Signature sizes

[NZTailender]

Aye, get rid of the thing IMO.

Post reported.

Is this survey actually complete yet? Given virtually no-one's done a thing here for months I'm wondering if the decision might soon be taken one way or t'other.

This thread's now a year old. Does it really still need to be topped?

I couldn't care less about signature sizes, I have them disabled because it makes the forum much easier to read and less messy and clogged up.

If thats your feeling, why do you have a sig yourself?

 

[Richard]

Does tend to baffle, that one.

I had them disabled for ages while I accessed CW via dialup, and only turned them on in 2004/05 after the family finally acquired broadband. It's only since that time that I've added a sig myself.

 

[Richard]

If the sig doesn't make a post much longer than the norm size from the avatar etc, then I'm fine with it.

Here here. It turns a one line post into half a page. Disgrace is the word.

Some amazingly ironic comments in this thread. These two currently take the biscuit.

Go look up irony Alannis... My sig is no longer than yours or anyone elses, nor does it make my posts much longer than a sig-less post.

 

[Richard]

Allanis? But yeah, your sig is a fair bit longer than mine, and does increase the length of your posts by a decent bit.

I'm not hugely bothered BTW, it's not really your fault - I am and always have been rather annoyed by the amount of space vBulletin insists on having between quotes. But that's the way things are.

Commenting that your post is a little ironic is no slight on you.

 

[GIMH]

He's calling you Alanis because in her song ironic she uses definitions which aren't actually ironic, and irony isn't really the right word for Matt & HDS's posts I guess - it would be more like hypocrisy

 

[Richard]

Aha. I tend to try to airbrush that song from memory, and also always forget exactly how it is her name is spelt.

My signature is ultimately better than either of the posts above. Stop making pointlessly **** posts and I'll delete my signature.

Deal?

 

[Richard]

Err, those weren't pointlessly **** posts and I'm not enormously bothered about the length or contents of your signature, you can have what you like IMO. However, it is a little odd that you'd be bothered about some having massive long sigs then allow yours to grow to such a length. I'd have thought the fact that such things annoyed you would mean you were keen not to annoy yourself. Evidently not, however.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Thanks Richard. I'll keep my signature then as you fell into my little trap

 

[Richard]

Which 'un was that then?

Okay

QED. My first post in this trilogy was made in the way it was to illicit the type of response that you gave me in order to allow post #3.

Although I am aware of the obvious hypocrisy of 3 pointless posts to make a virtually pointless point.

 

[Richard]

TBH, if everyone stopped making pointless posts, CW would be an exceedingly dull place.

Anyway, as I said, my previous comment was a comment on you, not myself. You needn't get in a lather - if that was indeed what you were doing, I never can quite tell with you, you do the fake anger thing better than some do the needless anger - over it.
