Valen Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=#33ooCC]I remember back around Version 4 or 5, I think it was V4. Anyway, what ever happened to the 8-line sig limit? I've been browsing around and seen sigs of 1-50 or more lines. If you want a huge sig like that, you really should provide a link of some sort to a mile-long type sig-- especially if you want to do a ton of smilies. The reason I bring this up now is, these big sigs are becoming more common than before with the recent banners and "friends" lists. They are providing very unneccessary scrolling, and completely screw up the RPGs when you're trying to read and the post/sig is the same colors. That little line doesn't help much either. Well, that's about it. So, will the 8-line limit return, or will it stay at a no-limit limit? -Valen[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=red][b]I have no problem with it. There is a line between ur posts and sig so you know where to stop reading for RPGs. And if it is still a prob, increase your screen res[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valen Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 My screen res is at it's max, always has been and always will be. I'm just wondering what happened to the 8-line limit, that's all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=#507AAC]I can only tell you what I've continuously repeated; the hacks from any version prior to v6 were not carried over to our new server. As such, certain things must be readded. I'm hoping to get a better signature control added shortly.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valen Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Oh yeah, sorry, forgot about that... Oh well. Juu, I'm sure you'll be able to keep your banner.... maybe not the buddy list, but the banner yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=red][b]When I had my v5 Star Wars Fans list, after it got too big, I had to move it to a website and link to it. lol. That made it die quickly tho. :([/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Of course, if you did find the sigs really annoying, then you could turn off the option to view them in your user CP. I have, so I don't get to see many good signatures/banners. Which is a shame, because some are very nice indeed. But, on the other hand, I find it easier and generally less cluttering to browse without them, good as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Hrm... I agree. Alot of the signitures are really good, but some of them just take up alot of space because they just stick smilies all over the place. @_@;;; Ah well...

Transtic Nerve Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 We DO NOT need to see a return of the so called "friends list"... it was an epidemic before... along with those ridiculous clans. Last thing we need are those popping up again. I think the friend's list is stupid. To me it just scream "attention! I'm here, look at me and all my friends, who aren't really friernd, just other people who crave attention like I do who PM me once and never talk to again" At least... thats how I precieve the whole thing. I've never had a friend's list and I've never PMed anyone to be on anyone's friends list. The only thing you really need to have in your sig is like a banner, a link to a website if you have one and maybe a few personal quotes or something funny you want people read.

Kinetic Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]... along with those ridiculous clans. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue] And that could happen, too, someone put a thing in their sig saying, "Join the New World Order and help us take over the boards!" Now, when the first clans started, that was right after I left the boards so long ago, so I missed a lot of it, but it definately sounds like it was just a bunch of spam.

Genkai Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I have no idea what the clans were, but the only clans that seem to exist are Es-clan and..... well, that's about it... ^^' My sig is too big... I think i'll kill it... Soon...soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathGuy2 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Can we include an option to put parts of signatures on the empty gray area left of the post below the post count? They'd be cut off if the post wasn't long enough. Or what about code that makes parts of things collapsible (with a Windows Explorer-style [+] button)? Maybe you could have a [collapse] tag that shows everything inside it as a [+] icon, until the icon is clicked, whereupon it will show a [-] icon bullet-style on the contents between the tags (does that make any sense?). Another thing that might help is a [marquee] vB tag - it'll allow buddy lists of theoretically infinite size to appear on one line. You could also make no signature the default in the RPG forum, if that'd help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valen Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 They already have a scrolling tag, but it was in the HTML, so it was done away with when HTML was done away with. But TN, I agree with you completely. All they do is take up space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a "Star Wars Fan List" I think that is more practical, but still unnessasary. sigs in general are not needed, but help give people a little place to express themselves.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 If you find the sig's room-taking, than I would suggest you use Solo Tremaine's advice. Yes, some use huge sigs which only exist out of smileys>enter>smileys>enter>smileyes etc. But not all sigs exist out of that.

Axel--Ignition Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 God I miss the Clans RPG, if that's what you were talking about. I really don't see what the big deal with signiatures are if you can just turn them off. Also, since most people have banners, it is hard to not notice where a sig begins.

Juu Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Mkay... I don't think you [i]need[/i] a pm/buddy list, but I just like having a list of friends. ^_^ It's not like I'm asking for attention, I just like showing my appreciation to my friends, for being my friends. It's kinda like a shorter way to do the whole 'role models of otaku...etc' kind of threads. Just say a few people, and just say the people on my buddy list, I appreciate. ^_^;; I do understand if the eight-line thingy is put back, though.[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
