    Attention Signatures Slowing Down Page Refreshes

    I always use the "go to last read post" button when browsing to save time. Lately this is taking ages as the browser waits for all of the images to download before jumping to the relevant point in the thread. The main culprit of this seems to be signatures linked from mygamercard.net. I am sometimes waiting for 10+ seconds & it's really distracting.

    Has anyone noticed this too, and can anything be done about it?

    Cheers.

    Sigs are for intellectual defectives.

    I'm pretty sure vbulletin has an option to ignore signatures, check the control panel

    I remembered the option & have changed it. It will stay like that for a while, then I will turn the option back on to see some sigs since some of them can be amusing.
