    Animated signatures?

    I thought these were not allowed.

    Fortunately, I've learned the ESC key is my friend.

    I haven't noticed any.

    I can't stand the people who have large pictures in them. If a signature needs a scroll bar, it shouldn't be allowed either.

    Re: Animated signatures?

    I agree on both. nothing worse than scrolling down a page and hitting an annoying scrolling sig.

    I agree on that as well, but I can't even understand why people want them. What's the good of posting a pic every single time you post, and people can't even see it without scrolling (which, after the first time MAYBE, no one will do).

    I was actually just about to start a thread here about pictures in sigs. Funny that custom avatars aren't allowed until you've been a member for 2 years, but you can put a 800x600 picture in your sig if you want to.

    They're a huge nuisance. Can we get rid of them?

    fredgmuggs is not a fan of signatures that need a scrollbar.

    You're lucky that yours doesn't scroll, even though it has the thingy on the side. Otherwise I'd have to put you on ignore

    Actually, I did see that animated sig that you mentioned. Not only is it animated, but it also has the scroll bars.

    Does it have the scrollbar on the side for you really? Doesn't on mine.

    I took the quote out of the quote box because it made my sig scroll, which I didn't want either.

    The scroll bar isn't there anymore. But even though it was there before, it really didn't scroll.

    No, don't kid, because you're right. My sig doesn't have a scroll bar at home but it does at work. My resolution's a little smaller here, but oh well.

    It has a scroll bar for me at work and home but I don't need to scroll to see it all.

    On my home computer, your sig is fine, but on my work computer it skews the entire screen.

    I thought we weren't allowed to have them, but I checked in FAQ and here and there, and I can't find where it says it.

    So I guess unless an admin tells you to take it down, you're allowed to have it.

    well..., if someone has troubles to enter threads because my signature causes problems..., I'll take it down..., but I didn't received any complaints..., and an admin didnt contact me either..., so if someone has problems just say something and I will take it down...

    This thread was created because of animated signatures. Isn't that people's way of telling you that it's annoying though?

    Massnyyfan and dragoon currently have the most annoying signatures.

    we should make a thread about them and get theirs reduced to text-only too.

    Improving my screen resolution won't remove your signature.

    the problem isn't the scroll bar, the problem is too many colors and too big of an image. it's distracting.

    We should now start a thread on how annoying burtons is and see if we can get him to self-remove himself. He's probably the most annoying person here, amiright?

    I don't mind the animated sigs, but the ones you need to scroll down are very annoying and IMHO should not be allowed.
