If the pictures get annoying enough, hopefully they'll be banned, too. Hey, if it were up to me there would be no sigs at all, but that's another story.

re: hey, now, why aren't colors allowed in sigs....

people bitched about them because they were too lazy to scroll by the sigs. if you would like to thank someone for this inconvinience, send a PM to namo. but be carful you don't use any HTML in the PM, or he will report you.

Thank you, Namo.

And yes, I actually mean that. It's not a matter of "laziness," AbbaRabbit. I'm here to read messages, not stare at the same distracting sigs over and over again. If you have pretty pictures, put them in your fan photos or profile. Don't have a sig that detracts from the main purpose of the board, which is the messages.

if you're here to read messages, there is a feature that makes it so you don't see people's sigs. use it.

well, if you're going to complain.... and besides, you're here for the messages, so you wouldn't mind not seeing the short ones, right?

i don't get what color has to do with anything. a lot of the sigs with color were short, and whether they're in color or not doesn't affect the length. if people were complaining about the length, shouldn't there be a length limit instead of no color?

re: hey, now, why aren't colors allowed in sigs....

people weren't complaining about the length untill that happened (no one said anything about tiff's page long sig, which was about twice the size of mine) they were complinaing about scrolling marquees, so all HTML except bold, italics, underlines, and links have been disabled.

I'd be happy to pull up everything I had in my previous signature. It was actually several lines shorter than your present one. (And for the record, my present one is 10 lines.)


"What do you do with a BA in Criminology?"

Type_A_Tiff + Bono ~ April 28, October 8 & 11, 2005.

"Need some wood?" - G.W. Bush comes onto John Kerry, Oct 8, 2005.

"[insert 3 lines of "outamydoodle"'s quote about me eating her muffin, whose thread has already been deleted so I can't pull it up]"


That's 9 lines versus your present 14. Not to mention mine weren't giving people epileptic seizures with all the scrolly, blinky mess (and who's going to complain about poking fun at Outamydoodle and Dubya?). I don't mean to nitpick, I'm just saying, since I got dragged into this...

Who are you referring to?

I don't have an issue with long signatures (although someone had a full block of 10-line text, which was a bit dizzying). Colors - particularly rainbow-brite colors that scroll - not only make my (and others') eyes hurt, but significantly slow down my computer when I'm trying to scroll past it and wind up freezing my frame.

Oh okay, I just didn't know who you were referring to when you started the thread. You can put pictures in a signature? re: hey, now, why aren't colors allowed in sigs....


ETA: Just saw it. Oy. Well then, I suppose you can have colors allowed in your sig...if you care to take a screencap of it and post it in your signature!

*signature size


And strangely, I don't remember anyone making a dig at the length of people's signatures, except for Abba, in order to go, "Yeah, well...if you're mad at MY signature, l-l-look at Tiff's! Nofaaair!" *yawn*
