Could everybody please do me a favor try and shorten your signatures if you have more than 3 quotes - try and keep them to 3 quotes or less.. Also, you don't have to post your signature file more than once per topic - it does not make much sense to a one line reply then post your entire signature again.

I don't want to eliminate the signature option but at the same time I hope everybody can shorten them if they are really long and not post them more than once per topic. Thanks!

I know this may sound snotty...but it isn't how i meant for it to sound...but why is it such a big deal for the signature to be over 3 quotes?

because these are not 'free' message boards, I have to pay to host them and once I reach a certain level of space and bandwith I will pay even more.. plus it is just annoying to read a one word reply then scroll through a whole page of quotes in somebody's signature file. The little 3 1-line quotes aren't a problem, it's the signatures with quotes/scenes which take up a whole page or 3/4 of the page. I know they give people an identity or personality, I just don't want to see them overused.

I think it's a simple request everybody can follow, the other option would be to disable them entirely.

I don't even look at a person's signature line and quotes. I scroll right past that kind of stuff.

I'll stop using mine if it'll save you money,TJ. I don't want to cause trouble.
But to many people depend on their singnature for a picture so I'll sacrifice mine for theirs. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

No way. It's fine. Mine could be considered long and if anybody complains about mine, I can remove a pic.

Yeah keep the Spike & Drusilla pic and remove the other one ;)


:joke:


I'm changing my signature so it won't bother anyone. Plus I'm only going to post it once in a thread I post in.

I just wish Rainman would do that. His siggy bugs me.

That's just the problem. I mean if you have kind of a long sig, it isn't as bad if you only post it once per post. Yeah, I know I forget at times. I have gotten better with unclicking the sig option.

It's just annoying to scroll through a person's posts that posts the sig every single time. My computer is slow and I'm sure some people have even slower computers. I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I'll shut up. :D

Yea, I agree. Ohh.. I have a really bad habit of forgetting to unclick the sign. thing. I started doing it a while ago and got into the habit of it, but then I had a really short sign. so I figured it didnt matter, but seeing how I constantly change my sign., I broke the habit. Its hard to remember sometimes. Ill try and be more careful!

Nah, your sigs never bothered me or my computer. It's the big ass pics like Rainman had that really slows my computer up.

AKF,

Your sig pic isn't showing up for me. Attach the pic to a post and right click on the pic and go to properties. Copy the link from properties and go to the User CP and go into the sig part and put the code there. Remember the [IMG] codes.

Your sig looks fine to me. I don't have to do hardly any scrolling with yours.
