Viewing Forums With Mozilla Firefox

[ossie_21]

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

this may be the reason. dunno why its only in firefox and not IE tho

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

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

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.

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

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

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
