PixilEyes Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 For the past week I experimented blocking signatures on Neowin. I personally discovered it allows me to read the threads a bit easier. How about the rest of the Neowin community? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I mostly identify people by their avatar/signature, so no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakes Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I leave them enabled. Only issues are on forums where they allow any size image and/or stupid animated GIFs. I usually click on links in sigs too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashG Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Nope, it somewhat helps identify people, unless they change them every day or so. :laugh: It's helpful in the Hardware Hangout section (if they have their machine specs in their sig), saves a couple of posts asking what hardware they have. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted February 2, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 2, 2010 Some links I've found through Sigs have been damned useful for me, so I leave it. It's always nice to see a great desktop pic etc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeley Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yep, just have. Since Atlas came to be I'm finding signatures to negatively impact the look and flow of the board. I leave avatars though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I keep avatar on and signatures off. I really hate them and find them to be useless. Also reading threads is much easier with them disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoXY Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Wait, you can turn signatures off? How do you do that? --edit-- nvm. Just figured it out. I like this feature! Makes the board easier to read :D Is this new in IPB3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikh Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I dont mind sigs because im always connected via a decent connection. But one thing I like about this site is, that they have Rappy, and I love to see rappys sig. You can always tell its rappy regardless of how much he changes his sig, but at the same time his sigs are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
