Who do you recognise by signature?

[atpbx]

People still have signatures on?

I thought everybody just turned them off as soon as they could.

 

[The_Abyss]

I recognise people by the avatars. That way I can perpetuate the illusion that there are only a handful of people on here.

 

[Akagi]

Honestly, anyone with a signature. Including yourself.

 

[Maccy]

I think it's time I updated mine, had it for years.

Not sure there is anyone I recognise as such by sig as I always look at the username??

 

[Yaayuh!]

Most people, but mainly my own. That's why i have them enabled, so I can scroll down a thread and easily spot where I've posted.

 

[Begbie]

There's some guy on here with a Trainspotting Begbie sig but I can't for the life of me remember who has it.

No idea who you're talking about....

 

[ubersonic]

Nobody now because the new site turns off sigs if you disable avatars lol

 

[moogle]

I used to before I turned Sig's off. It's been so long now I don't remember any

 

[Phate]

Raymond Lin, Begbie, Feek, lots of different people really...I like signatures. It's also hard to name names but just scrolling through this thread I usually end up looking at the signature before the username because it's inline with the post.

What I like more is the enforced signature rules regarding size and restrictions. Keeps it tidy. If I go on another forum where someones signature takes up half the page I am instantly put off of it.

Ha sweet, didnt know you could turn them off. Done.

Avatars are so annoying, when I see them, makes me want to rewatch the flims and tv series all over again.

 

[Ace Modder]

This has inspired me to add a new signature.

Use the dark theme and you have avatars off but sigs on!

 

[Bunka]

Always use mine as basically a forum bookmark to see where my last post was.

 

[ChrisD.]

No one but then most images are blocked in work so I can only see text.

Doesn't that make the background black instead of blue? Don't really wanna do that as I spend quite a bit of time reading the forum.

 

[linktoinsanity]

Like many on here, I use mine just to find my posts in a thread.

 

[unwashed potato!]

i think when people say they recognise users by their signature, they don't always mean the recognise them every where they go and don't have to check the username (though perhaps in some situations that may be the case), but in fact they mean when they are having a conversation, or reading one, it's easier to see the back and forwards by the signature, and then when they've done reading that conversation they'll likely forget who that sig is for.

i remember MRK by his sig and that's about it, but then i've had a man crush on MRK since i can remember

 

[soundb0y]

Whoever it is that has a sig suspiciously similar to mine! Actually I cant even remember the name, soundman or something?

 

[Eddie]

I never saw the point. I have my contact details in mine as I want to make it easy for people to get in touch with me. But other than that I just cannot be bothered with them.

Neither am I interested or bothered by what avatar I have or haven't got (even when I wasn't on the moderation team).

It makes the forum too messy in my opinion.

Definitely agree, I just find things easier on the eyes with everything disabled - the initial focus is on the actual content of each post.
