missed that part i guess, but it means that all image files or whatever else would have to be stored off server. mehage. frankly, in my opinion, nothing Gren couldn't have found if he wanted to :)

Yeah we could...only they weren't taken away because of bandwith, it was because some were "too big or offensive"....no offense, but that could easily be fixed unless the mods are lazy

that was the official excuse. the real problem was bandwidth. or was it? perhaps it was a sadistic plot to uniform our lives into the same person who obeys the rulz... ahhhh! I come up with too many conspiricy plots :wink:

You don't get it. The problem is NOT BANDWITH. It has nothing(or very little) to do with that. It was that some sigs were too big/offensive.

Yes, the problem was not bandwidth. People were making multiple sigs, sigs that were WAY too big, or just plain offensive.

Someone pointed me to a plugin to manage sigs, when I get some time I will install it. I would be doing it sooner, but we have been working on something that isn't public yet, and it is taking a lot of time.
