New rules about signatures to be put into place
So I was browsing the forum and I noticed some immense lag scrolling through some of the topics. The culprit? The tons of gif images everyone seems to be using in their sigs. (more specifically, ryu's combined sig size of 11.5 megabytes)
I can't expect everyone to have a beefy PC, so I need to make some rules so that the average taverner can browse the forum without dealing with lag spikes from epic signatures.
Sadly, I can't really automate this sort of thing, so I need to trust that those who have signatures will follow the rules.
Only 2 rules for now, and very straightforward. Here they are:
1. Image dimensions
The combined width of images on a single line should not exceed 800 pixels.
The combined height of images within your signature (whether on a single line or multiple lines) should not exceed 400 pixels.
I think even that is a bit too big, but I'll give you guys some leeway for now.
2. File Size
The combined filesize of images in your signature should not exceed 5 megabytes.
Again, this is still pretty big, but we'll see how things go.
These rules can and probably will be modified with or without notice.
If your signature is mysteriously edited/deleted at some point, it's probably because it went against one or both of the rules.
Edit: Although currently I've disabled all signatures to look into the matter.

Re: New rules about signatures to be put into place
I didn't mean to single you out, ryu, but yours was without a doubt the most process-expensive signature. It was only a matter of time before someone said something.
Fact is, these rules should have been put into place from the beginning, so I don't want you thinking I'm blaming you or anything like that.

Compressing my GIFs as we speak, happy to do it for anyone else who is worried about them being too big.
