Hi all,

I've noticed that more and more people are using their signature for showing their ride - which is a good thing. I do however, have some concerns about the physical size of some of these signatures. Sometimes a thread needs a lot of scrolling over signatures, just to read the messages in between. This of course does not profit the readability of a thread.

So I kindly ask people to review their own signature and perhaps size them down a bit.

I was also wondering how people would feel about if we all agreed to use signatures as less as possible in the Technical Discussion & Questions section. This section would benefit greatly from a larger readability... Just a thought.

Thanks for awakening us Cliff. I think mine is small enough. I will however watch myself for using it multiple times in each thread. I do it out of force of habit and because I love to show off my ride.

Cliff,

My sentiments exactly.

As a general rule of thumb, following what many members do, I use the signature in only the first post I make in a thread.

I'll try to not use it in the technical threads from now on.

makes sense.. will do!

what about sigs that are text only?

No probs with text only sigs. As long as they don't include the complete instructions for an engine swap or something...

Dang it! There go the plans for my next sig...

The first post of the thread sounds like a good Idea. As for me I usually post the sig on maybe 25% of my posts. Keeping it out of the Tech area would help since some subjects can get long and detailed.

Cliff, do you know how I can get all my South Park crew to line up next to eachother? I can only get them to line up one under another....

thanks

Got it. Just click edit on my post and copy everything above this sentence and paste into your sig.

Cliff, as I am new with this "not text"
signature thing, I am just enjoying
having been able to figure it out.

Needless to say, when I learn a new technique
that is easy to use on the internet, I want to
make sure that I get it down pat. They say that
practice makes perfect.

However, I do agree with you
that some of these signatures are
getting a bit out of hand. Far too
many people have very graphic intense
signatures (myself included, with my
rotating alien friend). Often this
causes the page to take an extreme
amount of time to load (especially for
smaller, older computers). I mean, we
have to reallize that YOU did this
for us, therefore we shouldnt take advantage
of this wonderfull oportunity to get together
and chat, swap tech talk, parts, and general
knowlege of fieros, politics, the sky, and even
women.

Therefore, I fully back your ernest
plea, to have us shorten out signatures
for better prosperity and sanctity of the
forum.

Whew... I hope everyone understands my viewpoint on this.
