LOL, no kidding. There are plenty of forums that do allow images, though...Quote:

I was tempted to mention something along those lines, but refrained. :p It's a good point, though.Quote:

I went ahead and shortened mine too !! it was a bit long
I think this thread belongs in my sig ;)
How do I change the font? I looked before but didn't see an option to do that.
Incidentally, you can turn off sigs so you don't have to look at them.
It isn't that we don't want to look at them. We just don't want too look at one that is 5 pages long!Quote:

So what is considered too long by the majority? I personally like people to have spec's in their sigs as I use it to see what combinations are put together out there. I do think that specs are usefull but, with size issues in mind, I tried to keep mine to a minimum and still show some details.
Maybe a 3 line limit would be good (now off I go to shorten mine!)
Cheers,
Hey Casper, so how did you alter your font to the small blue one?
Personally, I like to see them too but I could do with tidying mine up a little.
I've never been bothered by the issue. If Sharkey wants them shorter, all it needs to do is limit the space available for that item.
I don't mean to be critical but doesn't it seem a little fascist to be too concerned with what someone looks like, in this case in written form ;)
I hate long sigs too - remember the longer they are, the lesser the people paying any attention to them. They just make the post unreadable. I list my 2 comps in my sig and I can do it it just 2 lines and refer to them by their numbers.
I think three lines is a bit short. Hell, even I have three lines. Five to ten lines is where I'd like to see the limit. That's certainly not unreasonable. Folks with longer sigs might complain, but they're the ones who have tons of useless crap in their sigs to begin with. Besides, "compressing" your sig doesn't necessarily mean you have to leave anything out - as has been suggested: make the font smaller, abbreviate or shorten items ("AXP1800+" rather than "AMD Athlon XP 1800+"), and put more than one item per line ("AXP1800+ / 512MB PC2700 / etc."). Frankly, I'm amazed that so few people have come up with these ideas. It seems like common sense - and common courtesy - to do so.Quote:

Yours is pretty much perfect, bluesfusion is also fine. But Rob's is kinda long.

Lol, still "long ***." Did you really have to tell us your planned upgrades, and dead components? Just say Tbird 1.4, 8k3a, gf4, ddr, you hdds, and get the hell out of there!
Just admit it. Telling the world every dead systems, curretn system, and planned upgrade is just stupid. No one wants to see all that. :rolleyes:Quote:

Anything to oblige........lol. I've shortened it but think it looks stupid now.
And I'm still waiting to hear how I create a smaller font!
Put everything inside these:
it's a tag :
first one has a [ then size =1 then ]. Then you write everything , then [/size then ].
I didn't see any tag, just a blank space :confused:
