Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:48 pm Post subject: Signatures are TOO F_ING BIG NOW
Guys
where the hell did all this comefrom.
I remember (its not blaming, but identifying the start of the trend) Hellblazer started with the 2 signatures for 2 differnent sites, Xhq and PCHq because he was an admin, and the only admin on PCHq. So I can understand that.
Now, we are dealing with them for saying you are a VIP member. WHO NEEDS 2 sigs saying they are VIP.
WE KNOW ALREADY!
To me, and everyone else using a smaller screen to access this site daily have to honestly, deal with more and more bullshit in the forums. I have to scroll twice as long to get to the next amount of text. Then, if the same guy reposts in the same topic, I am scrolling down for about half a day.
We all can't have a nice 30" Apple Cinema Display (but not saying you do) but guys with 19 and 20 inches forget about guys like me on a 13.3 macbook screen.
I have mentioned the notion of GET THIS ***** ANIMATED GIFS *****.
You can put 2 or more sigs in just one post, and it DOESN"T LOOK TACKY!
There are several programs out there, and i am sure you can find some free ones at sourceforge.net, But Jasc Animation Shop (bundled with Jasc Paint Shop Pro) works like a dream and is really easy.
I am uploading a screenshot (I forget who its of, you are not to blame, but i am using you as an example) I left it at full size to illustrate my point.
AT THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW
I propose (like all other forum sites have) regulations and rules on Signatures. B/c before you know it, I or another person won't be able to read the damn forums, its like showboating in football. Everyone is worried about their finish.
There should be a restriction on size and the number (unless you are using the tabs, there can be more b/c they are so incredibly small)
I am not mad at anyone, I just hate being inconvenienced. And I know i am not the only one. I have asked hobbs about restrictions before but we never got around to talking about anything.

Long time no see Shortacid, good to see you haven't changed...lmao
Yeah the sigs have gotten a bit extreme, and there is no reason why anyone would need multiple sigs. You can add whatever you want to 1 sig as long as your post doesnt take up a page by itself. _________________

Hypnotix
Its not your fault in anyway bro. Please dont apologize.
I needed you as an example, I know you were working on your sigs lately and playing with them. Thats cool, and no probs.
Its just everyone else who insists they need 2 or more.
Once again, i know you weren't purposely doing it, i was following your other thread on sigs.
Its just a few people around here whose sigs I just get tired of seeing on a daily basis. I loathe trolling the forums on my macbook b/c of it.
Enigma, Whats up man. yea I know long time, and the first big post is a gripe right?
Hey do you do verizon phones over there at the mall, mine is on the fritz and want to have it checked out. I moved even further from there now, I am over near Waterford Lake mall...god i hate that place. Who thought an open air mall would be a good idea?!?!
Hypnotix, your cool, please don't sweat the fact i used yours...i needed to people to see what i was dealing with, and yours was the largest at that moment. Its sort of like the government using an exaggeration to get your attention. Like your brain on drugs is eggs in a frying pan.
Pirrup. Are you on in your afternoons still. I see you on, but i always figure you are busy. _________________ XBOX v1.6

Hey man, if you didn't do that then it wouldn't be you. That was Modgod's job, but you pretty much took that position to a new level..
Good to see ya back, even if it is ranting and raving.... _________________

Thats what they are called. Thanks, i was wondering, I always called them tab signatures. I am sure everyone got the idea though. But I will definitely call them...is it "Usebars" or "userbars"?

No need to apologise mate..
Shortacid is just letting us know what he thinks.
I have to agree actually.
We have to set a standard for sigs..
