We need to come up with a signature policy!

I know this thread was meant to draw me out.
It always comes down to people hating on the monkey quote.
I'm telling you...they are NOT responsible! No matter what you think, Fenway!

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!

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...

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.

Redneck,
There's a local marine who runs a site that will generate those ribbon images for free: My Service Pride|Military Service Ribbons|Stationary,Decals,Stickers,Letterhead,Note pads

As to the subject of this thread, I always turn off signatures when I can. For that matter, I turn off avatars as well. Neither adds to my forum experience.

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.
