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.

The very guidelines you linked to prohibit 'huge' sigs, as well as CLICK ME ads. 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.

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

Yeah, I turned them off a long time ago, members have very annoying signatures, i don't need to read that ****.

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.

I think they help show sides of members we rarely get to see. I enjoy seeing signatures...just not ones over our size limit.

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)

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.

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.

Your sig leaves a huge amount of whitespace, because the rest of your profile info pushes the table down.

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:

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.

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:
