Forum Signatures... make your own and save it in a text file for when you post.

  • I made one, used the the 3 ~ symbols to make the box (discovered by accident) not sure why it highlights the text like it does, almost like its a HTML editor code box and its trying to highlight the text for readability.. *confused johnny dep pirate face"

    No forum Sig?

    What causes the black box is massive amounts of space before the info I removed the spaces and it goes away, Just an fyi.

  • I wouldn't mind having a signature option, but first things first..... fix the forums! Lol

  • Just spotted the RSS Symbol for Forum Topic's, Now I can watch the threads I want in Mozilla Thunderbird. Use your fave rss reader to watch topics.

    There is also a ? in the forum composition that gives you all the forum tricks at http://commonmark.org/help/

    So they are using an off the shelf forum app.

    No forum Sig?

  • Please don't folks. If this becomes a thing I might just take a zero tolerance approach and start utilizing that new block feature.

  • man, forum sigs would have to be unobtrusive, nothing huge like the one you did, that's just obnoxious lol. Something small like I did below.

    EnticeTheMalice.com

  • mainly because it is spammy and unnecessary. the first post takes up way too much space for no reason aside from self-promotion/attempting to blag a few backlinks

  • @enticed-malice use pretty links for WP ;)

    no 5 mile long url

    ~https://www.enticethemalice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/entice-the-malice-forum-sig.png

    could be ~https://www.enticethemalice.com/forum-sig

    https://triheadedmonkey.com/sig

  • @triheadedmonkey this was an example... Plus, url doesnt matter as they dont show in a forum sig, so your argument is moot.

  • @enticed-malice they do if someone hovers over it.

    it is far from moot as it was intended as friendly advice

    that's because this forum doesn't have any type of signature mod. A properly set up sig on a forum will allow a custom url to link to whatever you want. Thanks, but don't need your advice.

  • @enticed-malice maybe add 'I don't need advice from anyone' to your next sig then as apparently my psychic abilities are waning.

    I'll do my best to take note and avoid in future :)

  • @triheadedmonkey if you have psychic abilities, then I may utilize your services in the near future. ;)

  • This is mine. I have always wanted to make one, but never did. This thread made me get to work. lol

    Dang. I am now realizing you can't make an image clickable. :(

  • @robtinbc

    Actually, the ability to "easily" attach sigs has been a topic for a long time around here. It was mentioned (very) early on that it tends to create clutter and distraction from the conversation, which is the main reason for the forums to exist in the first place... the conversation / discussion.

  • Honestly I think signatures are perfectly fine as long as they aren't too big or obnoxious.

    If Rare implemented a signature feature they could also introduce an option to toggle them on/off so that people who don't want to see the clutter can just avoid them. They could also impose size restrictions so any large signatures are just cut off.

    For now I'll just be using --- to separate and put something below. I'll try to keep it relatively small and not too crazy. Need to make something first though lol.

  • I was just accused of doing this exact thing! 'You can be my hero baby, you can kiss away my pain'.
