Hi Foz,
Although I'm sorry to say that I have no opinion on this matter, this issue doesn't effect me, I do feel that newer members with 56k connections may not know how to disable pictures or use a skin which is specially designed for slower connections. However, if this was added to the very useful Guild FAQ, how to change this very useful setting may be better acknowledged among those who are still getting to grips with the quite complex User Control Panel - it took me a short while to figure it out when I joined. Sadly though, not everybody takes the time to read it in it's entirety, so the feature's existence still may not be noticed. Guests, also with a 56k connection, may also suffer some problems with slightly larger signatures as they, most unfortunately, cannot modify their settings unless they register onto the site. I do, however, understand your perspective on the matter and I do hope that, eventually, a positive resolution, that is also a compromise, is agreed to.
