Limiting Signature use

JJJ · 09-28-2004, 04:14 PM

How about limiting the signature space? To 3 rows of text or something.
1200*2400 pics and 300 lines of text is really annoying on a laptop, and its makes for a much slower reading of the posts.

Honk if you are with me people. :honkingpurplesmileywithsunglasses:

Rocco32 · 09-28-2004, 04:17 PM

If that's a problem for you, you can choose not to show signatures.

**Jodi** · 09-28-2004, 04:18 PM

It use to be that way. I preferred it instead of scrolling through pages of sigs

**Prince** · 09-28-2004, 04:23 PM

other than asking members to limit sigs there is nothing within the board software that allows this, I could restrict sigs to text and no images, or turn them off completely, but I think there would be many complaints.

so, if they bother you I guess I would suggest that you go into your user cp and turn off sigs so you do not see them at all.

Not allowing sig's makes things a lil' more work site WSF too ...

Not to me ... I live in the town graced by this sig.

I agree! RD, right after the upgrade, the sig's were limited. If your sig was more than the space, it had a scroll bar. That way you could see it if you wanted, but would not take up all the real estate otherwise.

PreMier · 09-28-2004, 06:40 PM

The scroll bar was gay. Only HUGE ass sigs bug me. Like Camaro's

The only ASS sig I see in this thread is shutupntra1n's, but you won't hear me complaining.

PreMier · 09-28-2004, 08:24 PM

Well, hers isnt a 'huge ass' so its all good

I have signatures turned off in my user options. Some sigs were getting friggin rediculous.

Vieope · 09-29-2004, 11:57 AM

The problem is that some signatures are very useful. I think it should be limited.

**Prince** · 09-29-2004, 12:00 PM

as I said, there is no control in this board software to limit them, and I really do not have the time or desire to police member's sigs.

That is why you need a signature moderator.

How about just making it a rule/recomendation, I really think that most people would respect it without any policeing.

JJJ · 09-29-2004, 03:51 PM

Anyhow, it was just a suggestion in the "Suggestion Box" guess you can not please everbody.

Atleast we got camaro to remove most of his 1/4 mile signature ;-)

Rocco32 · 09-29-2004, 04:05 PM

I liked Camaro's sig

gr81 · 09-29-2004, 08:11 PM

fucc limiting sigs, thats cencorsihp dammit! if you don't like em, then turn them off, don't ruin it for the rest of us!

Var · 09-30-2004, 03:20 PM

Sigs are fine the way they are. Why's it so difficult for people who dont like it to just turn them off????

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
