why on earth would they let the height be up to 100, and the width 500 but not at the same time? the height=100 version already takes up 100 pixels of someones page, so shortening the width is completely pointless.

But a 100x500 pixel image is 50000 pixels while a 100x100 pixel image is only 10000 as is a 20x500 pixel image. The difference in filesize and loading time would be fairly significant though, as you say, visually it would make very little difference!

thats true, but they could still set a maximum filesize, and if people could fit one into that size (png-8 format maybe?) then it would be all good.

for me, as long as a banner doesnt make the horizontal scrollbar appear at 1024x768, im not bothered. its the HEIGHT thats all important. too high and its too intrusive and also means people have to scroll more.

ffs, i gave up trying to get the rules changed because no admin would see a reasonable change in this ages back, what makes anyone else think they can do it?? whats the point in trying to point out some reasonable boundaries when they won't be accepted??? thats the one thing that frustrates me most about this board.

I can't understand how anyone can get worked up about sigs? They are completely useless, and that's a fact.

1 picture can say more than 1000 words ever could. like this

Sure, but why would you wan't to spew out 1000+ word at the end of every post anyway?
