#323658, "Is this a .org or .com site??"
Is TC starting to turn into IVillage or something??
Seems more and more people are popping up with these HUGE @$$ signature lines.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but we have a forum for photos. And I beleive the TC site once was almost crashed when everyone started posting pics of themselves on the main forum.
I know there were some changes since then. Is the main fourm able to handle this if it keeps up and more people do it?

I'm glad someone else noticed this.
Every day signature lines w/pictures get bigger and bigger - and DONT GET ME WRONG - the siggy lines are creative and wonderful, but it takes me FOREVER to open up threads that contain them.

I had no idea that this was an issue as there are no posting guidelines or signature guidelines to follow here. Honestly, I prefer to see pictures as I can "get to know" the members here better. I am also a very visual person & tend to not be able to recognize people w/ their screen name alone. The signatures help me put 2 & 2 together.
Is there a moderator or administrator here that could answer this question for us rather than this turning into a debate? I would like to think that I am able to put what ever I like in the signature unless there are specific rules that do not allow this.

Listen, I don't like to argue but this isn't turning into a nice situation. Why would we talk to one another like this when it is hard enough to find a place EXCLUSIVELY for triplet moms & moms to be? I may be missing some history between some people here but this is a bit childish.
I just don't understand what the big deal is about the pictures?

No one said your siggy line was ugly but really it seems to be a competition around here who can have the bigger one. I'm saying it should be toned down. I find it distracting. I too am very proud to be a MOM & I think my kids are gorgeous but I keep it on the photo forum.

No bickering. There are just some people here who don't like others and they cannot play nice.
I wasn't calling you out and meant no harm to anyone.
Just want to know if I can have one too!
But then again I guess you should just do instead of ask permission! But that always got my butt beat growing up. So I tend to ask. Sorry!

Ahhhh...I just haven't been here long enough to understand the dynamics of the TC family. I suppose I'll catch on.
Are we suppose to ask permission to put stuff in our siggies? I didn't know that? I always play by the rules but didn't see any guidelines for the siggies.
Hey, if you want one, I'll make you one. I don't have anything better to do while on bedrest. It will take up my time.

Awe, thank you! I don't plan on removing it but felt compelled to reply to this question b/c I haven't been around here long & didn't know if I was breaking the rules.
IF there are NO rules being broken, I don't understand the problem. Honestly, I am proud of my belly, my triplets & want the world to see.
If this stalker guy wants a piece of this, go ahead...I have a 45 under the bed & a darn good aim. Otherwise, I am not going to feel pressured to take my picture off.

I am not quite sure I understand the op's problem with it either?
I don't think you are breaking any rules. I don't have a problem with opening any threads because of it and my computer is over 6 years old! LOL!

I may be wrong here, but I don't believe that anyone singled out Astrid in this post. The thing of question is the LARGE signature photos. Personally , I think they are very creative, HOWEVER, if you can create these things, than I am sure you can re-size tham as well. KWIM? Just make them smaller.

Tracy ~ I do not feel at all singled out. I follow rules when rules apply. If there is a limit in size or what we can put in the siggies, I will follow them. I just felt compelled to answer the thread b/c I do have a picture in mine. I don't want to step on anyone's toes or break policy.
I think it would be best if the admins jump in here & either tell us one way or the other. If we are allowed to put pictures, maybe the pixel amount should be specified.
For the record, although I know how to create these signatures, I did not create the one in mine. It was made for me thus I cannot resize it.

Thank you for finally bringing this up... To me it is all I see anymore when I sign on. It overshadows the question & the response. Really a place to have photos should be in the photo section only unless it is a small one like people use to have. I understand that you think it gives you some sort of visual of the person but to be quite honest we have had "belly" stalkers (yes people who get off on some of these type of photos) in the past & this is exactly what he will look for.

Is this a serious post or some kind of joke? I ask considering the picture that is in your siggy line.
I don't think there is anything wrong with it, and personally, it doesn't seem to cause a delay for me (as far as opening posts). I actually like to see the pictures

It is a serious question. I'm not trying to start a debate or make anyone feel bad.
I'm too computer stupid to make one of those siggies. I thought the photo would give everyone a giggle.
Guess not!
Before I got my DH to make me one I wanted to ask. I would hate for this to crash the forum. We did have problem with photos in the main forum once before.
Jeff and/or Tiff e-mail must be burning up right now.

I have to agree Amy. When I open a thread it takes a long time to scroll through the responses with the huge pictures. I guess the photo forum would be a better place to have photos. Sometimes it's difficult to find the person's message with all the clutter in the signature line.
That is one big belly you have there.
