If this comes to a vote, I would vote against it. Boards without signature images have a much cleaner aesthetic than those that do. I;m with c&c: Images in signatures makes reading threads a bit more difficult to me. (I do like the avatars in quotes though). So my "Boom! Yummy!" isn't kosher? It's possible that my scriptblock blocks a HUGE image there, but 2 small lines don't bother me at all. |

I'm on the fence against images in signatures. Most of my experience with this was on a Magic: The Gathering forum, and some of the images and banners got to be really large and obtrusive, making it difficult to read through the posts, particularly if the individual/individuals with the large images/banners were really active.
However, for this forum, I doubt it's going to be that much of a problem, so I would more apt to vote in favor of it.

If this comes to a vote, I would vote against it. Boards without signature images have a much cleaner aesthetic than those that do. Unfortunately, the host software only offers us two options in this regard. Option 1: Disable all UBB. This would include links. Option 2: Enable absolutely everything. Right now, we're set to Option 1. I'm strongly considering moving to Option 2 BEFORE people get settled on their new sigs. Thoughts? This leaves me a little torn. A lot of posters here have blogs I enjoy reading but forget about until I see the link in their sig. On the other hand, links in sigs is beloved by spammers and people linking to things I don't care to visit. And I really hate images in sigs. |

And creating a rule about image sizes in signatures just begs more police work. I really don't want to go there.
I suppose, if I deactivated the BB code, folks could still put the link in their sigs as text. How hard is it to copy a link into a window browser?

This discussion started because of my suggestion, which I was suggesting for OTHER sites, not this one, if no one's clamoring for a change, I'd say just leave it be (and sorry for starting trouble!)

Not trouble at all. Inevitably, this will eventually become an issue, and it's good to have a plan before it comes to that point. |

You could create a Facebook page for the forum. That way people can promote it by "liking" it. The Facebook page could also serve as a backup channel for information in case the board ever goes down.

The FB page is a great idea.

Teddy doesn't sharpen his claws on my comics or trades. He likes to sit on them. That Enki Bilal book has a plastic cover on it. |
