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

Guess somewhere along the line I have lost my sense of humour because I cant find this funny at all!

[razz*ma*tazz]

Yeh right so that would make you a ****** too :^O

[felines*whiskers]

I would rather be ignorant than find this amusing keeper.

[felines*whiskers]

Have no idea flippin.

[felines*whiskers]

I dont think so. An FHG poster wouldnt deliberately set out to wreck a pinks thread.

Oh tea time, c u later xxx

[mi*shell]

Can someone please make me a smalller one?

[felines*whiskers]

can you resize in PB shell ?

[very*scary*absinthe*fairy]

it will distort if she makes it any smaller, fe

shell - ask one of the sig ladies (missy, loon3y etc.) if they will make you a shiny new 'legal' one

:^O possibly the worst statement I made this year !grumpy-ole-troll but hey I aint perfect:^O

[very*scary*absinthe*fairy]

... I didn't like to mention it fe

[felines*whiskers]

LOL I just didnt like the sig. So I said so. I have a good sense of humour and I enjoy a laugh but that did nothing for me.
The Pole stays were thats concerned;-)

Just a thought and I dont have them very often

We cant have sigs that are over a certain size etc

But some of the pics on the photo thread are huge

Wanders off into own little world

:_|I lurves my motorbike which Loony kindly made for me.Please help me make it smaller and help me park it. Im thick when it comes to things like this!

[wotdoiknow]

I see the pink hasn't returned X-(

I haven't got a sig but thats for no other reason than i'm not clever enough to make one:_| I like to see the sigs.

Other than ad's for sales and attempts to hide links in text. which has gone straight over my head so they are either not working or I've not seen any, I can't see any other reason for this? So please James do feel free to return and explain it to a numpty why moving and sig size is a problem.

Sadly where was the Pinks when all those vile photos were being posted? Perhaps a pinks reasurance that it was being dealt with might have been more appropriate that an huge post about some harmless animations - imo.

😞 RIP Waspy can someone freezer for me please:-(:-(

[boo1843]

Great post wotdoIknow

[very*scary*absinthe*fairy]

#264 merly

the thing with sigs is that they are posted and reposted every time you post on here, the pics on the photo thread are only posted once

*thinks I used the word post too many times there*

[*merly*]

Agrees with Wot

Wonder if James will answer the question about those pics?
