avatars and Signatures?

I know I could choose not to have one, but Í can\'t choose NOT to see the other 384 images from other members.

In the thousand years this place has existed, I don\'t remember a single moment where we had picture signatures. Tradition.

i just don\'t want to see them 10 times in a thread

therefore, we will never have them

This makes no sense.  

1.  With every other forum I read that allows images in signatures, they always show the signature under a user\'s first post in the thread ONLY.  Subsequent posts have no signature.  Does this antiquated version of VBulletin not support that?

2.  Every other forum I read allows users to choose whether they want to view other users\' signatures.  The setting is a checkbox in the control panel.  Does this antiquated version of VBulletin not support that?

EDIT-  I just checked... INDEED IT DOES.  You can disable signatures NOW, complainers!

Is it really that big of a deal?  It\'s a friggen picture, it\'ll get old in all of a day.  There is no point in allowing it after all these years.

It\'s not a big deal, it just seems strange that so many people oppose the idea for no legitimate reason at all.  I can understand if you\'ve read other gaming forums where signatures and avatars were abused and became annoying...  However, my main alternate forum (s2ki.com) has always allowed images in signatures, and the vast majority are tasteful and creative.  If anyone abuses the priveledge, they are slapped down and the sig is edited by a mod.  Simple as that.

I dunno what everyone\'s so afraid of.

I have been to many forums that do allow them, and I hate them.  It makes the signatures too long, when really signatures are pretty pointless to begin with.  If you have something to say, say it in your post.  An image just leads to signatures expanding.  Any times the signature takes up more room or more time for that matter, than the post, something is wrong.  Besides, we already have avatars if you want a picture.

At the n64cc forums, regular members weren\'t even allowed to have avatars.  That was reserved for mods and admins only.  I personally liked it a lot better that way.

sig pics = lame

never gonna happen

thats only your opinion.Letting a small image in a sig isnt bad.Huge sig pics are lame

Jesus, you already have a pic under your name.

If you really want to have a picture under ever post you make, do it manually.

And sometimes I like reading peoples signatures. But it takes long enough for the forums to load for me as is.

I said small.Like...as big as your avatar.And I am using a 56k modem and never complain

thats only your opinion

yeah, the one that counts

you\'re lucky to even have a 100x100 avatar
would have been 50x50, but clyde had to have his 100x100 one
:rpissed:

You mean the one that is enforced.
Since Clyde doesnt post often why dont you make avatars to be 50x50
You ll make forum members happier.Bob for example would load faster the page

perhaps i\'ll just make yours 50x50
:smokin:

I mean pics in sigs are cool now. I have seen a lot of cool pics in sig large and small and it has never bothered me. I have BB of course. I mean but everyone should be trying to get off that 56kshit.

56k is played. BB is the new platinum. I mean this site is going nowhere. Why not try it out???????????????????????????????

Tell it to the mr dictator above you.I am using a 56k modem and I dont mind
