However, as it is now (i.e. you make links to external images), we'd need to load each image from that server every time the signature is called, get the image dimensions (if it's even a valid image file to begin with), and work from there. That'd make a horrendous strain on the server (having to contact X number of other servers per page, where X is the number of unique external image links on the page) and would stall out a lot of pageloads if a server stopped responding and the JCF had to wait for it to timeout before going on.
So, that's not quite gonna work, is what I'm saying.  |
I suppose this is true, although there are similar processes for avatars. It does not have to be done every time the page is loaded, but rather simply when the signature is made, I suppose. Then again, this would be fairly overcomplicated. It was a utopian suggestion.
