sharecruises Posted April 5, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi...great boards, and very helpful now please do not jump on me, I have tried to figure out how to read this board, or even how to send a message to hosts etc..but can't find how especially on this carnival board, some people have HUGE signature pictures, very WIDE, one is of the Destiny ship when this person posts..and they post a lot, my whole screen widens. .i can barely read the posts/answers etc...I have to scroll back and forth due to the width that this makes?? I hope I am explaining this right can I "turn off " the pictures...OR can the hosts please ask some of the people with the huge WIDE sig pictures to change them? do they have some sort of "size" guidelines? I would love to read what is being written but the big huge wide sigs make the page just too hard to comprehend back and forth <grin> thanks in advance Cheri Imagination May 8-13 Grand Cayman/Ochos Rios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2J Posted April 5, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think you can do this in your user cp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGirl97 Posted April 5, 2006 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Go to the user CP in the upper left corner. Click on Edit Options. Scroll down to thread display or thread settings (cant remember which) and you can click where it says "show images" or "show signature" and it will turn them off for you!

perkyblue Posted April 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2006 If you go to the main board page (with the list of all the bb's) there's a link that says "Need Help Using the Boards." It's kind of hard to find because it's in blue above the rest of the bb listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Dad1 Posted April 5, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Go to your User CP and click on Edit Options. Un-check the Show Signatures box, and all should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonella Posted April 5, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Maybe you need to go into your Control Panel for your Screen Resolution & change that? Doing that will show more image on your screen in general, with slightly smaller type, so less need to scroll back & forth when in websites. Note: The older your computer/monitor is, the "less" screen resolution you will be able to get. Go into Control Panel Click on Display Click on Settings "nudge" up your screen resolution to the next setting You can always go back to a previous setting if you don't like the new setting. While I don't have the problem you're having, I do think the people with HUGE sigs should rethink how much they need to put in them & how big the images really need to be. Rule of thumb could be, if your usual length of post is less than 1/10th the length of your sig, your sig just might be too big! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecruises Posted April 5, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Thanks to all I have had to disable the show pictures ..due to just a few people thanks sharon but the settings are not the problem if I resized it, this persons picture will still "stretch" the forum so that is unreadable..just on a smaller scale etc the picture in question is hosted elsewhere is 728 Pixels wide and 90 pixels tall it is much larger than a banner or a "days til cruise" or anything I wish that I could email the board mods and/or the person with that extremely large picture in his sig.. til then I have to disable all pictures since he apparently posts a lot and this makes it just impossible to read any way to email the mods?? thanks again.

Cotton Posted April 5, 2006 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I can't help you with the technical stuff, although I clicked OFF something one time that eliminated all the avatars, etc. - but I do agree about the wide posts. Whenever I click onto a thread/post and see that it's so wide it's running off the right side of my screen - I just don't even read that post! I'm not gonna spend my time scrolling back and forth.
