There's been a surge in image sigs since the forum upgrade. For the new members who've only joined recently, you need to know that these are frowned upon, and will be disallowed eventually again. For those of you who've been here while, you should know better. So can we do a little bit of self-regulation and stick to the old rules unil the admins can get around to reimplementing the old controls?

[Shade]

I believe certain admins have also threatened to do horrible things indeed to those experienced members who know the rules yet choose to flaunt them during this window of opportunity. So, use those sigs at your own risk.

I'll quote karajorma on that one:

Yeah, those members are on karas watchlist, for this crime. 

It appears that some people are using a server that is blocked in China for image sigs. The result is that I can't see them.

If the sigs bother you though just report the user and anvils will drop on them from a great height.

Enjoy your sigs folks, they wont last long.

The guidelines don't say anything about sig pics.

Seriously, removing those pics would show some common sense.

[Snail]

I actually haven't seen any...

[Satellight]

Hem... Personnaly, I think that customized (and unreadable) fonts are more disturbing 

[Goober5000]

Okay, I've disabled the [img] and [lvlshot] tags in signatures.  It should no longer be possible to include images.

[Topgun]

Unreadable fonts are worse.

[Goober5000]

Patience.

[Angelus]

Neg, they are still visible on some users.

[Mobius]

Ok, I'm done with colors. I'll use them only at the beginning of my release threads*, if there will ever be any.

*and my signature, of course.

Images in signatures?  If so, provide a link.

that's the first post of yours I've been able to read in forever

For the same reason the guidelines don't say anything about reaching through the wires to slap people who say something stupid.

Until recently image sigs were turned off. Now they are allowed by the theme but not by the admins. Consider this the final warning I'm giving on the subject.

[Belisarius]

Just one thing I'd like to mention is that the signature images aren't allowed, because they'd sidetrack you from the postings, but large signature, in height, also sidetrack imensely. So this nice scrollbar feature for the sig would help to solve that problem as well.

As it happens, HLP had exactly that until the emergency upgrade - And before that was implemented, overly huge sigs were often trimmed down by force if the owners refused to shorten them. So, chances are good you'll see it back when Sandwich gets the new theme into place.

The scrolling sigs was removed because as you scrolled down the page to read, when the mouse was over a scrolling sig only the sig would scroll, so it made reading a pain in the balls.

Incorrect. Scrolling sigs were removed because they are part of the forum theme, and since the forums are still using SMF default you're not seeing it. You can also avoid the scrolling issue if you keep your mouse cursor to left or right side of posts.

Images on sigs have been prevented by other measures new to SMF 2.0, which do not require changes to forum theme like what was done in SMF 1.1.
