I'm on DSL but graphics in the signature STILL slow it down, I also find them useless and a waste of space forcing me to scroll through an inevitably longer page. So I would vote a NO NO NO NO and NO for images in signatures.
No. Unless you hack UBB to display the signature only ONCE per thread. There's nothing more annoying than seeing the same signature (+image) four-five times per thread...
No...I like the fact that these boards don't have the images in signatures...it makes them faster and better looking...though i might have to pull a ferro and start putting a sig at the bottom of each of mine. First i need to make one that looks good at a very small res. I feel like such a hipocrit right now. But still no. Lots of images+56k=bad news.
yes yes yes. all those who say no simply wouldn't have them, i think very few people would take the effort to have them. that would keep the load light on 56k's and let those members who would like an image have their way. this is something i would really really like to see, i could not see our boards users going over board with this.

When the forums are really hopping, it's enough to have to load all the "confirmed" mockups when you view a thread.
as long as we keep to guidelines (like ferro's size). It gives much more color and lets us be more expressive and fun...
The other half stops and thinks about what would happen if everybody had picture sigs *shudder*.
