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

Are you allowed two sigs. Like a small ticker and my doggy?

May he has just had his summer trim, and why spoil the effect by any 'extras' which I do not believe are allowed anyway.

*hates tiny sigs :(*

[boo1843]

mee too, mine just looks stupid now!!

[**mary-the-fairy**]

Thanks Knitting.. I would rather have a sig I can see properly and I identify people with their sigs.

[**mary-the-fairy**]

Can yours Boo not be slightly bigger?

[dippybabe]

Ooooooh, I know how to make this all better........


Everyone go and buy a 50 inch telly and plug your keyboard into it....

Ta-da, everyone's siggy would be back to normal size!

Sorted 😉 :^O

[boo1843]

It was either the size it was or this size, wouldn't let me do any other size :-(

[*george_ous*]

Mary - I do the same. Don't read the posters name, just look at their sig :8}

[**mary-the-fairy**]

That's a shame Boo 😞

I do - I really associate some posters with their lovely sigs :)
