    [​IMG] We've enabled signatures for SPS account holders a while ago, and now they are available to everyone (you can add yours in your User CP).

    There are certain limitations put in place:

    - you can't use any images in your signature
    - Maximum Characters in Signature Including BBCode Markup: 125
    - Maximum Characters in Signature Excluding BBCode Markup: 100
    - Maximum Lines in Signature: 2
    - this is allowed: basic/link vB Code

    What You Shouldn't Do in Your Sig:

    - Please do not include any fully or partially auto-censored words in your signature. Auto-censor is something that shouldn't need to be applied in any signature.

    ----

    Please note that signature restrictions for SPS account holders do allow for images/smilies and have higher maximum characters and lines allowed (as specified in the SPS forum).

    The restrictions and allowances here may change at any time, depending on how the signatures are being used. This is merely what we're starting with.

    Woo hoo. Signatures are for winners. May images come next, so we can all have pictures of naked chicks in our signatures :). It's the future.

    I think this was a wrong idea. Was nice as a perk for those who are SPS members, but to give to all? :nono: This makes the BoM in a bit like all the other dreadful BS forums. It might even stop new members joining.

    The signature options for non-SPS members are significantly limited compared to those of SPS account holders, so I don't think that they really count as anything more than a basic board function for non-SPS members.

    Images are perks only for us SPS folk...and IIRC, I'm the only one who has taken advantage of said perk. :skeptic: :rolling:

    That's because everyone else so far has enough good taste to avoid images like the plague.

    :p

    I'm sure that we'll have more images in signatures eventually, but considering how many years we've done without, it's natural not to have an onslaught of them as soon they are available. And for stuff that makes sense in signatures, text is good enough in 99% of cases.

    A wrong idea, but OK if you keep it amongst your elite? Stop members, don't make me laugh. Anyone who doesn't join a forum because it happens to allow sigs I reckon seriously needs to evaluate their life. Signatures are great. They allow a poster to be more individual, and a lot are funny besides. Liven a forum up - the BoM could do with more of it sometimes.

    I like the way Tal has implemented signatures. :thumb: Account Holders have plenty of perks including their own private forum where they can go and gossip about whatever/whoever they want. Subject of course to Board rules.

    Oh, come on, Nakia. You know as well as I do that the Board rules don't apply to the private forum. It's another great perk. Why, it's a veritable no-holds-barred orgy of rule-breaking goodness in there!


    \me tries to drum up new SP members.

    :p

    :) Yes, son, I added that last line as an after-thought because I didn't want the hoi polloi to think we got away with murder. :evil:
