17 inch is the safe limit, but I've seen 18s used without problems that I know of. One CotM had 19 inchers on there. I would think that the width would get you into the mod territory before the height. But that's just my opinion.

Nothing ominous... just some silly site that gets a request for the picture, and puts in the caller's IP, a different silly saying, and a different character each time. Here's what I got by refreshing the screen a bunch of times:

ahh. just making sure.  If you go to get the sig from danasoft.com you actually type in the diferent sayings. you could make it all cougar related or anything else for that matter.  The information actualy comes off your own computer, there's no information sent to their site, but it sure as hell has freaked out a few people in the past.  If you know your coding well, you can make your own w/ different parameters, me and college friends did it all the time.

yeah well thats just freaking wonderful but a sig like that only increases others potential to get info from me.  Too many screen snapshot spywares out there and i dont believe for a moment that im the only one seeing my own IP address or what isp im hooked up to, my speed,, my browser,, my operating system ect ect so giving them help from you (who which i dont even know) does not help matters.

hows come when i refresh,, it still says all my personal information?
yeah,, im offended

if you think im the only one who sees this,, then all that education your paying for must have left out common sense 101.

yeah,, well i dont believe that your qualified to believe that and advertise it as truth.

the first example of being offended is myself

here is a second example.. although he's not offened
,, why would masterblaster have chopped off the upper half of his refresh examples leaving out certain info he'd rather not share?  without saying so,, he admitted that there was info he'd rather not toss out in public and share.


so what your saying is your running a little "mini" software piggy backed off a server that we members here access.  Seems kind of dishonest and has potential for dishonesty in my book. 

its almost like you being a stranger and walking up and asking how my wife and kids are doing then you name them all by name.

Just making room in the uploaded pic for all the variations.

Here's what it says at http://www.danasoft.com  (where you can make your own if you want)...
The signature image is generated in real-time for each user that views it. Your IP address and other information are only visible to YOU, not to others, but because people see their own IP address and computer information displayed in the graphic, they think that their information can be seen by everyone

Here's what mine says right now (IP # was different last time):

Whenever you are online your IP address, ISP, OS, Browser version, etc. is sent to the WEB server everytime you request a page (click on a link, button, etc.) Seeing it come back to you can be a bit freaky but you are the only one that it is sent to. (in this case anyway).

Some WEB sites do collect this information for marketing purposes. It's called Datamining.

If everyone is this paranoid i will remove it.  I dont want to make anyone feel uncomfortable on the boards, especially longtime and well respected members such as jcassity and others who are always willing to help a stranger hundreds of miles a way which i am grateful for.  It will be removed shortly after i post this reply.
