Default pictures and graphics in signatures

This comes up always on every forum. I think it's time to ban graphics and photos in signatures. These don't really add to the posts and are actually a bit distractive.

Links, quotes, etc are OK, but please no graphics.

any thoughts?

I agree and this ban comes as no surprise to me.

I think this is a wise idea..Some of the graphics on the bottom of posts have been pretty large. I have been having trouble loading some pages due to the size.

Uh well, guess I'll kiss my innocent starfish goodbye
You have to set some limits, it's understandable.

I agree with you marty! I got confused by the extra photo before too, until I noticed that it was a signature...

I agree. It is a reasonable thing, and will improve readability and performance of threads.

(Says she who doesn't have a signature at all... yet!)

I agree !!!!!!! it's one of the reasons I like this forum apart from the content - it's "clean" looking & easy to read !
thank you for keeping it this way

OK, images and smilies have now been disabled. Any images that ppl had in their signatures won't get parsed and will show up as a URL. Sorry to all that enjoyed these, but it's for the better
