It takes more time for those with slow internet connection to open pages since they must load everyone's signatures.

Also imagine what would happen if there where no limits, some would have really big sigs. Imagine having sigs 5-6 times bigger than the post in about half the posts, so much scrolling....

Until recenly I had a,as many still do,USB mobile broadband connection.
To get anywhere near real broadband speed,you have to be in a city with the infrastructure to support it.

Anywhere else is quite slow,and near impossible to use at certain times of the day.
To download any update patches,I often had to wait until well after midnight to have any hope of success.Even with a good download manager.

ComedianGR, you are missing two things:

1. you're mixing up filesize with image dimensions - you can have a small image with alot of kb (like uncompressed bmp), as well you can have very huge images with almost no filesize (like 2048x1200 pixels, all blank white with png compression). Of course there must be a limit to image dimensions! But not to filesize, since:

2. everyone, just like TTD, can turn off images within signatures.

There really is no point in limiting the filesize, as long as you declare uncompressed formats like bmp invalid and provided that the images are hosted elswhere and not on this server. Of course pngs should be maximum compressed, that's self-evident.

But let's not discuss too much about this. People will get edgy from off-topic :wink:

I didn't think there are such weird rules, when there are options to just disable the images once and for all, so I tried to help Freya Nocturne on the topic to get better quality. Just come close to your display, compare these and you'll know why I said so:

[ external image ][ external image ][ external image ][ external image ]
[ external image ]

But it's impossible to do so, as Freya stated correctly, because any png would exceed the allowed 50kb rule.

Does this mean a special platinum tag when this hits 100,000 views chobit? :D

Still wish we could have an addition sig section for the ID's.

it'll be a LONG time before it reaches 100,000. But I have a much better plan, a whole new set of IDs when X:Rebirth is released. It'll include a whole new layout and graphical design, plus (hopefully) stock images of each race for people whose characters are based on races like the Paranid or Boron, who don't have images available beyond the old X2 models.

I need to check here more often :wink: I made them using Photoshop Elements 7, although you can do the essential editing using simple Microsoft Paint. Some basic research of X-universe lore (which I'm sad to say is wrong and will be fixed with the X:Rebirth remake of this project), and use of some of the XTC mod crew's materials which were pulled from their wallpapers and manual (with permission of course)

I can easily piece on together for you if you provide me with a photo of your character, information on the card and your in-game ranks. Once complete I'll send you the codes that you'll need to post in your signature box in profile settings.

NOTE: I don't always do this so don't everyone rush to me with requests :P Maybe once the remake is ready I'll be able to help more actively.

:o :( :lol:

When you consider how many forum members there are, then I sort of agree with you.

Maybe you could , in the next version , have a template , which we can download and just add our details?

Not sure if that is what you have here , as I read this thread a long time ago.
