    SIG SIZES ARE GROWING....please shrink them guys

    Hi Hexites

    I'm noticing a gentle, subtle and stealthy increase in the size of people's SIGNATURES on the forums.

    We have a fairly moderate request: Can you all please keep them to under 100 pixels high? That needs to include text, and I'm noticing people with 2 or even 3 PC's listed, in normal font size , with spaces....and it's all a bit much.

    Thanks for your help people

    Re: SIG SIZES ARE GROWING....please shrink them guys

    Fair comment, must admit even on a 1680x1050 screen I had begun to notice it, good shout Zak.

    Is 120pixels massively too big? [Edit - nvm, fixed]

    So I can have a blatent commercial pimp in my sig, and hexus doesn't mind?

    Thanks for the reminder Zak, they tend to gradually get bigger and bigger so I've shrunk mine right down. Remind me again this time next year as I'm sure it'll have grown once again.

    Re: SIG SIZES ARE GROWING....please shrink them guys

    there should be no commecial pimping in any signatures.

    links that go to personal non commecial homepages and blogs are fine.

    Otherwise please don't put them in, we will only remove them and get on your case over it.

    Thanks
