nah, i just solved the problem radically.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

because of the1onewolf's signature I had to turn off display of all signatures. It slows down mobile browsers way to much.

What the **** do I think? WHAT THE **** DO I THINK!? Who gives a **** what the **** I think? I want to know the ****ing answer. I had my signature ripped from my hands when rules were changed. And if they're all of a sudden null, then I want to know why the **** that happened? Is that o-****ing-kay with you, huh?

I've never had a reason to do that. But their sigs made annoying, and since on android, all of GH is magnified( I made a thread asking about this lol) their sigs were enlarged and lagged lol.

Also, to be clear, I'm not angry or upset at all. I just decided to respond to paicrai in the fashion I did. In fact, I don't even care about the signatures really.

But, in regard to what HUNTERANGEL121 said about the magnification on Android: on my Galaxy Nexus, this never happened to me. But on my new S5, I notice that some posts are larger than others. Very weird.

that image is 11kb so I kinda doubt it, but I can't say for sure. I can say that I don't find it annoying

Ok :) if its causing problems (other than people not liking it lol) pm me or something and I'll change it to a flat image or something. It's only a placeholder till I can find a better Snatcher logo anyway

It's in the corner. It's not a wall of animations. Not distracting at all lol.

I think the difference is that your pics are hosted at imgur and re-sized perfectly.

his were hosted at some site in asia (now at imgur) and his are not re-sized to a size that fits in the signature block. the site trys to autoresize them but doesn't do a very good job.

There are no restrictions on how many pics you can put in your sig and the character limit is set very high.  What is limited is the amount of vertical space that you are allowed to consume on people's screens.  This all played out over a year ago:

Current limit is 120 pixels.
