When are we going to have signatures again? I belong to 6 other forums, and on all of them you can a have a sig.
The moderators have discussed turning the sigs back on and there are people on both sides, but so far the votes for keeping them off have come out ahead. So there's no timeframe right now for when they'll get turned back on, we just kind of revisit the idea of turning them back on every few months or so.
Please noooooooo. So ugly and nasty, and makes threads unnecessarily huge. ------------------------------ Memorize this stuff Because you'll see it In every post I make
^^^ exactly why we dont have them (oh and the little thing of people put all sorts of stuff as their signature)
They have to make a thread about it in the admin section ,stew about it for a day or so then post up in here with a rejection speech. LOL sorry I had to :biggrin:
I personally can't stand signatures, but other message boards I frequent have the option of turning them on or off on your own screen (you can also turn off avatars too). If that were the case, I don't really see any reason to not have them.
Yep, you can shut them off in your user options. I'd be ok with turning them on if they were limited in size and no images. I don't know if we'd need to make rules about the content of the sig beyond the rules that are already in place for content on the site. /me goes off to bump thread in mod section. Yes, dream knows how things work around here.
agreed. limited to size, and no font larger than ____, maybe no colored text. frequently, I'm with bummpy, sites that allow images and an infinite amount of text in your sig, I just turn them off. but I like to be able to see signatures if they're kept a reasonable size.
no decision yet. my opinion is posted, waiting for other mods to chime in. anyway, lunch is almost over, time for me to get back to work.
So if theres an option to turn them on and off per profile settings. Why cant we have them on for good and the haters can keep them turned off. Sigs can help some of the morale around here.
I dunno bout that now... the problem is/was/will always be with sigs is that they're too hard to monitor, if someone changes it to something bizarre then we have to go through and change it, give the person points, listen to criticism and then end up right back here. FWIW to me it doesnt matter muhc since I have always ignored them or had something really short and stupid in mine, and always ignored everyone else's I don't care either way. I always turn them off at any website I ever go to anyways, i don't consider this to be a big deal, but hey, I have never appreciated them in the first place so what do i know...
If they can be turned off, you're right... who cares? I personally hate them. You have to sift through all kinds of trash just to find out that the thread sucks. Even worse would be looking at the site on my Blackberry. I vote no.
If I had to make a vote one way or the other I would say I vote no. I don't give a crap what color your car is or what the whp is every time you post.
looking @ the internet on your phone is retarded. what's even more retarded is the minority suddenly demanding that an internet website be formatted so it looks decent on their ****ing phone. :roll:
I'd love to see your view on this in, say, 3-5 years. Small devices coupled with insane wireless speeds will just take over. "LOL BBSes are for dorks. No one wants to communicate with other people on the internet!"
I started this thread because, I like to see what people are driving. I never wanted big sigs. just a little sentence about your car. If you do not want to see them, than turn them off. I would also like to thank prezawagon, for keeping a open mind about this topic, unlike some others.
Shouldn't that be included in the profile? Most forums list it right under the avatar spot on the left.
Come on 3rik, lets get'em... It only took 196 post over the course of 6 months to get animated avatars back. Ben started this in september so we are 4 months and 153 post away from sigs being turned back on... lol... I liked seeing little tid bits about ones car, or a funny one liner when reading the forums. The ones that used it seemed to keep it fresh so it was not the same thing forever... so what do you say mods, can we have them back?
:lollol: animated avatars and now signatures? What's next, freedon of speech?:laugh: kidding seriously though, we talked about it recently and decided to hold off for now.
