I recently got around to installing firefox & I've noticed that some peoples signatures have changed now, like looking at mine it looks cut in half now. When I open it up with the normal internet explorer it's normal, so I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to change it so the images load up normally if possible? Firefox seems to load pages quicker & I'm guessing it's something that happens with the images that it uses to make it quicker but was wondering if I can change it back so the forums look normal...

Thanks for any help!

Also forgot to mention that when I directly view the images it's normal, it's just the way it shows up in the signatures :nyaanyaa:

Yeah it seems a bit weird, I don't see the pics in mine as excessively big either. But it's something I've only noticed recently, but still comes up normally in IE. Damned computer aids :nyaanyaa:

Yeah Funkey's restriction didnt apply to IE users.

I noticed it the other day myself and will get him to fix it.

Signature restrictions are used to keep the forum friendly for all users both local or overseas, ADSL2+ or 56k.

We have to take everyone into account and big sig's slow the place down :)

For me personally, I like the sig size restrictions. Not so much for any perceived reduction in bandwidth (the pics still load so I'm not convinced anyway), I like it because it means you don't have people with sigs that take the whole damn screen! Some people feel the need to put enormous pics in their sigs, along with dozens of lines of text and it's just crap having to scroll past it all. The option to blanket disable viewing sigs is always there but sometimes you want to see sigs, and the restriction means that I can keep sigs turned on without having to scroll past somebody's life story, witty quotes, mod list, lolcat pics etc :blink:

Sigs contain often useful info especially sigs of Club Execs (we have probably over 40 using the forum) so they can form a means of quick links/updates.

Plus 100's of other people offering services or parts for sale and so on.

So Sigs disable is not really the casting option to cover 56k users IMO

i believe 56k users would be in the minority these days, other forums i have seen have the option to not display sig or avatar pics which each individual user can select.

Right here!

its not that big sigs slow the site down... its more that HUGE sigs take up valuable realestate on the screen and can detract from the general browsing experience. you don't want a couple of lines of useful info on a forum and half a page of flashing images.

and I figured out how to make it work in IE too, just haven't had time to edit the CSS file for the site. I will soon. so your full sig days in ie are numbered :down:

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
