Link Link Links.....I stuck with a banner.    I think you could make two banners with two different links to it. Try it out.

On your forum profile page, click "display". Uncheck "display images in signatures" and click "submit".

Now all signature images will be replaced with <image>

Awesome!  I'm doing it now!

A while ago I was one of the people that wanted images in signatures. I think that people are using this feature to the extreme, with huge images and animated images. I turned images off a while ago, but think you should make it so images CAN still be put in signatures, for the people that want them. Maybe you could 'tame' images, and control that images no larger than a specific size get put in...?

That's a good idea... some people even have three animated images in their signature, which I find annoying because the flashyness annoying when you're trying to concentrate.

Thank you very, very much, JSO.  This setting has made my life so much more enjoyable and my forum reviews so much faster!

I changed my signature again, but I made sure there were no pictures. It is one simple line of test. I think that there should be pictures, but there should be a size limit. I also think that if they are animated, they should not be allowed at all. My signature now reads: All your base are belong to us

I think choice #1 is the best.  For alot of people with older machines it can really slow them down, so they avoid the forums.

Even I feel the pictures (includes flashy,animated and bright) distracting when I am reading a post . It keeps flashing with bright colours which harms the eye  and also distracts people.So, I belive that the signature should be limited to simple, good, funny, cool or informative text with smileys.

I changed my signiture to a few words and  my avatar to a picture of a Shoop Da Whoop toilet to help XD

I definitely support Dick Baldwin's suggestion to include avatar images in the forums as a way to make it easier to track a discussion.  I also agree that allowing an image free-for-all creates a lot of visual pollution.  However, I have seen sites that have badges or bling that people can select from an approved pool.  I think this could be valuable as a tool for helping like-minded Scratchers connect.  For example, there could be a badge for people who focus on scrolling games and another for people who prefer animation or abstract games.  These badges could also be a way to claim affiliation and show pride in membership of a certain group, like a school club or virtual studio.

I agree, that is a good idea!

Aaah,  image free signatures.  Thanks JSO;  now there's a lot less scrolling going on for me in the forums.
