Signature files and Animated Gifs

[james_uk@ebay.com]

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

[felines*whiskers]

well I havent received an email saying mine is too big. Would be grateful if someone can verify if its ok in size before I change it.
Have to say though surely the bigger concern on this board is the constant unwarrented slaps and bping ??

James no disrespect this conversation has been discussed before but with no resolution. If reading this thread would you care to comment but what if anything is being done to change the way posts get removed for no valid reason other than a bper who is on a vendetta ?

[crystal*ball*]

[boo1843]

They're not emailing people (see james post) yours is
119 x 63 should be 220 x 50 or smaller i think.

[felines*whiskers]

Thank you crystal I just feel the sigs do no harm yet that is being dealt with asap and yet despite constant questions about annoymous bpers and threads/posts being removed for no good reason, never get dealt with and pushed to one side.

I was referring to the bit that says This is no longer an option as it is taking up too much time due to the number of people needing to be contacted.

119 X 63 is 7,497 pixels, well within the maximum size.
