Does anyone else think these are getting out of control?

Some of these things are 300, 400, 500 pixels high!

Look at the screen cap below.
Names and text blacked out and signatures covered.
Seriously a full screen and there's one line of text and the rest is signatures...

It's not just banners either. There are signatures getting around that have 10+ lines of text.

Avatar sizes are limited how about a max height of say 100 pixels for sigs?

I can see what you mean. One person on here likes to put a large picture of some part of his car under every post. Nice for him, but it's not related to the post generally, so it's just a distraction.

Well, I don't wanna be causing any anger or pissing anyone off. So plz, if anyone has a problem with my signature size, just tell me and I will see what i can do.

But I know that there are some that are worse than mine in here.

I just measured mine. My signature is 162 pixels from (- - - - -) line to (_____________) line. NOTE: 162 is note the picture size, therefore the pic height is smaller than 162.

150 pixels is a good size. Some banners are good and if they have a link that is useful even better.

Some are just plain clutter.

I have been thinking this for a while. They got rid of these on a Uk site. (Vzi) allowed only text. made a difference.

Probably not going to be popular to say it but if you save the thread, which I do quite often, and looked at what is saved it is mainly the pictures in the sign that add up.

my internet is always slow so any savings are worth while

just my 2 cents worth

i don't mind images, like for businesses and stuff like that, as long as it doesn't take forever to load. a limit of 125-150pixels sounds good.

Personally I think having text only is boring.

Limiting the sig pics to a decent height should have been put back again.

From one extreme to the other. Find a decent middle ground and everyones happy.

Nothing wrong with pics in the sig, as long as they dont take up half a page!

hmm im not really partial however i think a limit on size would have been a bit better.

mine wasnt very big. about 90 pixels high or there abouts and it linked to my website.

i dont mind things like that as the picture can catch your eye and u can have a geeze at the users personal site. i dont really think it was great having 2 or 3 big pictures and 10 lines of text underneath.
