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

i've done more scrolling on your post than for any other-for the simple reason.....it don't make sense!

[***rodi***]

[*george_ous*]

I think this sig is about the right size - just need Foxy to help me remove the PB link.

Is mine too big? It doesn't move though :-D

[*george_ous*]

Drat - last one was too big - trying another....

[freaky*fairy]

OMG

Dont even know how to remove mine!

[mandiandbenjy]

oh yeah and if you decide to slap me for my sig, then watch out......cause i slap back X-(

[boo1843]

Reading the post again I think it's more aimed at people who have 2 or 3 things ie a pregnancy ticker plus a moving sig pic plus wording......but what do I know!!

[snoozin*]

I dont wanna remove mine 😞 Infact am gonna rebel :-)

[*george_ous*]

They need to be no more the 50 x 220 pixels - mine with the stare over the specs is 50 x 200 so legal size.

RIP all of Looneys fab sigs - they make FHG sparkle

[***rodi***]
