Most of the sites providing us with signatures seem to have been having lots of connection issues recently. This has considerably impacted the board by slowing it down and causing lots of I/O errors on the server.
As a result I have changed the coding to display your signature only on the first post you make. This has made the loading on the server far more manageable.
Further I have cached my signature locally so it will always be available, regardless of providing site availability.
So first question is do you like / hate the changes ?
The second is that should anyone else wish their signature cached locally to help speed up the board then please post and let me know. I'll upload your signature to the server and provide you with a local link to replace your signature.
Pro's for doing
The board runs quicker.
Your signature is always available.
Board is more secure
.
Con's for doing this
Your signature will only be updated when I check or you ask me to update it.

If I can retrieve your sigs from our server rather than signature.statseb.fr it will make things far faster. If you don't want to do this it will not make a huge difference but can you at least change the url in your signature to https ?
If you want to use the uploaded cached version then change your signature in your user control panel to the below
If any-one else wants their sig cached then let me know here.
[mention]Dirk Broer[/mention] is now using the cached version.
Let me know here if any of the rest of you are or not so I know who will need updates in the future.
Also anyone else wish this then post here and let me know.
Cheers.

@Bryan Jeez, you really are the chieftain of the awkward clan You're sig is different from all the others on sebs site.
See I keep telling you that I'm "special" but you don't believe me

Oh VERY special. I guess at ID19 on the stat site you were one of the crash test dummies. Possibly one crash too many ..... I've marked you on the update list as a "special" case

Can I ask that we use the cached sigs again as sebs site has been very slow transferring signatures again.
If anyone else wants their sig to be cached for local loading please let me know and I will add you.

@Gibson Praise That's you added. Your sig is sig-929 ( not sig-2197 )
-- That's the sig up now. It will automatically update when I update ( You're added to my list ). If you need it updated earlier just let me know.

Using the cached signatures really speeds up load times when forum does not have to look up sebs stat site. Can those not using it just now consider changing their sig back to the cached version @Megacruncher ?
