ace225 Posted 4, August 2009 Report Share Posted 4, August 2009 With many of us now accessing the web via mobile devices, forum members' signatures which contain embedded pics/animated gifs continue to inhibit the speed a page loads... the pics may have seemed 'cool' or 'funny' at some point in time, but are they necessary?

Wolf Posted 4, August 2009 Report Share Posted 4, August 2009 Hmmm... i'm going to have to agree, as a now frequent visitor via phone-net. Admin team can decide etc, just putting in my 5cents. (inflation) Cheers, WOLF ps: some are pretty cool though, but practicality 1st i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFG Posted 4, August 2009 Report Share Posted 4, August 2009 1. I agree with large animated sigs. I'd rather see them gone, but: 2. All my browsers have the option to disable images*. Especially when you're paying for every kb, why not turn them off? * Of course if you're stuck with an iphone you can't use Opera, so you might not have this option, I dunno.

172-207 Posted 5, August 2009 Report Share Posted 5, August 2009 maybe reduce the size limit of the images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR PEA Posted 5, August 2009 Report Share Posted 5, August 2009 maybe have an option in the control panel to allow them to be turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace225 Posted 5, August 2009 Author Report Share Posted 5, August 2009 An option to switch off signatures would be cool, is it at all possible? I have both a blackberry (work) and iPhone (personal) and prefer to use the iphone for surfing the web, blackberry browser is way too slow...

griffyn Posted 5, August 2009 Report Share Posted 5, August 2009 maybe have an option in the control panel to allow them to be turned off? Already there. Display Images (yes/no) Display Flash Display Smilies Display Signatures Display Avatars If you're on a narrowband or expensive connection, try disabling images and signatures.
