Hi, guys! The amended sigs look great...just wanted to give a big thumbs-up to you!

The "one sig per thread" is a great idea...I just don't think it's that realistic, though, in the long run. It will probably last for about 15 minutes, until everyone forgets to check off the little box before hitting "Reply" because, by default, sigs are enabled. When you're in the heat of posting, it's hard to remember to turn that off.

So don't worry too much about that. Try to keep the massive sigs down as much as possible, but don't lose sleep over it.

Yeah is there any way you or Z can "disable" that "Reply" because, by default, sigs are enabled" ARE enabled? Only wondering! And it is working great in "Ironworks Online RolePlaying" but it is not so mutch people there as in GD but way not give it a trie Zaz?

I know *I* can't...that would be Ziroc's province, but I think it would require a complicated mod to the UBB code.

I prefer the default last time, when sigs were not enabled by default. It can be a minor bother when you have to edit your post simply because you forgot to uncheck the radiobox.

Megabot · 07-11-2002, 11:18 AM

Ok Saz i shall "trie" to remember to turn of the sig anyway so let`s se how it will work out it seems that Avi and Mel and some other people here think this is great so lets hope it works to turn of the sig`s when we post! LOL

Maby Lady Blue also follow this if she want!

I doubt i'll bother to uncheck the show sig button very often.
But then my sig is quite small nowadays.
I dont think its very overpowering.
It seems to me that when you have a bunch of text in your sig
you are just posting the same thing over and over again, in a way.
I know i for one dont read all that stuff. I may read it once, but thats it.

Sir Mandorallen · 07-11-2002, 08:15 PM

Mine was huge, now that I really look at it.
Twelve lines total, not counting the picture. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

So, I shaved off six lines from mine, but I'm not sure...

Is it still too big??

slackerboy · 07-11-2002, 08:56 PM

well here's how i see it.

So in the end was all of that neccissary?
When i see your sig, i can see your picture.
I know its you, then i see a bunch of text
that i have to scroll past. Does it help

do that.
And hey, i'm not picking on you in particular. you were just the last post

. i have nothing against you, lots of peoples sigs could be filled in just the same. Thats just how I see the whole sig issue.

Loumistro · 07-11-2002, 09:06 PM

Well I am not sure if this was suggested or not. But on the Wizards and Warriors Thread we only post our sig once per thread. mainly because reading and seeing the same thing over and over just gets boring.

Very good point slackerboy! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I agree wholeheartedly....

but, umm... there kinda is reasoning to my madness.

The G.A. (Although, it isn't very likely to take over the world) really does exist. I have recruited on this forum and have several followers. I also have some people from other forums and alot from my home town.

The part "join now and be rewarded" is our motto, and the titles are simply titles. People who are on this site and are part of the G.A. have put in their own titles as well. Its kinda like a clan, (umm... in a way.) I mean, why put that you are a member of the suchandsuch clan. I already know that, why have useless titles like---

"big, badboy wizard of the crazed clan"
I don't need to re-read it a hundred times.

I would'nt have kept those things there if they didn't mean something to ME.
And maybe thats what is important. If your sig means something to YOU.

Or maybe I'm nuts... who knows. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and slackerboy, don't worry, I'm not offended.

You just used me and my sig as an example for a good point.
I hope I didn't offend YOU in any way with this post, though.
