Image linking with in signatures has now been disabled. This is because to many users are posting large dimensioned, big file sized photos in their signature. We've recieved a number of complaints from our modem users that it causes the message threads download time to take forever. There is no way I can regulate this, except to simply turn that option off. So, I did.

Quite frankly, posting photos in your signature isn't needed any ways. Simply post a listing in the User's Rides system and put a link to your listing and photos in your signature. See mine for an example.

My little smilie face in a mustang still works. Does the server go with size of the image in signitures?

It shouldn't. Try it again... I just reset the configuration. If it does, then its because you already had your signature saved with the img tag before I changed the configuration not to allow them.

Admittedly, your image in your signature is probably mostly harmless. But, several members (you know who you are

) have LARGE photos that are 50K+ in their signatures, and that's just plain ridiculous. Take a thread with several responses to it where just a couple members have pictures like that in their posts, and it's easy to see why it really annoys the members with modems, and not broad band.
