Long signatures

[Dourgrim]

This is more of a strongly-worded suggestion than a discussion topic, but it's something that's really been bugging me lately.

Please

, people, if you want to have a long, multi-line signature as part of your Profile, I have no problem with that... but take a moment to shrink down the font so it's not so huge and distracting. It's an annoyance... not an earth-shattering one, but an annoyance nonetheless. With me specifically, I find it hampers my ability to accurately vote-count (which I happen to be abysmal at anyway, thankyouverymuch ).

Don't mean to be rude with this... just a pet peeve I had to get off my chest. As the Bartles & Jaymes guys used to say, "Thank you for your support."

What the HELL is your problem Dour? Man, you're so damn agressive. Jeeesus H. Where the hell do you get off taking that tone, huh? Did somone die and pretend you're president?

I mean you can't even see my sig it's so small.

<<<Doesn't have a sig ;P

[mathcam]

It's too bad you can't make small smiley faces.

[Cadmium]

Yes, you can

.

[mathcam]

Oh. Um. Just a typo. I meant..."too bad you can't spontaneously combust at will." Prove me wrong, Camium. Prove me wrong.

Coming soon: The ability to not display signatures...

It'll happen the same time I add the option to not display avatars...

a limit to the signature lenght would be better. like 50 pxels of height for example. That would be about 3 lines with normal font or 4 with small. Probably a lot more with the extra small font. I don't likethe "don't display sigs" idea because tey might have something useful on them, like "sign up for [theme] mafia!"

[jeep]

Then people will miss out on those "important" things. I personally dislike sigs and try to never read them. There shouldn't ever be anything of great importance in them. If you like them, then you can view them, that's why I'm making it an option...

I like reading sigs... usually. I only get cranky about multi-line sigs that end up overpowering the rest of the post. I'd be seriously torn as to whether or not to view sigs if that were an option.

Then there should be some international law that your sig can't have more than X lines, then, eh?

I can't wait until that avatar size limit comes out too....

Heh heh, if you copy and paste the text, you can read that little blurb, Quag.

Yes, you can damnit. You want &#^@%$* prove of it? And you can't even spell my &$^%#*@ name right. Don't make me get over there to kick your ^#%$@*& ass ...

Uhm, what's that? ...

Burn ?

And if you press the quote button, Quagmire.

[vIQleS]

There is a limit to sig size... That's why mine isn't multicoloured... Even tho its not too big, as soon as i add color codes it is..

I find sigs distracting when i'm skimming or speed reading, when they're the same size and or stlye as the body of text, i tend to automatically read them. If they are smaller and different colours then it's easier to skip over them...

I personally think sig size should be restricted based on lines not chars...

(Or maybe area...)

[mathcam]

Or have a minimum humour/area factor. If it's big, it better be damn funny.

Cadmium, don't think of it as a typo. Think of it as a suggestion.

or pressing the "quote" button.

[d8P]

ECHO!

[Dragon Slayer]

HAHAHA!!! I don't know if anyone remembers but I had a really long sig complaining about how people always use long sigs and then when you finish reading you think "Well that was a waste of time". Meanwhile by the end of reading this long long LONG sig you realize the same thing.

[Gaspode]

I was about to post the same thing....

*hits DS over the head again for that abomination*

[mathcam]

Agreed. I remember it...all-too-well...

[Cadmium]

Cadmium, don't think of it as a typo. Think of it as a suggestion.

Oh okay, I'll consider it . So now there's only one problem left, choosing between the following:

[quote="In the "Long Signatures"-thread, mathcam"]Prove me wrong, Camium.[/quote]
[quote="In the "Shrek Mafia"-thread, Totem"]Cadminum :I agree with you about the dragon and about DB[/quote]
[quote="In the "Mafia 13"-thread, CoolBot"]So what does Cadium & mathcam do?[/quote]

[mathcam]

Heh. Who knew cadmium was so hard to spell? Though there's something beautiful about that "cam" term in one's name that would seem to make your decision easy.

What about siggypic's? *pets siggy* no no ones gonna get rid of you sweety, no one and if they do i'll just shrink you down a little bit and if they change the sigs to only have lines i will put up a memorial to you on there *stops petting siggy*

[Dragon Phoenix]

Seeing that you brought it up yourself, I do not like it. Certainly not in this size.

[blackhawk]

man, now i'm gonna have to resize it and everything i my sig
