How come everyone just discovered signatures? they've been an option in your user profile for years.

Signatures -- they're trendy on MOL!

I thought we turned this feature off - I think they're distracting and annoying.

It just popped up again a few days ago. It's been disabled for a long long time. Turn it off again, please!

Nancy Chiller Janow,

You can just delete the content of your signature. Of course, that won't turn everyone else's off.

I stand corrected, I guess the signature feature was "new" in a manner of speaking.

But now Jamie went and disabled it again. And I was just about to get a corporate sponsor for my signature line...

Sorry ML - I couldn't stand it.

Maybe Dave will override my decision.

It was most annoying when the signature was longer then their post.

I was too lazy to delete it and it really was annoying to see the same tags over and over and over aagain. Besides, Mem's signature wasn't so trendy!!

Brothers Ross,

Please turn them back on. Let us have our fun. What's wrong with fun? We want our fun back. Please let us have our fun.

Thanks.

The problem with the .sigs is that you end up reading the same damn thing over and over and over again and can't easily separate the actual message from the .sig. There are lines between the messages and lines within the messages between the message and the sig.... what's so fun about seeing the same phrase over and over again a hundred times? Even the funny ones get annoying after you've read them more than a couple times.

It would be OK if the reader had the option to block them.

Well, perhaps they could come up with a better way to distinguish the sig from the message? I've been on PLENTY of forums sites, and they all had sigs, which were never a problem. if the sig was a bit SEPERATE from the message, it might be easier, and also, have a size limit.

or what was mentioned earlier, just have an option button in the users' menu to turn OFF viewing signatures. I think that's plenty reasonable. :3

i would suggest the signatures to be placed under the picture/MOLer info, on the "author section".
that way the ones interested can have their fun and will not be so distracting when reading the messages.
