Is sig. too big with pic yes/no

Looks good. I think people really just care about the sigs that have a life story, or song lyrics complete with EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of the chorus :rolleyes:

I've seen worse. A LOT worse.

Mr 5 0 08-01-2002 02:38 PM

Yes!
 
Yes.

The Users Rides section is intended for car photos, not the signature area. The whole signature thing has been abused by some members. It was simply meant to give a very brief description of your car, not list every mod ever done to it . Adding photos just adds to the misuse of what was supposed to be a line or two at the bottom of your post with a link to your User Ride entry where you can list anything you have and show photos and even video of your car.

It would be appreciated if our members would do that.

I realize that you are the forum administrator, and I don't really have any authority in here since I'm still new, so my opinions are a little less noticed, but I honestly enjoy seeing pictures in the signatures. I like matching cars with users in the posts. The user's ride area is meant for this, you are right; but I see no harm in wanting to show off your car in every post. I think abuse would be a photo album, not a candid shot.

We mostly agree, but its always been the "rule" to keep it to a minimum............

jj_jonathon 08-01-2002 02:58 PM

Maybe we should hold a poll to find out if people mind full size pictures in sigs....because none of us can really talk for the majority...

I think that's a great idea...where's the thread? ;)

The Deuce 08-01-2002 03:53 PM

I don't mind it here at work, but I've got dial up at home. Sometimes I don't even get to see the smilies. Throw it in you Avatar. That's where my pic is going, when I get a good one.

Dark_5.0 08-01-2002 04:01 PM

There I sized it way down. Surely that pic is OK.

Mustangbelle306 08-01-2002 04:01 PM

I think the concern is mostly the space it takes up on the thread...I think a signature MY size (see below :D) is good...could be a little shorter, I edit it every week or so ;)

But when you start adding a big picture, plus text, or just tons of text, then its not only long, but WAY too busy. I don't mind when people list mods and stuff, they worked for it, go ahead and post it! But when its a BIG *** paragraph with future mods, picture of their dog, etc etc....I kinda get pissy. I'm sure some will agree/disagree, you really should post a poll if you wanna know for sure :)

jj_jonathon 08-01-2002 04:05 PM

i did say that i thought a photo album was a bit much, but showing off your ride i think can be understandable...dark made it perfect i think....honestly putting your car in as an avatar (like mine) makes it so hard to look at and admire...i also filled in the user's rides, but i doubt many people have viewed it.. :\

jj_jonathon 08-01-2002 04:06 PM

dark : did you size it down twice? cuz if you did i liked the middle one :)

i've looked @ quite a few of the "user's rides". But, if you put a link in your sig to yours, I'm sure more people would check yours out. :)

Dark_5.0 08-01-2002 05:17 PM

I know this thread is pointless and I tried to erase it but the damn thing wont let me.:mad:

Hammer 08-01-2002 05:24 PM

Dark, IMHO The picture is a much better size in it's current, smaller state.

Mustangbelle306 08-01-2002 05:38 PM

Is there someone that actually cares? I'm sure every thread on this board is "pointless" in someone's eyes. Just leave it...it actually spurned a valid topic.
