Too large signatures

Do you think signatures should have size restrictions?

  • Yes, It gets pretty annoying when I want to read a thread and it takes up half the page.

I would recommend that those who want to show a lot in their signature can put them in spoiler tags, making it easier for others to browse threads without sacrificing the things on your signature.
I was thinking almost the exact same thing. Also, when there are fairly large amounts of GIF's on one page, it can really slow down a computer.

I use my device simply due to the fact everytime I go on my computer to forum, all these adds pop up and they are really annoying. ;-;

I'd say a good 1.4k of my posts have been made on my device. :)

The most extreme part about it though, on school break/holidays I stay up till 4 am in the morning forumming, because it is the only time I get to interact with the other forummers. ;-;
Yeah, I used to have some really annoying ad-viruses on my computer, and all over Google Chrome, so I installed Adblocker. It's really helpful c:

o_o when I first got into foruming, there was a signature limit of half of the screen. Nowadays, I see people posting around the forums with signatures that take up two full screens that I have to scroll through.
:c
pls reinstate this rule.

The reason I really want a spoiler button or shortened signatures is because when I want to breeze through a thread to look at what people said, the signatures take up A LOT of the page. I don't mind a few pictures and stats, I'm talking about the people with HUGE pictures, or have lots of gifs. Especially the ones that go vertical rather than horizontal. I remember for awhile, some people put Gravey4rd 's leaderboard games stats when he went that period of never losing. THAT took up half a page per post. I like what KitMencha does for an example, he has three different pictures, but with spoiler buttons so that I don't have to see them every post. If everyone with large signatures had that, I think that would solve the entire issue.

I put a lot of my signature into spoilers, but the spoilers broke after a couple of weeks. Don't think I've fixed it yet.

Spoilers are great. For instance, as mentioned by Kame , my signature below.

When using Flexile Dark theme, spoilers automatically load as opened, so they still take up a ton of space.

Just tested that, yeah it's right but you can close them.

You can close them, but they are open by default.
