+shift. MVC Posted June 17, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 17, 2009 a) There's a limit to how big signatures can be anyway. And if someone happens to have a huge signature, a mod will usually change it for them and leave a kind message telling them why their signature was removed. b) What "Click Me" ads? c) I don't get why this was made into a thread.

What's the problem? You don't like sigs, fine, turn them off. This feels more like you're on a mission to remove them completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimsland Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hmm, ... I am I'm on a mission to reduce the size of the signatures, and one of the line of defenses I will use is the hit count of this topic (expected in the thousands) Presently neowin topics are opening much quicker for me as well, funny about that :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah, I turned them off a long time ago, members have very annoying signatures, i don't need to read that ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimsland Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hooray :) I am not alone ! Please voice your opinion if you don't like these large sigs Hmm I should have created a Poll, damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewJW Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 To be honest I barely notice them. What does annoy me is on some forums, there is little definition between the actual post and the start of the users signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplecookie Veteran Posted June 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think they help show sides of members we rarely get to see. I enjoy seeing signatures...just not ones over our size limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimsland Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I understand that point of "community" within neowin But maybe it could be a drop down box, or possibly just reduced in size I also believe that the "regulars" here may be use to it, and therefore do not see the issue But when I started reading the replies, I couldn't believe that the Sig was bigger (and bolder) than the reply itself. That seems a little strange to me, and possibly also to every other new member (or old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted June 17, 2009 Member Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks but I turned off sigs a few days after I got here. I am working on a newer, smaller sig but I'm just not much in that sort of thing any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey_snake Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I haven't seen sigs in forever, as the limit is about twice as tall as I personally think it needs to be. Tall sigs cause too much page whitespace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sig leaves a huge amount of whitespace, because the rest of your profile info pushes the table down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted June 18, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2009 I like having sigs there - It breaks the posts up and it gives members a way of being a bit creative. One bit of logic I don't get though: Who do not want to see CLICK ME ads all over the place!, and just want to read the posts Click HERE to find out howto to turn off these annoying signatures under member's posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted June 18, 2009 Member Share Posted June 18, 2009 I made my new sig a wee bit smaller. Happy now? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_here Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 If you think some Neowin members' sigs are big, you need to visit more forums. Thanks for the guide though, Im going to browse the forums with sigs disabled and see whats its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azusa Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Incredibly large sigs FTW Edited June 18, 2009 by yurithedragonhalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchmo Bevins Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I <3 sigs! I read them all. Some change daily, some stay the same. Some suck, 99% don't. But all give out more about the people around here than one can glean from their posts. Sigs add to the fabric of Neowin. They do not detract. Sigs FTW!! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
