Forum:Signatures revisited

I made this forum to re-open discussion on a subject that was covered in this thread.

A while ago, I tried to make a new section on the AFD. I had to edit in source mode due to the page containing "complex code". After a while, I was forced to abandon it due to severe lag.

I'm almost positive that this was caused by the amount of custom sigs on the page, especially those with GIFs. If my connection, which is quite fast, was lagging that badly, what must it be like for people with slower connections?

I feel that we need t do something about custom sigs. If they are causing lag, they need to be dealt with PDQ. The way I see it, there are two options that might help:


 * 1) Remove custom sigs entirely.


 * 1) (Perhaps the preferable option) Put restrictions on signature images regarding GIFs or animated pics.

Please take my points into account and discuss this. Thanks. Sgt. S.S. 21:36, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
