Limiting Sig sizes

Ok, when I read the site from my BB, it takes me like 5 minutes to scroll past Cbrahs side cause its so **** long and uses such large font, have we considered making a limit to the text size or amount of text?

There is a limit to the amount of characters but not the size of text. I wish I had a way to do that because those large sigs are annoying...

I don't understand why some folks use such a large font to begin with............

Does it make their truck faster?

The same topic came up on another forum that I'm on and it was (basically) agreed that it was the size of the text, not necessarily the amount...I like to use about the smallest text that's offered. Sigs are a great thing and I often find myself looking at other peoples' mods and witty remarks, HP, MPG numbers, etc.

Agreed. I don't mind people putting stuff about their trucks on there but the huge text gets crazy sometimes. I don't think people mean any harm. It's just annoying...

Oh I agree it is not intended to be as obnoxious as it is at times. I think a lot of the guys use larger monitors with bigger resolution and do not see how much space they take up on a smaller screen.

On my 15" monitor it is a bigger problem than on my 19" and 21" monitors.

Off topic for a moment, I always wonder what the (TOP) after your username means? Or can you say it just always gets me.

I guess Jack figured out how to only let your sig hit once per page/thread.

I saw that too, I thought they had done gone and made the change. But that's a good idea, sometimes ppl write novels and post and sig makes like two pages of scrolling I guess.
