Default New signature rule

I couldn't help but notice the new signature rule that does not allow dynamic php image signatures (being very popular among vB users).

Any particular reason for this? :ermm:

If it creates a cookie or gathers info, it's not looked upon kindly. Privacy issues. Not to mention, they're just plain annoying.

If we're talking about annoying, then is there anything that can be done about Hellsatan's here that takes forever to load and then offers up a missing image?

You should complain to your isp for that crappy connection. His sig is within rules.

The only thing no longer allowed are cookie-setting images. My signature is dynamic.

Technically, no it isn't if it gathers information.

If you look at MarcoH64's sig ---

Dynamic images, php files and other scripts that create cookies or gather information in signatures are not allowed and will be removed.

And you should complain to your district school system for such crappy educational standards.

What does my "district school system" have to do with your sub par connection? Hellsatan's sig shows up fine and in a timely fashion. It is within the rules of the board, nuff said. Dont you have your own board to make an ass out of yourself with?

Okay, both of you, calm down.

I imagine that many members would find dynamic PHP sigs annoying, I am one of them. I dislike image sigs alltogether as I see them as a waste of my download limits, not to mention they lag threads and make them load slower for everyone.

Fast Board > Pointless image sigs.
