    Beyond this, I don't care much for my own sake. I've got a pretty fast connection so I'm unlikely to feel any hurt from this, though I don't know just how many kb is to be considered "much" (or indeed how much we have now). Still, I need no more than this anyway.

    It's 10 kb for images in the normal signature and ??? for the extra one. I don't think we did put a cap on the extra one really.

    As long as signatures don't interfere with reading, I don't see any problem with them...

    I am referring to handhelds (I-Phone and all the other smartphones), the resolutions available are too small so that large signatures become really annoying. Same goes probably for Netbooks.
    As longs as the on screen size stays and doesn't get out of hand I see no problem by increasing the size.

    I'd say put the filesize up to 50kb, but leave the dimension restrictions in place.

    I'd said 80 Kb limit will be good... but give some dimension restriction (not more than 1000 x 400 pixels, or somewhat)

    For those unaware, current sig rules:

    Pictures
    Pictures in signatures are not the occasional used pictures to illustrate something, but show up in every topic. It's already possible that one page contains 25 different 4.5 kb avatars. Users with slow modems will experience serious trouble when loading pages with many (larger) graphics.
    Pictures are limited and the limits applies to all images together in the signature:
    -10,240 bytes max.
    -no sound.
    -max 500 pixels wide, max 150 pixels high.

    This doesn't apply to occasionaly used pictures in posts, though one should keep in mind that 56k modem users should be able to download it within a reasonable time.
    Scrolling topics containing high signatures is considered difficult, so they are limited there too. A signature can be 10 lines high, 500 characters long, 200 pixels high or what limit is reached first.


    Obviously 56k isnt such a big deal anymore, but having big pictures in the sig is still annoying.

    The current max size, if you can't visualise it, is this:



    IMO, plenty big enough. Just up the file size limit, and we are fine.
