Signature Image Size

[Mod4]

Folks, as you know, some of our regular users have older hardware and limited memory. <br /><br />We ask that you keep your images relatively small. As a rule, please do not exceed 125 x 600 pixels and under 5k for a signature image or use the thumbnail version of the image if your host site allows it. This will ensure that the forums load quickly for all users.<br /><br />Thanking you in advance for your cooporation.<br /><br />Mod4

Re: Signature Image Size

Because iboats is not the host site for these images size changes must be made by the originator.

Re: Signature Image Size

I will check with our programmer to see if we can limit image size in signature only. This could be a solution. As long as we can still maintain the capability of posting boat, family or thread related pics their original size. <br /><br />Large images in a signature take up space every time you post and can make it an arduous task opening threads for our many dialup members.

Example:<br /><br />My in-the-sticks dial up takes about 5 minutes to load the "Little Red Truck update" thread.<br /><br />More than four minutes of that is loading multiple pictures of the mentioned truck and other big graphic signatures.

Re: Signature Image Size

not to mention it is annoying as heck to have to<br />scroll down an entire page just to read 10 lines<br />of actual posting.<br />should be very simple to set a limit on the server<br />for the sig.

Re: Signature Image Size

If your going to post something like that, keep it on for a couple days and take it off.<br />If anyone's going to see it they will by then.
