Actually, the font size is rather large. I have to agree with flyingwolf there..hotdjdave said:
I opt for limiting sigs to plaintext only, no formatting. People with huge fonts for their sig normally post less than their sig takes up.

I suppose I could mention my memberships in ARES, RACES, and Skywarn. Maybe I could add my FEMA certifications. Hmm.... :lol:
I completely agree with the arguments here that some of the sigs have been too long, but if they really bother you that much don't forget that you have a choice in the User Control Panel to display sigs, avatars, and images or not.

Though this solution isn't too good either. I don't mind signatures as long as they are not OTT. On my PCs I have them displayed. The problem for me is that I also use a phone to look at the bulletin boards and cannot have a separate 'profile' for that.

Yes, there are 8 lines there and yes it is...hotdjdave said:
You have four lines and I have five lines; I only count five lines of text.Dubbin said:

Dave you are forgetting to count the emtpy lines. They take up space so they are counted.
Oh...lol. I was only counting actual lines of text and not seprating space between. :lol:Dubbin said:
So if I removed the spaces, I would only have 5 lines? But then it would look crappy!
It already looks crappy
Thanks a lot.Dubbin said:It already looks crappy
Don't you like my quotes?

I agree 100%!
What if the signature lines were limited to the same size that Motorola radios were (8 characters). M/A-Com Orions (2 lines with 8 on each line). Or I'll be lineate and say 2 lines - 12 characters long like the 396.
It's called a "signature" line, not a "list what ever is on my mind every time I post" line or "list everything I own in my house except the kitchen sink" line...
Here's a thought. Just for fun why don't you put up a special website that is only linked by your signature and put a counter on it.
Change your signature to have ONLY that link on it.
Now, here's the good part. Check it in 1 month. That will give you an idea of who actually cares what your sig-line says. If it doesn't equal or exceed your post count for the same given time period, then you'll know for sure that no one cares what your current inventory is... Maybe one day you'll understand the importance of signature lines.
Remember to PLEASE make sure you put a counter on it so everyone can see how important that signature is.

By whom?
A blank line takes up no space except for the extra carriage return, which is one character long, not a full line.
This thread is getting really stupid, and is degenerating into name-calling. I would have closed it by now if I had the power (which I don't).

New lines count as a line.
When you calculate how many lines are in a file, newlines are indeed counted as a line.
