dagies Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hi Jim,I feel silly but for some reason can't figure out how to change the signature that attaches to my messages. Can you point me to where I can make those changes?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't even see signatures any more ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I am seeing the same problem as Fetch, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaroundsioux Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe they dropped them because some (I won't mention any names,ahem) were starting to take up the whole screen on our computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Looks like they were inadvertently turned off in the upgrade.That said, having read this thread both with them and without them, I think it was better without them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Looks like there is a preference to ignore specific signatures and to ignore all signatures. Its in the top right of a person's signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Looks like there is a preference to ignore specific signatures and to ignore all signatures. Its in the top right of a person's signature.Good catch. That said, if we mostly agree the signatures are mostly just junk/noise that all regular members are going to hide, then we should disable them altogether so less regular guests don't have to suffer.Another thought that occurred to me was that we could limit it to something like 2 lines so people could put in a favorite quote or link, but not the novels we see now.

82SiouxGuy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've used the ignore all signatures for a couple of years. It is much cleaner and easier to scroll through pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I'm not hearing a lot of support for signatures (though lots of people posting in this thread have lengthy ones )We've survived the last month without them, just turn them back off?

That would allow people to personalize their messages without people like me eating up all the bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keikla Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Some people's signatures are bigger than the messages. I hope you realize this applies to you as well haha. You have 5 lines of signature (mostly self-promoting links) for a one sentence post.I agree with turning them off completely, though I already did it for my personal profile. Thanks for that tip, jdub. Edited September 1, 2015 by keikla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Honestly, I know I'm an offender and I actually agree that not having signatures made things kind of easy to read. I'd be willing to turn them off, or just leave 2 lines or 140 characters or something like that.But the cleanliness of turning them off completely is understandable and that would be fine by me.

fightingsioux4life Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ha, I was talking about FS4L... I know, I actually cut mine down as well. Yeah, I was guilty as charged. I have since shortened it considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I don't really care one way or another. But if a person can just turn the off individually (which I've done in the past). I'd vote to leave the it to personal choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd vote to leave the it to personal choice. It's also much more obvious how to turn them off now, with the little x in the upper corner of every signature. Before you had to find the right spot in your personal preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sorry about that, I assume you edited it in the last day?I've been playing with the settings to see if I could reduce them to two lines (as discussed above), but it turns out not to affect the ones people already have, but limits them to two lines when they make edits.

I went to the edit to see if the rest of it was there yesterday and there was only the lines that show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
