Really long signatures are annoying to look at and aren't funny.

Wow look, I made a summary of everything I wanted to say in the title. I don't even need this first post but I'm taking it anyway.

i used to have all my quotes in 'quote' tags, but that made my sig about 3x longer than any of my posts, so i remaved the tags and made the font really small

I agree, which is why my signature is two words, and is also why I have signatures disabled for myself.

On my computer my sig shows up as two lines. Works for me.

The worst are the ones with multiple quote boxes.

I'm looking at you, HC Eredivisie.

I had the 'dont care, don't care' as my sig for ages, and it's still there only there is now random small print underneath. Some of it links, some of it is just random comments. It changes every so often if anyone has been following, although it hasn't changed in the last few weeks.

You make your sig however you want it. I was just giving you a hard time.

Okay, I fixed it anyway since it wasn't a part of the other quote.

Not as bad as some other ones. I have signatures disabled, so I don't have to look at them. I think anyone who really has a problem with people's long signatures should just disable them for their own viewing.

Actually, we ask that they be limited to eight lines or less, including linefeeds. Those massive quotes are too long.

Pure Metal and HC Eredivisie, I would appreciate it if you would both shorten yours. There may be others I haven't looked at (I too have sigs turned off by default), so feel free to bring yours into compliance too.

But I like my sig! It's not that big. I thought we were allowed eight lines of normal-sixed text as a max.

EDIT: As it says in the post directly above mine. :rolleyes:

I didn't know that that rule existed. I will change it now.

Which means you can't see my great sig that I worked so hard on? Tsk! :D

I've never been able to get any of those fancy-schmancy features to work for Dobbs Town. No fonts, no italics, no colours, sigs, or smilies.

But I agree. It's irritating to see a one or two word response with a paragraph contained in the sig.

Less is more.

Well I can look at it through your public profile, and while it is very nice, for each good looking signature, there are 50 crappy, obtrusive ones.

See, I'd do that for nothing, but you didn't ask me... :D

I don't feel my sig is excessive, but I might take a little off it.

wow i never turn on sigs... its nice to see em for a change :)

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN IS NOT IN THE CLOTHES SHE WEARS, THE FIGURE THAT SHE CARRIES, OR THE WAY SHE COMBS HER HAIR. THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN MUST BE SEEN IN HER EYES, BECAUSE THAT IS THE DOORWAY TO THE HEART, THE PLACE WHERE LOVE RESIDES

you know what? i totally agree with that... its all in the eyes :)

Signatures can be good if they have great quotes in them. I guess it's ok to include your political compass as well. Anyway that's why I like my own sig.

I like sigs to be short and sweet. Its a impression of yourself to give to other posters, not a frigging resume.
