questionposter Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm pretty good with photoshop, and other people probably are too, and from what I know, many websites that have user-interfaces such as with forums allow users to have a sort of personal banner or logo or signature.

hypervalent_iodine Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 As does this one. http://www.scienceforums.net/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=members&area=signature Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Users cannot, however, put any images in their signatures, because that generally leads to people piling in all sorts of random crap. I intentionally made signature text small and unobtrusive because the point is to read posts, not gaze upon acres of blinking signature banners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 You have your personal avatar displayed on the right of your posts, for which you could pick a logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I second Cap'n Refsmmat's post. I enjoy this forum because it's layout is nice and calm, which allows to to immediately focus on the contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I third that opinion with CR and CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortal Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I fourth that opinion with CR, CP and SJ. This is the best layout for a discussion forum compared to other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 When we've talked about this previously I have always expressed the view that images in/as signatures reduce the flow of the thread and just get in the way. I'm therefore opposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I don't think the value it would bring can ever hope to exceed the troubles it would cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionposter Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) So, to solve this problem, why not just have a size limit? Like maybe the max can be like 150x2000 pixels? Edited March 30, 2012 by questionposter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Even if the images are wide and narrow, they're still a giant colorful dividing line between posts. I'd rather have none at all. What image do you want to put in your signature, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 So, to solve this problem, why not just have a size limit? Like maybe the max can be like 150x2000 pixels? The only thing that matters here is the meaning behind your words and not the visual style of the words. All I want to see is plain text. An avatar and a plain text sig. is sufficient means of individual expression without distracting from the core purpose of the forum which is to communicate information...it should not be a contest in who can shout the loudest visually which is how it will end up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 So, to solve this problem, why not just have a size limit? Like maybe the max can be like 150x2000 pixels? ROFL! I guess it was already april fools day when you posted this? I oppose ANY additional logos. You already have an avatar and a signature. In addition, the size limit you propose is completely ridiculous. A banner of 150x2000 pixels would occupy so much of my screen that the Occupy Movement would be proud of you. I guess you would like to make it an animated .gif too? Or, no, better... use flash! And make it a link to some external website. Viagra anyone? Just couldn't take that serious... sorry if you were.
