Signatures out of hand

Cheesefood · 11-07-2006, 06:39 PM

Some siggys are starting to get pretty long. I know that HB Bill is just waiting for the moment to unleash a 58 keg listing of his current on-hand selection. Evan's is approaching critical mass as well.

Is it possible to restrict the number of lines? Or can everyone make horizontal lists?

Primary: Beer 1, Beer 2, Beer 3
Secondary: Beer 4, Beer 5, Beer 6
Drinking: Beer 7, Beer 8

Etc?

Thanks!

Small fonts make a world of difference. Not only do they take up less space, they are easy to skip over, easier to ignore if you want.

EDIT: You should see my wife's baby-board sigs, though; huge pics, four or five "blinkies," about a page and a half long each. Rid-ic-ulous.

Windows Control Panel ---> Mouse ----> Wheel Tab ----> Change that value to "10".

You can restrict my signature when you pry it from my cold dead keyboard.

Get the TCMPCB (Ten Character Minium Post Control Board) to count my sig toward this outragous limitation and the MTFCSLL (More Than Four Character Search Limit Lobby) to ease up and then we'll talk.

They are already limited by the number of characters. I run up against this problem often because the hyperlinks that I have to my recipes count toward the signature cap.

However, I do agree that some sigs can get pretty long.

I'm happy to hear that I am following both suggestions mentioned above... I use a small font and I have multiple things listed per line. I feel my signature is of decent size, but is not intrusive or bothersome. (And I trust that you guys will correct me if it IS intrusive or bothersome.)

I don't know if Tx can configure it, but a limit on both the number of characters and number of lines is a good idea, and maybe FORCE all sigs to be of [size=1].

Yeah the size is the biggest part. It's still redable... uh, readable... that is you can read it.... but the mind see's the smaller font and says "not as important".
Sorry I went off on the Willy Wonka reference.

The Society Hating Inappropriate Taglines agrees.

smaller font would be great. It's the long siggy's that make threads more of a pain to read. 3 posts per page is not fun.

Yet you did not use the smaller font on your own 6 line sig?

I was just going to post the same thing, goddamn ninja
