    I think peoples "movie" signatures are "annimated GIFFS" .giff suffix. Technically they're still pictures, I don't think any true "movie" formats are supported, (.mpeg, .mov, etc..)

    Does this help? :)

    They are not movies.

    They are Animated GIFs which are not recommended in Signatures.

    2.4 Signatures:
    Signatures are currently allowed at MAP but are a privilege that may be revoked if abused. Guidelines for signature content are…
    2.4.1 Signature content must adhere to the general guidelines on suitable content
    2.4.2 No commercial advertising.
    2.4.3 A maximum of 4 lines of text or a signature graphic banner.
    2.4.4 Signature graphics must be 350x100 pixels or less (landscape format) and 15k in files size or less.
    2.4.5 Animated signature graphics are distracting – please do not use them.

    From: Map Terms of Service.

    Cheers. :)

    particular issues usually rise around them being fairly large which means they use up a lot of our precious bandwidth which doesn't come cheap

    In that case, are polite reminders being sent out to all MAPers who are using Animated GIFs in their Signature.

    Cheers. :)

    What do you think of animated avatars, Johnny??

    Animated avatars are ok - less distracting and smaller.
