We need to come up with a signature policy!

[Indy_Guy_77]

Other forums that I'm a part of just have a set maximum amount of text that you can utilize...and I don't know of any others I'm a part of that allows graphics at all, save for the regular board utilized smilies.

I'm not sure how much functionality comes with the software package that runs these forums, but in my opinion it would be nice to browse the threads with no signatures... Also on the left side of each post, the join date, location, post count, rep, and status buttons, all take up a significant amount of space. As a viewer, it would be nice to have the option to "turn off" that stuff (eliminating signatures and downsizing the name area to maybe just name, title, status)

That being said, thanks for running a great forum, Fenway!

If it were possible for the VIEWER (member) to set their preferences to view or not view signatures (or images over a certain acreage) that would be great. Choice.

If not, something small.

I think the idea of character limit would be good. Maybe size limit on pictures or no pictures at all.

You can turn off the signature if you want to.

I like no pics too, although I vote for a little discrimination... I think military and vets should be allowed to fly their colors or deceration or whatever the acronim is for this...

Maybe just a size reduction at first? Ill voluntarily cut mine down. No problem.
But the signatures add character to our names.IMO

Thanks for the tip! That looks much better to my eyes. Now that I have signatures turned off, no need for a signature length policy . If the left name area were smaller, I wouldn't even need to scroll to read 90% of the threads.
