Subject: Should our signatures be in a more noticeable area?

I think it is fine how it is. If people want to get a click glimpse at it, all they have to do is press 1 button.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Oh my gosh. I forgot that we actually had signatures.... I would rather they place our sigs right below our post but should give a maximum height so it wouldn't take up much room. It would look really cluttered if people had GIGANTIC sigs. That's what I like about the Bungie forums. It looks really clean and simple.

I don't think sigs are any more necessary than people 'signing' their posts. I actually find that to be totally egotistical and self serving.

Other forums I see where people have custom signatures that have a grocery list of all things that make them 'special', I find very annoying.

How you post should be your 'signature'.
That's what people recognize about you anyhow.

I like it as it is.

There's an interesting article Jeff Atwood posted about actual content on web pages. It's a good read if you're interested and definitely related to this.

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

My memory may be a bit fuzzy, but I think signatures used to be at the bottom of every post back in 2005 (like I said, I think) until it was swapped out for the current set up.

I've been here for nearly five years and I've never noticed that drop down button until now.

OT: I really don't like signatures that much. They're not usually very interesting and sometimes slightly crude or lengthy.

  • 04.27.2012 5:27 AM PDT

It would be nice if it was only like, a line or two but when people have those silly banners or stories as their 'signature', then it gets a bit annoying. So I would like it in small doses is basically what I'm saying.

It doesn't do anything for me or anyone else, so no.


This, I don't give a damn about anybody else's signature, what I care is to read a nice thread.

I would keep it where it's at; it's noticeable enough.

I like them how they are, however, the drop-down arrow could be elaborated a bit more.






I think the arrow should be removed and the Title Bar should turn into a button which serves the same purpose as the arrow (No changes to the appearance of the bar, Just a function added to it). Not a huge change, But it would make it that much easier to see the signature.

I'd be okay with a one-line signature separated from the main post with a horizontal separator. No BBCode in that line, so you could put in your name (e.g. Arby) or a short one-liner. It could go next to the timestamp so the overall length of the page isn't increased just by the addition of the signature.

The examples at the start of the article are exactly what I don't want to have happen, the whole clutter of signatures and such. I just feel like on B.net, signatures have no real purpose, so is there a way to give them a reason, or should we discard them overall?

@Vinyl_Hb

Most of the signatures aren't that exciting anyways... theyd just be a waste of space.
