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:

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
