    borhan9,

    To be technical you have six too many lines of text and the gif is 44 pixels too tall to be used in conjunction with text :)

    You all can check the size of your gif by right clicking it then selecting "Properties" which will list the pixel dimensions of your gif ;)

    I usually browse AD with images off since it noticeably speeds the page loads even on broadband since many of the images are linked on other sites instead of hosted locally.

    What I would like to see is a user preferences section under your account where you could turn off the sig images. I find 99% serve no useful purpose and it's kind of annoying to see the same picture over and over following a thread. I don't want to turn off images for the entire site since there is sometimes screen shots or a useful picture in the body of the post so it would be nice to have a preference you could set.

    Of course with Opera, I can just turn off all images with a single click anyway since I added the Show Images icon to my toolbar, or with just 2 clicks using the defaults.

    Entertainment value aside, I reckon none of the images serve any use at all..

    Not entirely true. Alot of users maintain the same sig for an extended amount of time, so it's rather quick and easy to note who made a post without looking over in the left column. When I read through a thread, I generally pay no attention to the column where the user names are listed unless I need to for directing a comment to someone. So as I read through the thread, sigs tell me who's who.

    I see where you are coming from, zippyd, I just mean the actual image itself is just a tag. It is great that most people have an image beacuse as you say, it is easier to notice people, but the contents of the image are just for show...

    I sometimes use mine as a profile for anyone who is totally bored. If that's out of bounds I'll be glad to change it.

    Thanks Lethal, that's good to know. It's cool to know that it even works because I wasn't really sure that anyone else but me could see it. [bold]BTW, the Lethal_B sig has always ROCKED![/bold]
