    To all of you people who post your system specs in your signatures: I dislike you. It's like 15-20 lines of something we don't really need to read. Please, for the sake of punctuality, please don't post them in your signature. If you have a problem that has the need for your hardware, post them in your thread. If you would like to brag about your dream machine (shut up Papa :haha: ), we have Post System Specs HERE! for that. Even though I'd like to know what all of you are running, It just gets too long and annoying after a while...

    Sorry you dislike me..I find it helpful to post my sys specs in my sig so when I have an issue all my info is right there.
    It was especially helpful when I was putting Red Hat on my laptop.

    I had one earlier, kernel panic in Linux, but then I figured that I don't need one. I used to change it every now and then in the old forum, now I don't know why I did that ;)

    try using small text size, that way it doesn't distract from your post.

    Here's a tip...

    Nobody wants to see a sig or image bigger than their own post. Kinda like SHOUTING, :hotbounce where your mouth predominates over your head.
    Style -over- Substance so to speak.

    Considering keeping your Image Sigs small, apx 1½" x ¾"

    I took you advice Unk. Your right, it did seem like I was shouting before..

    It looks much cleaner now.

    I'd like to thank everyone who decreased the text size of their signatures, I very much appreciate it.

    And svt, I didn't really dislike you, just your signature. You're a pretty cool guy :p

    I knew you werent serious..I just thought I would be as blunt as you were. When I resized my sig. I saw where you were coming from. Like Unk said, I was shouting my specs at everyone.

    :confused: Is reading the signatures causing you to be late for something??? :confused: ;)

    I hope my signature doesn't annoy anyone, but I too understand how it can be annoying. If I am posting in the word games or something I turn my signature off so that as many posts as possible can be displayed on one page. Its kinda a waste of space to have some meaningless drivel in it (system specs aren't!) and then post one line and take up half a thread page !!!

    Why go through all this when you can disable the signatures in the User Control Panel? :D
  17. Vehementi TechSpot Paladin Posts: 3,199

    I don't really want to turn off signatures, some people have very interesting ones.

    And I'm not being late for anything, it just gets repetitive.
  18. uncleel Newcomer, in training Posts: 1,145

    Why Not? Because some do list their system specs for our consideration in solving problems.

    Thank you uncleel! I've been waiting for someone to say that. I personally had my specs, but I normally don't have too many problems to ask about so I took it off. I do think system specs can be useful at times, as I hate to ask the newbies for their specs after their first few posts.
