Do we need eye-candy skins ?

[LeftEyeNine]

By saying "eye-candy", I refer to the removal/broadening of limitation on attributes of sigs and extra pictures :

Only enabled in style Experimental at this moment to show the idea.

Go to userCP edit Options and enable Broadband user, you can enter an extra signature picture in UserCP/edit Profile if you haven't already done so. Then Select the Experimental skin and look at the board again. Not everyone has the extra picture enabled yet, so you may have to browse to one of your own posts. You'll see a signature and below that your extra picture, extended signature (for now).

I said no limits, but keep it reasonable, no jokes with multi megabyte pictures.


It will be enabled (option) in other skins, when users think it's good to have and when you have worked out among yourselves what the limits should be, filesize and picturedimensions. Please start a new topic in the Watchtower about it.

"Yes" is not enough if you do so, please make your suggestions on the broadened filesize and picture dimensions - keeping in mind that we'd not like to load half-page size sigs over and over again that would disrupt the focus and lessen the understandibility of what is posted actually.

I, personally vote for "yes". And my suggestion will be particularly on the sig limits. I'd like 50-60 kbs of sig filesize limits and a sig area of 300 pixels height restricted to a width of 700 pixels max.

What about you ?
