Grow up son, and some time soon. You're coming out of this sounding like a complete arse......

Why you can't reload a new .jpg with lower dimensions for the 5 minutes it'd take you to do it.... :roll:

I work in a very open-plan office, it would suit me if it was removed. I don't think you should be allowed have a picture in your signature, it makes it far too obvious that you're on the doss!!
While I can kind of see what you mean with the size of it, most people's avatars on here are a kind of give away that this site is not work related, including yours and mine.

I'd probably prefer if it was slightly smaller alright.

So in an effort to help sort this row out, I've taken the liberty of resizing the image of mr Brown. It's up to the two guys if they use it though.

Maybe Darce just likes looking at pictures of Gary Brown. Who knows....

If you're viewing this at work (when you shouldn't be), then you really should turn off images (easily done no matter what browser you're using).

Why should everyone else take action to facilitate the obnoxious attitude of one poster Meinster, sorry dude but that's madness....

He's just playing the spoilt child, when five minutes or less would be all that's required to show that he's not treating evryone else on here with contempt....

Don't think he's man enough frankly, definately one who talks the talk....

How do you do that, using IE?

Because if you're not meant to be viewing the site in work, then there's plenty more telling signs than that one signature (like many avatars, the banner image, etc.). There's an easy technical solution to a problem that some people are without the need to resort to name calling, or worrying about who's next to post up a picture that might give it away as your boss walks by.

I meant those not viewing at work, not the ones who's issue with the signature is work related........
