Sorry Susita. It hasn't been a boardwide announcement but I disabled images in signature blocks because it was slowing down page loads. Some pages would have several different off-site places it would have to pull information from. It was just a drain on site performance.

The initial reason for allowing img tags in the sig was for sigs that wouldn't be harvested by SE spiders. With the re-vamping of the sig rules so that private sigs contained germane information this was less of an issue.

There are going to be some upgrades to the board in the 3.7.0 release of vBulletin. One of those upgrades will be a more robust profile so you'll be able to hang information like that in your profile when folks click on it.
