i totally 100% agree 100% kdm totally. it is also intensely annoying when trying to read a thread and it's all jumping about all over the place because different size pictures are appearing around the page as they load. people ought to show some god damn self restraint with the amount and size of pictures in signatures, i mean it's especially annoying when someone, like, for instance TANGERINE*, (who in a moment of extatic rapture at finding the <img> tag has clearly created this modern art masterpiece in his signature) then posts a fucking lot of times all in the same thread - resulting in the combined length of post and signature causing the page to be practically long enough to wear out one's mouse wheel and/or patience. i only post pictures once in a while, and only when they are 'piss your pants' funny, and even then i make sure it's not going to break any margins by a long shot or even so much as smell like having a large file size. it's just common courtesy. i hate having to play 'find the relevent text amongst the warholian collage' but i'm not that pissed off as i sound here, it's no big deal, it'd just be slightly better if i didn't have to see the same picture bombardment a hundred times per thread, or see some other pictures posted randomly that don't even make me laugh one little bit and could have not been posted in the first place and i'd enjoy the whole experience more. *no offence intended, i said 'for instance' which is like 'hypothetically' only a bit more bourgeois, but yeah, you were just already in this thread and happened to be dancing about wearing a hat with 'perfect example of this' written all on it. ain't no beef.
