Personally, I kinda wish they'd shrink the limits a bit since I find most sigs to be incredibly obnoxious, even when they're within the limits. One line of text in a reply and then a maxed out pic (or worse, animated ones) is NOT conducive to a good browsing environment, if you ask me. But then, that's why I have sigs turned off. It means I miss out on some of the cooler (and more reasonable) ones, but it's a small price to pay to be able to read a thread without constant interruptions.

The sigs are too big.
I've been a lurker for years and recently acquired a username.
I'd have started posting here long ago if it weren't for the fact that its so damn hard to differentiate between sigs and posts.
I'm sure all of you are quite used to deciphering posts but, I guess I just wish that I didn't have to go through Gateworld thread deciphering 101 just so I could read posts in the forum.

What can you do....folks have the ability to have a sig or not. Folks have the ability to view sigs or not. I for one try hard not to break sig rules, and really don't like the idea of having the rules changed to accommodate folks who have slower connections, but want to hold on to the ability to view sigs.

Dial-up is a problem on GW even BB can be a slow load in the Thunks, maybe we need a thread option? Turn sigs off in this thread but not ALL threads, no idea if that could be done, sounds tricky to me.
When I was first here I turned pretty much ever image off because it took me 5 mins to open even text threads.
Reporting sigs that are too big is still the best way to get the forum pages to load better, I still encounter way too many sigs (including text sigs) that are in violation, so you know what I do. *well it's your own fault*

I've only ever reported one sig but that was because it was nearly 1mb in size lol, its a pity because it was a pretty cool sig.
I still think scrolling through them is usually the worst thing so changing the size in height to 150 pixels max would be a bit better.
Also its the over use of them, i usually leave mine on every time i post but perhaps it could be enforced to only allow sigs to be use once or twice on each page of a thread?

which is part and parcel of why the thread is a thunk thread, ya gotta have something to thunk over, but it's why me, as a poster, avoids the thunk threads. If there's something that needs to be modded, i'll certainly take care of it, but if i'm looking to kill time, i won't choose a thunk thread to look over
