Preferably 150 pixels in height and 500 pixels in width.

Big signatures are becoming a hindrance -- being excessively bigger than the message itself. It's hard to read messages in pages of a thread that's flooded with gigantic signatures.

It also slows down page loading time of users with dial-up internet connection.

I agree. some signatures are just stupedly big.

+1

U should all be true followers of Chaos. Don't think too much about stuff, and be like Nike.. Just do It.

And if the stuff u did was "Epic Stupid"... well just regret it.

Depends what do you think as too big...

I like my signature, and it would look very stupid if I would re-size it to really small.

Of course if it would be like 10 signatures on top of each others, that would be too big.

So +-0

The snoopy part of bolibompa's signature is my preferred signature size. :)

Pixel size is hardly the main issue for slowing down tho. ;p

I could make a 500x150 bmp that would slug down, if Im really incompitent, or make a long gif thats like 100x250 but contains alot of frames.

So personally I dont care too much about a sig dimension size limit, as long as they dont become too big and starts to consume the size of a monitor(800x600). Then I start to wrinkle my nose.

Why do people stil even use dial up anyway? I myself can get a 0.250mbit connection for less than 7 bucks a month these days?

I prefer a banner-sized signature, max height around 130 and width around 650 pixels.

+1 Adding a certain limit wouldn't be bad. Besides it's not like I have slow connection so the loading doesn't amtters however... sometimes the sheer size somehow distrupts the thread >_>. It's not kewl if I have to scroll down 3 times as much to reach the bottom just because somebody has huge signature.

I'd say that 250 Height and 650 width is quite enough for most things.
