While I'm sure most people have some creative sigs in their profiles there is one thing that with this new upgrade I was wondering about.

Can you finally disable sigs to only show once per page instead of being spammed with big ass images of people and places that most people could care less about?

A sig is meant to be that, just a sig with maybe a small image but not an overblown image of someone doing something somewhere else that only the poster seems to care about. I like to read and enjoy the forums without having to rollerbad so much past people posting oversized multiple images in their profiles.

Nobody cares that much how you love Terry Bogard. We all know this but having a freaking image or flash animation eating up bandwith is not how you endear yourself to a lot of people.

It wasn't cool years ago and it's not cool now.

You can turn them off. Just go to the UserCP link at the top left of the page, and click on the "Edit Options" link under "Settings & Options". Scroll down a bit and you'll see the checkbox labeled "Show Signatures". Uncheck it and click the save button at the bottom.

Edit: Average Joe beat me to it.

Okay, I have to ask this. What program is it that people use to take screen shots of their computer screens like this?

Biblio - if you have a Windows based computer, all you need to do is hit the Print Screen button and it copies your current screen. Then you just paste it into any program that handles images: Photoshop, or even MS Paint.

I can't find where you edit your location anymore.

I don't think you can. IIRC the location field was in the "Edit Profile" section in the User CP, which they seem to have taken away; if you look at anybodys profile, all the personal information is gone (biography, occupation, age, etc.).

I've had sigs turned off for years.

If I wasn't sure we'd here some whining ninnies complain, I'd have them eliminated altogether --but the strong argument against is that some jackasses would just start pasting their former sigs into the bottom of each of their posts, a la "Later, shir0"...

lol, that's why the car forum I usually visit just eliminated the use of vB image tags all together.

I don't really care how big somebody's sig is anymore because I now have SafariBlock which allows me to manually pick which images I don't want to see anymore as well as blocking annoying flash advertisements.

I like your sig.

Don't delete sigs.

Cant the software actually limit the size? Some ninnies like me think some people have useful info in their sigs. Others don't.

electricgrave's sig needs a SERIOUS neutering.
