Post Not Liking YouTube Clips in Signatures
The YouTube clips in signatures is slowing down every page load they're on, sometimes multiple times, plus major scrolling action.

:grrr:

But, maybe it's just me...

I'm with you on this one, bradley. Usually I just block images in signatures that I don't want to see, but I can't do it with videos. It'd be better if the video was just removed altogether.

Gifs cause more problems for me. Like when Excel had 3 or so in his sig. :grrr: The videos dont really slow anything down for me though.

He's all I've noticed.

And it's not so much about slowing down the site, it's more just a visual eyesore. If it's a picture I don't want to see, I block it, but I can't do that for embedded videos. It's just a question of courtesy.

I agree there should be a policy shift with regard to signatures. Some people's are too long, others too flashy, and youtube videos simply have no place in a signature.

We will discuss it among the mods and admins and come up with a new rule.

Post Re: Not Liking YouTube Clips in Signatures
Bradley and trix have read my mind, because for about a week now I kept thinking about making a thread asking for youtube videos to not be allowed in signatures, or to ask if there was a way to block them. Ultimately, there isn't, and I find them to be an eyesore. But I can't simply block them like I do photos/gifs; otherwise, I wouldn't be complaining.

Thanks Bradley, Eagle, Mods, etc.

Peace,
Mike

We added a bit in the rules about signatures, and will pm the guys asking them to remove them.
