but that has no affect on the performance of the page itself. If the page was 1280x2048 or 1280x4096 it won't matter if all the content is the same. You will have to scroll a bit but the performance will be the same.

i agree that slower connections are just that ... slower but what I am getting at is if sigs could be 150px high in size less than 100kb it won't make a difference for anyone even if the sig was 400px high in size and still less than 100kb.

i agree but you can set less than 40 responses and get better performance even on a fast connection. All you are doing is putting less strain on the cobaltss.net server by requesting less form data

if you want to see funny, make a thread or post a pic for someone, its a bitch to have to scroll through them when you are searching for something or when you are in a lengthy discussion in a forumn....keep it to the rules, keep it small....

i run an 8mg+ connection (usually clocked at 12-15mg)...so its not a problem for speed. and i use 40 so that i dont have to reload ALL DAY....

if we all kept things to specs noone would mod their cars. If we all go to 100px most won't care about being creative with their sigs. It is just too small in some cases.

how did this turn into internet speed? look up the old "what speed do you have" always less than 1% was dialup. so 99% of people have faster than dialup speed.

i agree with the fact that if you have a large sig, it's annoying to have it take up half the screen, scroll down and again take up half the screen down the whole page.

Text loads faster than images. The sig rule will stay as it is. Thanks for your feedback
