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

All images found in a signature may not exceed a total area of 50 pixels by 220 pixels
Seems just about every sig will be breaking this rule.

To check if your sig is to big just right click on your sig and click on properties, it will show you the size of your sig in pixels on that :(

For heavens sake James

How about sorting out the nastiness and the trolls and the revenge bpers instead of picking on the sigs that brighten the boards.

Have you really got nothing better to do?

no they will just remove them for sigs instead talk about giving the bpers a free run.
