I have been thinking about this and as you might have guessed based on the forum design, I am not a very huge fan of signature images in posts.
One reason for this is that we have a mobile version of the site, and cost for the visitor browsing that version of Esato would be increased a lot if every single post had an image included. The download time increases too. Today we don't even let the signature itself be displayed on Esato mobile. It is of course technical possible to remove the images on the light versions of Esato. If you visit this topic on Esato mobile at mobile.esato.com with our phone, a 8639 byte large page will show the 5 first post in this thread. Adding a signature in the five first posts increase the page size to over 33000 bytes.
The other reason why I don't like images in signatures is because I think it take away the focus from the written text. I leave Esato forum from time to time and visit other forums. And I find text-only forums more attractive than forums cluttered with signature images.
These are the reasons why you not are allowed to have images in the signature and some of you are trying to avoid this ruule now.
A better solution could be to add this information to the user profile page.

Thanks for the reply.
I do wonder though that if signatures are not shown on the mobile version anyway, how would images affect that?
I accept your preference on text only forums which is fair enough.
The idea of adding this to user profiles is interesting though, how would that work out? Would the images be shown in there are do you just mean adding text to read Trusted Trader etc?
Thanks,
Mik
