sigs to one standard size. if we simply make a rule limiting sig sizes, no one will report them so it'll never be enforced.

well you have three volunteers in this thread,I have made my share of reports but they have gone unnoticed. I can count at least a dozen off the top of my head already I see daily.

I don't think anyone should have to write code to resize sigs. I think this is something that people would want to do themselves to improve their community. :shrug

Heh. I'd be willing to be a narc in this regard. I think the problem would be the amount of work involved by the moderators in the beginning to bring people around. There's a lot of sigs out there that are, in my opinion, unruly. It would take some time to accomplish.

Wouldn't this help the forum to move a little quicker? :wary

So what do you think guys? How bout just post a sticky thread titled

"MEMBERS THAT NEED TO CHANGE SIG SIZE"

and just a simple reply/running list of who needs to reduce their sig size, open to everyone to add a SN of the violator just a name and maybe there current sig size. heres and example:

1.eclipse982nrRST 640 X 432
2.Ikaika_420aN 640 X 480
3.eclipse_99rs 564 X 342
4.96eclipse2nr 432 X 291
5.BlackMagic 372 X 279 and also 372 X 279
6. Kirby 450 X 364
7. Gilee 8 640 X 301
8. RxR_Eclipse 576 X 384
9. InFiNiT3 18 lines of text
10. HadesOmega 450 x 267
11. djtrickee 175 x 175 + 484 x 200 :+
12. ECLiPSE56 435 X 300 + 435 x 300
13 HipHop615 575 X 239 + 13 lines of text
14. Nine5eclipse03 594 X 285
15. Sorry_i_Win 575 X 231

very simple and too the point and its nothing personal, your just trying to help with the smoother running and cleaner more professional feel like we know what we are talking about.

There is no way in hell there should be any drama because its easy to check if your compliant, doh. And considering that some folks might not have been on in awhile, before you post a name check there last visit date.But I'm sure we all have the same list growing in our heads.

I feel as an upstanding member there should be no reason to not conform to the sig size. (400x145 or less and without ten lines of mods)
I also will offer my sevices to resize those who may of had theres made for them and might not know how to do it.Which I'm sure brian and *thom* will also as there sitting around doing nothing also :+ . What do ya's think? It should help to police our own a little without the use of mod muscle.

Ive got no problem helping members with sig sizes if need be.

my sig isnt that big is it?

i got another copy that i use for my local board that is way small, maybe i will throw it up here. actually, i need to take a new one since both the cars look different now. ;-)

I've just PM'd people in the past and they've been fixed in a timely manner. Thanks guys, you know who you are. ;)
I've been slacking lately though due to being slammed with work 10+ hrs/day...

I'm fucking sick of huge-ass sigs, and it makes some threads unbearable to read. I'll start sending PM's to members with sig images that are excessively large, and ask them to re-size immediately.

Rock on. Nothing like having to scroll to the right to read the acutal posts...

I probably have the smallest sig on here since I'm used to being on sites that only allow a max of 250x250

I do think some people have outrageously huge sigs on here that have nothing to do with DSM's

Cool deal. Sounds like a good plan. My car's currently in progress so when it's finished, I'll have my conformed sig up.

Edit: WTH, my current one's only one pixel off! I'm sweet.

...

...

Seriously.

Does my sig work? :P

mine like 397 x 185 and i tried to resize it to 400x140 and it looks goofy. The size just isn't close to the same proportions as the original so it distorts it quite a bit. I don't know if I have the original pic anymore if someone else thinks that the extra 45 is a big deal and wants to take a stab at resizing or making a new one for me.

^^ i was talking about my normal pic.. this is just temporary. haha ya i just spaced about what sig i have, yes i caught myself before YOU did.

No shit? really? Who would have ever figured that one out. :rolleyes

I made mine smaller even though I wasn't on the list.

I agree that you shouldn't have huge pictures and lines of text stating every single mod that you have....

good. that makes up for the file size of your avatar. :P Which is pretty cool I might add. :thumbsup

I have 13 lines of text?

Depends on how you count it. Looks like 10 at the moment. When you think about how your sig is ten times longer than your post, it kinda makes you think...

Exactly right, I counted the spaces(blank lines) between the text also. Not that it really matters, I think only a very small handfull have changed them.

Then only those of us who give a shit about the site will change our sigs. Maybe we ought to link this thread in our sigs as well? :shrug

Dude. Your car looks downright fucking evil. I bet you make little kids on the playground cry. Talk about something wicked this way comes...

Nightshades the bumper lights and blackout your chromie headlights and that thing will be the epitome of sinister on this forum.
