I know a topic about animated sigs has been posted before. Im on a slow 56k modem, and I find it sometimes very difficult to even browse the forums. I know sigs are graphically advancing and look good, but some are big file sizes, especially the animated ones. It takes atleast 3 minutes for some topic pages to completely load because of all the images. And when I try to scroll down the page, the scroll bar lags like hell. I try to keep my sigs small and simple. And I'd appreciate if others did the same. Because for me the LPA takes forever to finish loading. Thanks.
Agreed. But it depends on the system you have. I made a thread about this a few months ago when I noticed the overwhelming amount of animated images people were using. If you don't have the fastest PC in the world, it's not going to go fast, simple as that. I mean, I have cable and it lags. It would be much appreciated if animated sigs could be limited, but it's up to those who own the sigs.
If you are finding it very annoying waiting for some to load try this: Go to My Controls > Board Settings and then there will be an option to turn off the viewing of other people's signitures in their posts. You can also turn off the viewing of smilies, and avatars which may also speed up the loading process a little. -Bryan
