I know we have a bunch of new people since we discussed the above topic (welcome again all of you - it's great that we have so many cat lovers joining all the time). So here's a reminder.
Many of the members and guests who visit these pages use a dial-up connection. Therefore we have decided (based on a discussion among the members of the board here), that the images in signatures should not exceed file size of 12KB (total for all images if you have more than one).
To check how large the image in your signature is - right-click on the image and choose properties. It will show you the file size in bytes and you can divide that in 1000 to know how many KB your image takes.
Also, please be mindful of the total length of your signature - text and images. Remember that people see your signature multiple times (assuming you post a lot, as most of you do
) and it can get annoying to scroll through inches and inches of signatures.
And a reminder: if you find either signatures, avatars or attached files are slowing you down or annoying you for any other reason - you can switch off any or all of them through the control panel. Simply click where it says usercp or options at the top of the page and go to "Edit Option".
I still ask you to please keep your signatures short and the images in the smaller than 12KB, so we can all surf with signatures turned on and enjoy the messages in them.
Thank you!
