[Forum Question] Why can't we use images in signatures?

When I edit my profile it has the option to add an image. It uploads it and attaches it for us.

So I am curious - Why can't we save it? It gives me an error saying we can't use images. Was this turned off by accident? Is it because of trolls? Is it ever going to be turned back on?

I want to put my Khajiit into my signature :'(

    My guess is that it is a feature, not a bug. The Bethesda forum does the same thing (as do many others). Images take up screen real estate and slow down load times. They are also impossible to police.

    Personally, I prefer it this way.

    @LadyNerevar‌ There's good reasons yes but the option is already there so that's why I was wondering if it was permanent or not. I just didn't see why they'd put in the option to upload an image from the signature area to begin with.

    Plus, in the options we can turn signature images off if we don't want to see any at all. So that option being there as well is what's making me curious. If they never wanted us using images in signatures at all, why would they add the option in the signature area to upload images plus add an option to "strip images out".

    Sadly, there's probably a million reasons not to have images in the signatures compared to maybe 2-3 reasons to do it.

    If they wanted to (and maybe some day in the future when they have less work to do) they could make it so we can modify our signature but any images uploaded will have to be verified and approved by an employee first. And until then it shows your old signature.

    I just really wanted to put my khajiit into my signature. oh well.

    Thanks for your thoughts :3

    During the head start they disabled images in signatures. Most likely to cut the work load for mods or because a bunch of people abused it.

    My guess is that this is a modified version of an existing forum software (no real reason to build your own from the ground up) that comes with the option by default. Or maybe it is enabled for some user groups, like moderators or employees?
