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!)

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 ![Evil](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/evil.gif)
