I'm not a big fan of having a bunch of pics all over the place. Aren't avatars enough? It adds to much junk to a thread and if banners start going up for vendors it would start to get irritating in my opinion. And wouldn't it make pop ups worse?
my 2 cents

Pictures in sigs can get annoying as it takes away from thread content and may be very off topic. We already have some members with huge sigs and thats just text! So if we add to it and we can see that someone did an ISR, and their mud-flap mod, the synthetic oil mod, and have an aftermarket shifter knob, and then a few babbling quotes...plus a picture.?/?
Maybe if there was some way to allocate X amount of lines, whether it be text, or image, or even both...but not exceeding a reasonable number of lines. |

Nah...
I have DSL at the house and even then navigating a pic heavy thread takes long enough. Dial up might become a nightmare this way. Adding more pics to the signature might slow things down a lot. Also, a pic heavy thread gets confusing enough, no need to clutter it up any more.

I think it looks good and can add to the persons sig, however I have a couple concerns.
There are people that tend to make comments about other members sigs in the most random threads. It can be a random thread about brownies vs cookies and somebody will post up, "Hey dude, that's a sweet truck in your sig...how much lift you got?" Also, as stated before, the overall size of the sig can become a nuisance. At first, it can become cluttering and make it hard to navigate but I have gotten used to it on some other forums. Oddly, I think the black background that is offered here helps a lot. Fink

Yes, I really use to not like them.
But after seeing them and using them (same pic I have now) over on the FJ site I use, I have gotten use to it, and it does not phase me one bit when reading threads. But that is what we are here for, to get feedback on this. And some are still on dialup? I thought most were out of the dark ages by now

I don't think catering to Dial-Up is very relevant this day and age. You have to market to the masses...the masses are on high speed.

I personally don't like the sig line pics. It makes the threads slower to load and more cumbersome to read. I frequent sites that allow them and I really don't like them.
Please don't allow them.

I agree with the rest. I think it will just make more clutter and leave open for off topic questions like Fink said.

I'm against it for a few reasons.
1. looks tacky. 2. that whats threads and posts are for. 3. moderating them would be another hassle. 4. build-up threads start looking like crap. 5. other threads lose value and easily get off topic and also start looking like crap. 6. makes it harder sifting/reading through any thread. 7. they become clutter and distracting. 8. thats what avatars are for. 9. having links + text in sigs is more than enough. 10. sig pics should have never been thought of.

My bias is towards pictureless sig lines as well... but maybe I am a bit boring.
I concur with others, no pics gives a cleaner look, easier to scroll through board.

I'm not sure how many people do this, but I tend to check YT from my phone when I'm not going to be around my computer for a while. Sig pics would take way too long to load and make it slower in general to visit YT

That is a very good point.
Many here surf from their phones from what I have been informed.

I agree with those points. Of course it's subjective as to what's tacky or not but still.

If my opinion matters, im going to side with the folks who disagree!
For most of the above reasons, mostly, i feel it would make it unorganized. Instead of pics in the sig line, everybody could put a link to like a photobucket account to show off their rig more... Just a thought!

Pics.....meh thats what the avatars are for.
But for those of you cracking on sig line quotes and other jibba jabba....those without unique sig lines tend to get lost in the mix. I frequently miss text lines from people who don't have a few lines of sig material. Godzilla: You're posts are a perfect example of this. You have no sig line. Nothing wrong with it, its your personal choice. But, i tend to miss the things you post since there is nothing to stop and grab my attention that a new post is made between yours and other peoples posts. Again, nothing wrong with it, its your profile, but just letting you know how it is for me. Is everyone like me? Naw, im sure not. Again, its a persons preference how much sig line material to put in there, and it is limited to 500 characters right now. A pic in the sig line however tends to be too distracting. Make sense?

FWIW, people should have the common sense to take questions and comments about avatars and sig line info to PM's. However, even I have been guilty of posting in a thread about someones avatar. IMHO, if you post a quick blurb and be done with it, taking any further comments to PM's, everything will continue to roll smoothly.

i like them, but there should be some regulations on them. ive noticed that when someone posts up pictures here in a thread, they can have it as big as they want it. (ive tried, ive posted a picture that was like 1280x1024 or some crazy thing like that i made in photoshop). now if there was a LIMIT, like if you go beyond, lets say, maybe twice the size of the avatar, the code in the site wouldnt allow it. then that would be awesome. but if it takes up the whole page? no.
