LrdStryfe Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) When will the forums be modified to allow for people to use their own image signatures? Looking at the signature tab in "My Account" it says that the forum could already handle them: Allow HTML NoAllow Image BB Code NoCan Upload Images for Signature NoCan Upload Animated GIF for Signature NoAllow HTML BB Code NoSo why can't the switch on these options just be flipped to allow these above options? Unless there is a concrete good reason to prevent it then the forums are missing out on so much creativity from the player base. Coming from SWG myself, the signatures people used on the forums were an amazing expression of their characters, servers, etc. Make it happen Forum Team!

NaimiIflya Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Adding Image Options to Sigs Increases Bandwidth Usage for Forum Users. Images are only enabled in the fan art section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrdStryfe Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Adding Image Options to Sigs Increases Bandwidth Usage for Forum Users. Images are only enabled in the fan art section. Well of course it does, however, I find that to be a weak argument for not allowing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkanterah Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Would rather see forum search first as these forums are barely usable at the moment without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianizcool Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hopefully never, they look tacky. In my opinion, there shouldn't even be text signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a search bar should be more of a priority, though, since the option to include images in signatures is already in the forums coding I don't see why they can't just flip the switch on it. Wouldn't take more than a minute, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimmer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well of course it does, however, I find that to be a weak argument for not allowing them. I would guess the extra costs, and supervision required. After all give some people the ability to make a picture everybody is forced to see, and trouble can brew. Honestly I doubt they care, nor do I for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SintanMortalis Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 but i made a really awesome sig with my toon from swg and then i found out I couldnt upload a picture for my sig and i got sad and mad at the same time and now i cant be held responsible if a kitten is punted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carambole Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 After all give some people the ability to make a picture everybody is forced to see, and trouble can brew. I totally agree, in the sense that some you like and others inspire you. Well let's cross our fingers that BB code image will be alllowed in the future. I honestly could not see any other outcome except our (SIG enthusiasts) constant vigilance, regarding the question, slacking on going overboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iGhostWolf Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I would love the ability to turn my sig link into the actual image. BB code allows for a search feature and for images to be used in sigs. If anyone is having trouble with bandwidth issues from image sigs in forums, then they shouldn't even be playing the game. I do think though that the sig images should be limited to a size of 400W X 120H to keep them from getting ostentatious. Also want the ability to use my own image, if I choose, as a forum avatar. Size also limited, to standard avatar size. Edited January 10, 2012 by iGhostWolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqemokitty Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 hopefully never, or with a strongly enforced size limit. i'd rather see custom avatars, again with a strongly enforced size limit. picture sigs are so tacky. don't need everyone with a cracked PS who thinks they are an artist busting their gifs up in here.
