The other way of course, is to add the offending users photobucket account to your blocklist, just 1 right click in firefox!

down side is obviously if they ever decide to post a useful picture

Limit size of pics by all means - note not all members use photobucket!! There are other ways!

Signatures, (and avatars), esp of the animated kind are a real bugbear to many users....

I use firefox as a browser, and a little add on called Ad-block plus

http://adblockplus.org/en/

With this you can right click on any image, and block it, then it is never displayed again   :y

It takes a bit of setting up in that you will spend a lot of time blocking on your 1st day using it, after that there aren't normally many more items to block.

You can also subscribe to one of its lists (intented usage) and it removes ad banners from many websites.

I have done this because I generally browse this site using remote control software from work to home, and this Massively speeds up the browsing process   :y


Anyone who wants to pm me your email, I will send you my filter list, save you a bit of work.

Having realised that they cause bandwidth problems/annoyance for some users and not wishing to cause offence: I have now removed my [size=8](Facebook)[/size] signature image.  ;)

Limiting the sizes of pictures is really good idea..

But in my opinion even they are small they make the forum more

colorful and reflecting the members personality..

if we ban them I think the structure will look like an official paper..

I agree!  Static pics / small animations help to give each members contribution character and personalize them to others. :y :y

Large animated pics should be discontinued however ;)

If we try to keep images to avatars (and keep these below 100k), and if we have to have images in sigs, keep them small (dimensions and filesize). Some of the ones we have now distract from the subject matter of the thread imho
