I like beautiful banners, and my internetconnection is pbl faster then the connection most of you have, but I still don't like it if people have more then 2 banners. It's annoying if you're reading a thread and after reading a two line message you have to scroll down...
and scroll down...
and we keep scrolling down...
Does it ever stop?...
Still scrolling...
A little bit further now...
ah... Next two line message. So I voted 1 - 2 banners.

No more than 2 banners... If I ever have more than 2 banners myself I feel like I'm intruding and taking up more space than I need to... I don't want to do that... And I don't like other people doing either...

1 or 2 banners esta muy bien! my dial up is very slow, and when people's banners are loading, the page skips up and down...very frusterating...

I agree with one or two banners, but what about other things? Like glitter names and animations and all the other things people put in their sigs?

I voted for one-two, because I think any more than that and it looks really messy and cluttered. And like Arwen said, it slows down dial-up loading time and that must be so annoying! And hundreds of glitter names and things looks silly... I love those glitter names but I think one-two is enough. Anyway! That's just my opinion!

1-2 sounds great! The loading time for me is not effected but the amount of banners in some people's sig get very annoying. I think the banners should be limited to 1-2 or possibly three if they are smaller then 700x150 pixels. I don't have any problem with the animations though if they take a while to load for some people there should probably be a limit on those as well. I recently added a sig restriction to my sites forum. It is 1-2 banners max and 4blinkies (also includes glitter text..etc.) max. This seems to work well for everyone.

I am the one brave soul who said Other. This is because I understand everyone.
1) We love LotR, we wouldn't be here if we didn't. Therefore, we want to show off our favorite actors/scenes/etc. 2) 4 banners x 15 posts x every page = lots of unuseful space However, you can change your sig daily but you can't change others' sigs.
My personal suggestion is that people have a pixel limit. That way, people can put as much as they want on their sig, without it getting in everyone's way.

I chose 1-2 banners because I'm sick and tired from seeing these full pages with so many different kinds of banners...

There's something else I just thought of - it gets really annoying when people use really big banners and they make the whole page stretch... there was a sig like that I saw and it just totally messed the page up!!

I voted for 1 or 2 banners. It is really irritating when people with 5 banners post just a line and we have to keep scrolling down to read the next post.

I voted 1-2 banners. I like being able to have banners and all but...sometimes pages take wwaaaay too long to load. Also not as many posts fit on a page, so ur changing pages twice as often at half the speed. very annoying

I think there should be a limit on banner size as well; for example, signatures no taller than 200 pixels. It takes forever to download and scroll through all of those huge banners. It's a huge waste of bandwidth and time. Sometimes I have to spend a few minutes looking for a post in a sea of banners. Reading a thread shouldn't be this difficult.
I know they are pretty, but there's too much of a good thing in this case. If you want to show your artistic talent, make yourself a website and post a modest link to it in your signature! Then people will be able to see them when they want to and the rest of us can read in peace.

I have a banner and some avatars in my sig...I think if you want avatars they should be lined up next to each other so they don't take up one line each. A line of avatars should be counted as one banner. I voted 1-2 banners.

I talking to my friend at lunch today and I was wondering why she never went on the forum even though she was a regular visitor to a-u. And her only reason was because she has dial-up and it takes too long for the banners to load! Anyway, it's just an example of why we really need to push the sig limit down.
