The Question and Answer Board

[medchal]

A small complaint/suggestion/comment:

I generally find images and sound files in signatures pretty annoying, especially when forced to the view them over and over, but that's just a matter of taste. I have the annoying sound files turned off anyway.

But about every tenth time I load a message with an image in the signature (one I have not loaded before), I find someone is trying to set cookies on my computer. They don't succeed, but I still find it annoying.

Maybe I-Hub is receiving some revenues from cookies successfully placed by these files, and if so, I'll just continue to block them. I suspect, however, that they are simply imbedded in images because either the poster of the message or the site from which he got the image is fishing for information, and if that is the case, I see no reason that it should be permitted. There are a lot of people who hang around message boards from whom I would just as soon keep my distance.

Any comments?
