Question To Moderators/administrators

<div class="IPBDescription">Included Art Poster ;)</div> I have one question. Why are we restricted to only 2 images per post and signature? Personally I think this should be raised to atleast 4, because when I do art, I usually end up doing more than 2 versions, and well posting 3 times or more to present something I could do in one on DODMOD's forums which ends up being very agrivating. Besides that, I can understand if it is latency problems, or for the 56k'ers that are on these boards, or the overall speed of the boards. But really, whats the difference between posting more than once to show off 4 pictures, than just posting once for 4. I'd think 2 posts would slow the forums down more than 1 would. I do not know where the admins/moderators stand on this issue but I for one would love to be able to add buttons to other sites and random quotes in my signature as well. These restrictions have bothered me since i've visited these forums. I can understand if you admins/moderators want to keep the signatures small so you don't have to scroll pages for people that seem to WANT big sigs, but whats the difference if they use one of the size of 3? I'd like these questions to be answered promptly and maturely. I'm not a newbie to forums and have designed many myself with my co-artist/webdesigner Justin, who joined up with me. Anyways to hold you people over and thanking you for reading this, i've added another image to the Dark Horizons folder on my computer and wanted to share it with you.

    I agree, 4 pics (or even 8) would be great. Its not like people aren't going to just reply to their own thread w/ the other links anyway. :)

    maybe add an option "do a link for picture instead of posting the picture" for the 56k.. or a "no picture mode"

    ... but with larger images. It is a cheap and easy way to stop spam, and we apologise that occaisionly it makes life a teeny bit hard for people posting actual pictures. If you need to post more things, just make a new post in the same thread. Signature size is fixed, for very specific reasons which have been debated time and time again. The conclusion? This is not the DOD forums. Simplicity is complexity. You can have all the random quotes and buttons and images in your signature as much as you like, as long as they fit within the limits.

    I shall ask the head honcho's about the possibility of raising the limit in the Creation forum group.
