Im running my computer off of a T1 line at work and the animated sigs are making the screen bounce all over the place. For some reason the page never stops loading when i get to a certain post. It only happens with pages with posts from Rick, bunghole, and a couple others so i am assuming its the signatures.

I don't have a problem at home or at school. Why don't you run a poll to see if others are having problems, too?

Im not sure what the deal is but it only happens when i get to a post by you and bunghole. As soon as I scroll through your post, the computer starts acting crazy.

Nah dude... I know you are correct on this one...

The sigs do slow down the place...

I have a cable connection... it's usually very fast.

The animated sigs to make it lag, horribly... the page gets all "bungled" up and stuff.

I hate it, maybe something will be done.. I don't know?

But anyway, I am having the same problem as you. You're not alone.

Go to "My Controls" then click on "Board Settings".
Look under "Board Display Settings", and you will see "Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics?" select No

You everlovin' UC fans can now throw a party!
The UK sig is GONE! I didn't realize that I was contributing to internet logjam.
I usually only have trouble with slowdown when in addition to the animated sigs, there's a lot of pictures in a post (Black Jesus in particular)
Only too happy to change it if it helps...plus I'm much prouder of my new one anyway! ;)
I wondered why nobody ever replied to my posts! :lol:
Yay! It's not because I'm an idiot! I hope... :unsure:

I voted that [b]I don't care if your computer runs slow[/b] :P


For the people who are having problems at work, you need to be working and not playing on the computer :P

For those who have problems at home, upgrade to high speed ;)

CTA513 has only TWO posts (Rookie) and on his second post, he tells the people with computer problems to just [color="red"]turn off the signatures when reading topics[/color]. He should be upgraded to All Pro after that, ha. Problem fixed. :lol:

I've had the same problems with animation at work as some of you are having. Home is fine for me.

While I'm at work (occasionally checking in on things ;) ) I use the settings described [url="http://gobengals.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=766"]in this thread[/url]. Works for me.
