Does anyone find it annoying that people have HUGE sig's?

Does anyone find it annoying when the length of someone's signature is about a page long?

When I'm trying to scroll through a thread, I have to scroll through pages of sig's. There's probably an option to turn it off, but i like seeing all the colors and would not rather the bb be plain text. How bout a set standard for signatures....say:
from here_______________________









_______________________to here?

Most boards limit you to 2 or 3 lines. I would like to see that enforced here also as not EVERYONE has DSL!!!

You could list them horizontally rather than vertically.

Oh, don't stop there with the signatures, what about the Avatars, peoples grammer and spelling..........These topic have been discussed before and then re-discussed again.

Let's talk about something else.

Oy! Stop causing drama!

Do you realise which part of the forum i posted on?????????

Fortunately for YOU, avatars only allow a certain size and there's a spell check function already

I find it very annoying. Sean, you have a long one too.

I think mine is boarderline, and probably should be condensed.

I think mine is borderline too, but I keep the cars listed because when I have a technical question, people know what kind of car I have. I think quotes, especially those in different languages , are not really necessary, but that's not what's annoying. When someone lists every mod they've done to their car, or HUGE pictures where the sig take up an entire pagem that's what I'm talking about.

I guess I'll have to make my posts longer then! However, mine is MUCH shorter and more tollerable than most on here.

The size of the sigs don't really bother me (although some can be a bit of an eyesore) as much as having to scroll horizontally to read a post cause it's too BIG TO FIT ON THE BLOODLY SCREEN!!

I feel better now.
