Yeah, its cleaner without them.
I know lots of forum has signature, but I dun like to see repetition especially when ppl put pictures or write very long sentences in the signature column.
So I think its better dun have signature.
It makes the members of the forum looks more mature.

The main reason why there are no sigs is because people were putting there own websites in them and its against the forum policy for it. Dont bet on seeing it become available again.

it also:
a) slows the whole forum down.
b) slows the thread down that you're viewing if you put pics/animations in your post/signature.

I'm against signatures.

So am I. You don't really gain anything from seeing endless pictures of people's usernames in graphic form (usually).

As people have said most people use them for adverts anyway.

I think the default setting for number of posts per page is 50.. now imagine if each message is doubled in length because of a signature. I know you can change default length, but still.

MeDieViL, if you want a pic, get an avatar... i's that simple... :D

Karim
11-02-2005, 22:09
Atomykatt, our goddamn avatars are only 50x50 :|

They don't care, I've tried..

McKinley

I'm also against signatures so I'm glad we don't have them in here.
Our avatar size is a joke
at least 75x75

Karim
11-02-2005, 23:12
McKinley, after alot of negotiations with SFY it was either 50x50, smaller, or no avatars at all. So... ;)

badger
12-02-2005, 00:24
A simple text signature would be cool, sumink like 25 characters, but I agree with BrightSpark about the speed of the threads and the dumbass images people put in there signatures.

So Karim, there is no chance of larger avatars until we upgrade to a new forum? When we do eventually upgrade can we have rss feeds at the same time?

Karim
12-02-2005, 00:27
badger, I don't know if there's any upgrade in the near future. Administration does not think avatars and/or signatures are very useful features, I don't think we're getting more than what we have now.

badger
12-02-2005, 00:36
RSS feeds would help a lot, I did speak to Eldar about it a few months back and he said he liked the idea of it.......I even gave him a a link to a vBulletin page with a add-in.

ThreeX
12-02-2005, 00:39
excuse a dummy, but what´s RSS feeds?
and btw i like phpBB.. rather lean on resources and nice to work with.

badger
12-02-2005, 00:43
More info on RSS - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html

Basicly they are feeds of new posts from the site which can be viewed on a desktop application/newsreader or within another php script (ie the front page of mobile review).

The fact that having signatures turned on, and people having 3 paragraph long sigs makes the page twice as long. It's really annoying, especially as others have said, when people have images in them too.

sebset
12-02-2005, 08:14
Well, if you ask me my opinion, I would say that I do not absolutely agree. No signatures please! Signatures are the best way to pollute threads and it is not aesthetic :down:

Karim
12-02-2005, 13:11
sebset, signatures are not esthetic but nor is huge text ;) i've edited your post.

MR
12-02-2005, 19:47
Question from me?

I have an old signature in my profile. Would like to change that! But changing
my signature is not possible? Could someone switch the signature on only for
the profile itself. It could give more information of the person itself, but it
does not have to be seen in topics and forums.

Thanks!

MR

Karim
12-02-2005, 21:34
MR, I don't know if it's possible in the vBulletin system!

badger
12-02-2005, 22:23
Karim, Via a hack only I doubt it would be allowed by admin.

Vein
12-02-2005, 23:42
I have a nice 7610 keypad close-up, well, I have my avatar as a signature on another forum :p

Would be too messy though, I'd like to think this was a more mature forum but I guess people having signatures would ruin that idea :p

100x100 avatars would be adequate without ruining the forum :rotate:

Karim
13-02-2005, 00:28
Yes... But admins just don't like it

DUNGA
13-02-2005, 00:31
I hope they change their minds one day, resizing avatars is not always fun... I find nothing wrong with 100x100 avatars without losing maturity in this prestigious forum...

Karim
13-02-2005, 00:35
Avatars are not really essential. They're fun and nice and cute and blah, but not essential still... I kind of agree with the admins, in the end ;)

benji
13-02-2005, 02:30
I think the avatars are fine as they are, plus people like Noka6630 can't work out how to resize images :p

sebset

here is an exemple of signature.. I took it from howardforums.com. So, do you want all posts of this forum to become like this? :eek:

MR

NO SIGNATURES is my opinion!

But give persons the option to add a signature in the profile of a member. He/She can
make his or here story about him or hereself. That is nice. So all those major pictures
are only seen in the profile and not in topics.

We spend our whole lives trying to stop death. Eating, inventing, loving, praying, and fighting...killing. But what do we really know about death? Just that nobody comes back. But there comes a point in life, a moment, when your mind outlives its desires, its obsessions...and your habits survive your dreams. And when your losses...maybe death is a gift, you wonder...
