Wipe and put restrictions on profile pics

[smt]

Stop talking like you're web developers, k.

The pictures don't do shit to load times. They're cached, they take less than 200ms to load unless you've never seen it before.

The problem is that we have forum software loaded with bloat that gets executed on every page load, like I said before, the time spent is not downloading it's waiting for the webserver to return the result, ergo not the pictures.

im aware that caching exists, but massive gif avatars are still dumb, they make scrolling down the main page a tiring job

the page still loads slowly, not matter what's causing it, having to wait 6-7 seconds for the main page to load is bad

I'm from EU and I got no high load times.

3. (Alternative with number 2) Remove the ability to use image urls as profile pics, keep the dimension restriction and add a file size restriction to images to further reduce lag.

please explain how this changes lag in the slightest

Then this is an entirely different argument and unrelated to this thread.

Well I'll just call my buddy up at SMF and tell him we need to the it faster. Update will be done in 3-4 hours.

Then was there really a point at all in removing forum signatures?

Well it's pretty clear that the initial suggestion isn't going to happen. Maybe someday in the future signatures will be re-enabled, but for now it looks like they're going to stay disabled.
