If you see someone with a large signature then please PM me. I have been slowly working my way through VJ requesting removal or reduction as large siggys (or more than 2 pictures) are not encouraged by admin.

Thanks everyone.

Is there not an option to not view signatures?

MY CONTROLS; OPTIONS; BOARD SETTINGS; CHOOSE VIEW SIGNATURES OR DON'T.

Mags, please don't cow tow to the whiners. Point people to how to turn viewing signatures off.

But is it really whining when some people have 53927592757239573295792 huge glittery photos in their siggy that take up the whole screen? I enjoy seeing people's timelines I just get irritated by the enormous glittery blinking seizure inducing photos.

Ok, maybe it's whining, but still

I do have signatures turned off, which has overall improved my browsing experience although I would occasionally like to be able to view certain people's signatures.

I've never understood why people have large signatures. Who does it benefit? It makes some computers slow down tremendously, it makes browsing the forums on a smaller screen very awkward. A picture is rarely funny or cute enough to view more than a couple of times. Mostly, though, I just think the signatures are unhelpful and distracting, especially on a forum like this to which people come for mainly for advice. The signatures are fine in the Off Topic forums but get in the way (in my experience) of trying to read the serious, 'On Topic' forums.

I too enjoy a timeline but flashy flashy NO!! NO!! NO!!

Hate to bump this, but is there some sort of middleground we can do with sigs? Like maybe eliminate images altogether from them, or maybe have it so your first post (I've seen this in some forums) in the topic is the only one that includes sig?

I say this because sometimes it's like I have to read through a bunch of the same sigs just to read the topic, and I don't really want to have to disable it like I am now as the timelines in sigs are very useful/helpful (as well as some sigs which give great links/information).

Just a thought.

I know a certain "alien" who needs to chill the hell out on his siggy images. Takes up half a page.

[IAMX 3,055]

I never really paid attention to names, just the frequency and annoyance of having to scroll through signatures just to read the topic.

Or, at very least, maybe we can limit a LOT more the space used in sigs?

My annoyance does not stem from the content of the signatures (though I do find some of them highly annoying).... it stems from the signatures which are so large that their posts end up having a wrap which extends beyond the screen size, therefore making it impossible to read their words unless you scroll to the right. Turning off signatures would not change this.

Wonder away, but it has nothing to do with sigs.
