There's this whole new moderation thing going on as I've heard.
So this seems like a good time to ask some questions on the following matter:

Well since some time the number of letters, numbers or signs (or what ever it's called) in the signature has been shortened, I can barely discribe my four cabinets now but like a year or so ago I could nearly write a book :D


Who else wants the old setting back?? who else wants more then we got rite now?????


I DO!!!!!!!

Ive seen others that have rediculously long ass sigs yet I can barely cram mine in 3 lines. Kind of sucks and I enjoy seeing others sigs of what games they have so maybe they have something I got and we can pm about that ya know. If it gets abused I can understand, just keep it where you cant put pics in or whatever and for those that dont like sigs turn em off?
 
Yep that's what I'm thinking, I see others having extremely large sigs and I edited mine once and was limmited to lesser signs :)

It's like what you say, it's not as if we are abusing the signature.

I think it is like treating as as a bunch of children when limmiting the length of the signature.
On most other forums you can have the signature of the length you like.
 
I've always had a concern about signature size cluttering up the threads, but enough people have asked for it... let's try a tad bigger.

The software default for signatures is approximately 3 lines. I just moved it to 4, a 33% increase.

BTW: I moved this thread out of polls/surveys. Originally the polls/survey section was more structured, but the settings didn't get set up right when we moved to vbulletin. I'm going to take a look at it again soon, but probably not today.
 
Thanks!!

You know that it ain't fair now, some have a complete storyline there and others can't even discribe 4 cabinets.
Even mattroid has a lot going on in his sig. even a quote from Frizz.
I know Mattroid is a Mod but he should send out the right example and not have such a crowded Sig when most can't even have one line.

Thanks! The real issue I had when the forums first switched over (and I haven't checked since) was that there was some restriction on line length as well as the 3 line limit. From what I can tell editing, it seems that's changed as well, though not sure if that was a while ago or just recently.

Thanks! Very cool!

Might want to relax a bit, and take a break..you're gonna pop a blood vessel in your mellon with all the work you are doin'. I know I would
 
I stopped listing my games in my sig because it gives false search results.

Example: if your sig says "centipede" somewhere in it, every time someone searches for "centipede+marquee", any thread where you have typed the word "marquee" will produce a hit. It doesn't matter if you were talking about GORF, PacMan, or Bubble Bobble marquees, because your sig says "centipede" it will provide a false result.
 
I just changed moved the limit from 4 to 5 photos. Not a big change but something.

You can always just post a reply to your own message with another 5 photos...

Is there any way that can be changed so the search software doesn't look at sigs? No wonder the search function is useless unless you search 'title' only. Searching title only I'm sure I am missing some stuff that would be usefull but as it is now if you search for Joust or Tron or whatever almost every thread comes up.

I honestly thought the search function was broken because of this.

Looks like I was wrong in my statemnt that sigs messed up the forum search hits. I just did some test searches, looking for things that I know are in peoples sigs, and they did not come up positive.

Now, google searches are probably another story...

Search hit sigs before the upgrade to the forums. I suspect it was just fixed as part of the upgrade.
