Reminder: New RBX Dev users. RE: Signatures

Forum Help
1

Just a friendly heads up, I’ve seen a few new members join and some of you have animated signatures or the size expands beyond the allowed size. This can break the page for mobile users sadly

This is the way of things. One of the biggest reasons for this restriction is that we have many users who access these forums via mobile and we don’t want to devour their data plans. I appreciate the consideration of hiding the signature in a spoiler tag, but unfortunately it still loads when the page loads and the gif you are using is quite large and so I’m going to have to ask you to change it.[/quote]

All signatures cannot be any bigger then 655x120 and cannot be animated. If you would like something like mine where it changes every time you see it

Just be warned if an admin spots you breaking this rule, they will remove your signature.

Yes, please adhere to these guidelines. Also make sure that your raw image is no larger than the given resolution, and that you didn’t set it to fit the rules in your signature code. Some browsers, especially on mobile, don’t like scaling images.

As someone who spends four hours on trains every day and browses the forums mainly on mobile, image signatures are pretty much the most annoying thing on this forum.

These are helpful but won’t work for a lot of mobile devices, hence why this rule needs enforcing.

“but won’t work for a lot of mobile devices”

How do you even use this site on a mobile device?? I’m not convinced that the rule is strict enough to make much difference in mobile device usability, it’s pretty bad either way.

The site automatically detects when it’s too narrow to keep the current layout and it adjusts (i.e. it moves the ads to the bottom of the page rather than having it on the side). Make it even narrower and it’ll display the avatar, post count and username above the post rather than beside it.

The only trouble is with the page-stretching image signatures, which is why I request that people please make them smaller.

Why? AdBlock allows me to get rid of things on-site that annoy me. Ads, for example.

But when you remove advertisements from free websites, you’re literally stealing services. Those ads are how people, like my uncle, keep roofs over their heads and food on their table. By using the websites and products that they give to you that is otherwise free, but sustained by your viewership of those ads, they keep things open. But when you don’t view their ads, you’re literally stealing use of their product or service.

And before you say “But I’m not going to click on them anyway, so it won’t help them,” You’re wrong. Most ad services, such as Google AdSense, don’t pay per click, they CHARGE per click. But they PAY per view.[/quote]

I block flash player ads - other ads I don’t have a problem with.

Also, when your site takes forever to load up because of the amount of ads on it, then I’m going to stop visiting your site/block the ads.

I see what you mean, and now that you’ve said that I actually went and checked my AdBlock options. I made sure that non-intrusive ads are allowed. I don’t want to steal services after all.

Google ads were whitelisted to begin with, by the way. Those are extremely helpful at times.

What I’m hoping it continues to block is flash applet ads, because some of those have gone as far as auto-playing audio in the background. I don’t mind static images or even videos but I despise audio playback I can’t turn off.
And popups. I hate popups.

When a websites advertisements are like this, I 100% guarantee that I’m going to use adblock on your site. http://adgallery.zenfs.com/2013/05/05/629437

The only ads i give a shit about are youtube ads, especially those 30 second long UNSKIPABLED ones.

Yes thanks, I sure do need to be told about women’s hair products for a solid 30 seconds.

That’s not a website, that’s just an ad gallery. Haha![/quote]

Considering that this was inevitable, I am sorry for completely derailing the thread.

I’m not familiar with browsers on mobile. Do extensions not work or something?

I know that browsers for iOS (3rd party and Safari) aren’t able to install 3rd party extensions.
Apple has a strict rule against installing add-ons to the app via a Store like the Chrome store, for example.
