Christ. I'd settle with just the ability to *CHANGE* my sig let alone put a pic in it.

The last revision of the forums made it so that the underscore in my handle was an illegal character. I get an error any time I try to update my profile.

BAH!

I could care less about having pics in the sig, however it is laughable to think that they give the forum an 'unprofessional appearance.' With all of the other horseshit that goes on, I would think that pics in the sigs are the least of their worries. This is hardly a professional forum as it is and coupled with the fact that most of these avatars are unprofessional looking, therefore I think professionalism is already out the door.

Professionalism might not be the right word. Non-annoying may be. I CAN'T STAND goning to the little riceboy forums with the 1024x768 size fscking sig pics of their ugly as sin piece of sh!t bondo mobiles.

It really screws with the feng shui of the forums.

So...why are you going to the little riceboy forums in the first place?

Typically it's when somebody here links a thread with the title "Hahahaha check out this dumbass!"

And then you click....and you are assaulted with sig pics half the size of your screen.

Yes. It's in the same vein as any text in sigs. Images and text are equally likely to offend a close minded person. Since you don't have the right to be not-offended you can rely on your option to disable viewing sigs. That way you don't hamper the freedom of expression of someone with whom you do not agree.

If you don't have the bandwidth for a few dozen images you have no business trying to use the web in the first place.

Text in sigs is fine. So long as it's reasonable.
