Would anyone actually miss their signature if it was gone?

This new format has made it easier to see that some people have some ridiculously large signatures. Half of the text on the page are people's signatures in most cases.

I think you would get better results if you just asked a magic 8ball.

 

[SkaredShtles]

How about we leave the sigs and go back to the old format?

Please?

 

[JRB]

I'm cool with 100 characters.

 

[zahgurim]

I'm not partial to my sig, but i like the old format better.
Now all the room beside the picture is empty space, instead of a thread reply. Too mutch scrolling now...

 

[Westy]

Signatures are nice when you are trying to sell things. Make them an option for Premium Members.

How about we leave the sigs and go back to the old format?

Please?

and fix search!

 

[Konabumm]

100 char sounds good

AND limit the signature to 100 characters and normal sized font....

 

[laura]

i've had them on ignore for years.

 

[mobius]

Go back to the old style the new style is to big and to much empty space. especially when people post up like one sentence replies the space is bigger then what they say.

 

[Wumpus]

i've had them on ignore for years.

Exactly. If you don't like them, turn them off.

 

[narlus]

i think that large, animated GIFs should be mandatory in everyone's sig file.

 

[motomike]

alot of people use their signatures as a way to promote their sponsors, mainly DH forum guys. Cutting back on characters would be good IMO.

 

[Tenchiro]

I think you should enable images in signatures. Just limit them to something like 400px x 50px.

 

[Ridemonkey]

This is a poll to eliminate or pare down signatures not make them bigger!

I don't like the idea of having so much in a sig. Every thread is 50% quotes from other threads.

 

[N8 v2.0]

I likey!

 

[corey_rideDC]

i would be in favor of limited chars and size1 font

 

[Ridemonkey]

K, length is down to 100 characters. I'd go with 50, but I know there would be whiners.

As for size, that's going to have to be manually enforced for now, as there's no option for that in the software yet.

 

[Echo]

The 100 characters is nice for people who put links and stuff.

 

[Angus]

I don't mind a size restriction, but total elimination is like censorship in a way. To some the signature is a way to express themselves, and as DH Laura mentioned if they annoy you, ignore them.

 

[PatBranch]

I guess 100 is okay. I like to show my bike w/ the parts becasue when I am talking about it, I don't have to list the parts spec each time.

I also like to promote AMBP.

 

[Ridemonkey]

I don't have a problem with a little self-expression in sigs, I just find it annoying when people take it to the extreme, and have 8 lines of sig, in a huge font.

 

[BikeGeek]

I don't mind a size restriction, but total elimination is like censorship in a way.

You're kidding, right?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Limit them. If possible turn off the RTF. Don't know if 100 is the right number or not.

 

[Ridemonkey]

You're kidding, right?

You said what I was thinking.

I understand wanting to link to what you're selling. When I get the classifieds finished I'll see if I can work in a way to have your listings show up somehow.

 

[Tenchiro]

Hmm, I can't save my current sig as it is over the limit, but if I don't change it, it looks like it can stay.

 

[narlus]

not that i really care, but does the 100 character limit include formatting code?

 

[corey_rideDC]

i'm pretty sure it doesn't. some of the links in my sig are rather long and it saved out okay.

 

[Ridemonkey]

Not sure to be honest...I don't think so. Try it and find out

 

[BMXman]

I think they should be limited to 100 and only to premium members....but why is there so much space below my sig?...I have to scroll a lot more now.....D

 

[berkshire_rider]

How come the posts - especially the single line ones - are all top justified, including the sig area and there's lots of blank space at the bottom of each post using IE 6? The sigs. used to be at the bottom, regardless of post line quantity. The attached pic. shows how I am seeing the posts.

 

[kinghami3]

I like the sigs, but maybe limit the font size cause there's a couple annoyingly big sigs out there. There's a lot of dead space in the new format. Maybe under the name, reformat it so the the P and the IM icons are next to the avitar, so that the post is vertically smaller and there's not as much dead space.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I don't like it! Change it back, or fix the space.I don't care about the sig restriction, but I don't like all that room. Does Firefox eliminate it?

 

[berkshire_rider]

Lets hope so. :mumble:

 

[PatBranch]

Firefox doesn't eliminate it. I can see the big blank spaces below signatures.

 

[Duffle]

The big space is there because of all the other info like your location, join date, avatar, etc. You'd have to scroll just as much whether it's aligned to the top or bottom.

 

[Roasted]

I like sigs. But cut them back to a smaller size.

 

[hooples3]

I think a signature gives others more information about the person. or sometimes they are just good for a laugh. they make people less ordinary, and add character. but I guess limiting the length would be ok

 

[Slugman]

I think they should be limited to 100 and only to premium members....

I can see Premium members getting more for their $20... but to start taking away stuff unless you become a Premium member is just not cool.
