Signature Files and Animated Gifs

Good Morning,

I am afraid to say that we have arrived at a post I had hoped I would not have to make 😞 I will be posting this message across most of the main boards throughout the day.

The size of Signature Files in posts is starting to get a little too out of hand. Lately the size has been creeping up and in some cases there are two or three different things in sig files pushing out the size of posts. In addition the use of animated gifs has been creeping back in along with ad's for sales and attempts to hide links in text.

For the most part I've tried to be as flexible as possible, overlooking the ones that are a little bigger than the recommendations. When they have been too large I've contacted members directly to ask them to resize them, and members have been happy to comply. This is no longer an option as it is taking up too much time due to the number of people needing to be contacted.

Were these reported Liveworld will act on them, and I don't want to see anyone getting a warning over something easily avoided.

At this point I would like to remind everyone about the signature guidelines, which you can find here: http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=400055459&tstart=0

I hope we can work within these guidelines and bring the threads back to a point where posts are easy to read without too much scrolling.

I appreciate your help on this.

James

Dear James,

Enough of this nonsense. I know it's all just a ruse, 'cos you want my babies, so out with it.

A candlelit dinner and some red wine would be nice, as would an Ebay branded engagement ring in varying precious jewels (and yes, I know I am technically already married but heck...we all have some baggage, don't we)? Don't hold it against me-well, you can if you'd like to but not on the first date. :8}

Love, Kitty xxx

p.s. My sig should be all sorted now, I hope.

The top bit of it, Kel (the first bit betweens the "<" and ">"). I was experiMENTAL and thought that that bit looked a bit needless HTMLwise, so 'lost it' to see and it worked, so yay! :-)

What a joke James 😐

There is more going on within these boards than the size of sigs but dont read you making a song and dance about them 😞

Dont get me wrong some sigs do my head in and I cant stand tickers about when posters last let one off/picked their nose/had a bath/cut their toenails but to post and pin a thread about them when there are more serious things going on is a waste of your time and ours :|:-(

P.S I am a poster, therefore I am B-)

Oh forgot to put I would rather read posts with sizes out of eBays sizing guidelines and scroll past them than trolls posting about what I am/what they think I am, what my mother is/was, my address and real name or how ugly my child looks 😐
