All I can say is no, no, absolutely NO to forum signatures. Having been a moderator on a fairly large site before I can say that they are nothing but trouble and the last thing I want to see is here is signatures. They're nothing but vehicles for spamming, advertisement, and other such crap. They're unnecessary and would clutter up forum posts and detract from the *real* content of a post/reply. (Can you tell I hate them? I was in charge for enforcing signature rules for almost the entire forum...ugh it was a *nightmare*.)

However, increasing the size for the avatars would be nice. 50x50 is so small....90x90 would be decent (but still no .gifs - animation, yuck).

Hey Bebi; not sure, was that a definite no to sigs.

However, increasing the size for the avatars would be nice. 50x50 is so small....90x90 would be decent (but still no .gifs - animation, yuck).


Would be nice, I agree about the gifs; allowing pngs would be nice.

I'm with Bebi......also, think of how much longer it would take to load a thread the size of, say, What Are You Workin On? if each post had a signature image attached to it on top of the ave and the preview of the work. Yikes.

My sentiments 100%.
I've seen some forum threads [not here, thankfully] where 90% of the text content was the various 'sigs'....generally effectively spamming self-promotion, often as inane and unsuitable as "my manhood rawks"....followed by some political dissertation about how Bush is an arsewipe and Mac users are all limp-wristed faggots [clumps of twigs].
Then the poster with the mostest BS then posts numerous comments as pithy and salient as 'lol' 'haha' 'ROFLMAO'.

That's not communication....it's farting by text.





Can you tell I hate them too?....

I agree with all the above as well, but I also think the avatar size is fine. Those can get out of hand also. Lets see it tested out....

a 90x90
a 64x64
a 50x50

I'd like to see 64 too.. it is a customization site, we could be more expressive with a few more pixels.. and i might be able to squeeze maxstyles.com onto one line !   

Signatures, waste of time and really slow down page loading.

I agree to larger avatars, I Believe they express personality per user.
But Signatures... they are just another way to Spam or waste valuable space.

By the way I like the 90x90 size, but the one below can do.

Last thing we need here is a bunch of obnoxious flashing gif avatars...bad enough we have people cluttering up threads with those awful things. Sure some people might know how to do it in moderation....but others don't.

So I take it nobody's up for flashing personal sigs or 90x90 avatars. Dammit, that carboshes me using summat that really expresses my handle/nick then!

I was wondering how I'd convey the waft of curried cabbage on line...thanks for the idea.

maybe I'm going out on a limb here...but shouldn't a good skinner be able to get expressive by desinging ANY size avatar and WITHOUT the annoying signatures...I mean, Hey..we're customizers....just customize the 50 X 50 square...consider it a challenge!

I vote for 64 x 64 Avatar

Then I get a bigger Squiggle

( animated avatars are cool - I have same Avatar on DA and it has a little twinkle - nothing flashy - but animation slows down the pages )

Well It seems mostly everyone voted for 64x64 , but not for sigs (which is a good thing). Ah well... maybe SD will be generous and give us another forum upgrade.
