Hello all

I'm a member of a couple of other forums so am familiar with how they work etc. I've looked in the FAQ and done a search but to no avail.

How do I go about giving myself a signature for my posts? I'm starting to think there isn't an option on here as nobody seems to have one? No avatar option either?

Cheers all, hope I'm not being too dumb

Sigs are off IIRC


Id pay my scoobynet subscription if I could display a sig

what would scooby do

Yup no sigs or avatars here (mainly 'cos they are ghey)

BBS has Sigs turned off. A good thing when some bbs'es out there let people use images as sigs, talk about killing bandwith!

TelBoy

No signatures or avatars thank you.

If they were allowed you'd still have the choice to turn them off.

LeoZ

Sorry for posting in the wrong section!

Most boards use sigs which are hosted on another server anyway, mine is on my Blueyonder webspace so doesn't such any bandwidth from any forums I'm on.

thanks for the replies tho peeps

Signatures get on my nerves to be honest - the screen just gets full of junk and you can't tell the signatures from the replies - leave them off I say, but I don't have anything against avatars.

As long as you don't go overboard with them, they are ok. Also useful when posting problems etc as you don't have to continually say what car you have. Also the pics make it pretty :-P (But can be a pain for 56k'ers)

OK give avatars an 80x80 pixel limit and 20k size limit, theres are useful in identify posters, perhaps limit avatars to scoobynet subscribers?

Redkop

I think avatars and sigs are awful!

fuz

yea it would be like the ford site eh Red

Redkop

I know - sigs annoy me intensely

messiah

Allowing signatures usually means that the threads become all sigs and no content - I find it annoying having to sift through whats on screen to find the next relevant post.

Avatars are fine if limited to a set size like Jaybird UK says but sigs should be reserved for Saxo / Corsa forums...

Jaybird-UK

so mods, any chance of avatars?

Jaybird-UK

Paid up anyway, any chance of avatars for members?

Jaybird-UK

umm the beauty of VB is you can turn them off.... thus keeping those that want and those that dont both happy.

But I'd settle for avatars (against switchable) say a sensible limit of 80x80 and 30k?
