I've noticed a number of posts over the past few months that are simply pilots testing out their signature image. While I'm not sufficiently anal retentive to complain about the amount of diskspace they take up (especially since they're around 400 bytes each and the Water Cooler is around 155MB) I think it might make things cleaner to give you a page where you can test your image.

Therefore, I've added a link on the side menu labelled "Signature Test". If you want to change your signature image, please go into the Pilot Center and update your pilot profile.

Cheers!

I concure with tyrone. Also what about restrcting the size of the images, some of these images are hudge and even on my cable modem it still takes a while.

I thought the image sizes were already supposed to be restricted.

I have the code to get image sizes, but there's a slight problem - it's written in Java, and the back-end server code that handles saving pilot profiles is written entirely in a VB variant. For me to implement the image checking code means porting that entire bit to Java, and it's been rather low on my list of priorities lately. It's definitely on the todo list, but the complexity makes it a little low (and the fact forcing a developer to use the Lotus Domino Java IDE is a crime against humanity).

Download times for signature images aren't really a factor of the dimensions of the image; just the size. I'll probably run a query to see the image sizes and see if the maximum size of the image file needs to be adjusted downwards.

Cheers!
