I wouldn't mind having text only signatures, but the character limit should be increased. I made my grammar sig into an image because I didn't have the room to say everything I wanted to say in 200 characters. However, I would be fine with it just being text if I had enough room. It would be nice if the image restrictions were a bit tighter. (I know this sounds somewhat ridiculous with my current sig, but I like that picture, and it's a tribute to Syd. I wouldn't mind reducing it if I had to, but since I don't have to I'm not going to.)

I wist the text limit could be increased, but that's just me.

You can not really describe an album in 50-75 words, no matter how much you try.

Are the reviews not made for that? Do you need to review albums in your sig?
 
 
Short and concise is best

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Indeed, huge signatures are VERY borring.
Strangely, avatar cannot exceed 64x64 pixels while it could be... let's say 150x150, but signatures with picture or huge details of what people are listening (like lastfm...) are so annoying.Thumbs Down

Sadly, it is impossible to deactivate the loading of signatures in the settings Unhappy

One other point about signatures - if you change your sig, all previous sigs get changed, yea, even back to the dawn of time (or whenever you started posting here, whichever is the later Wink ) - which is a bit irritating, if you change sigs every now & then out of boredom. Is this an unavoidable quirk of the forum software, or is it possible to set it so that past sigs are fixed, and only future ones change?

I can't possibly imagine such a thing. The memory of a sig is maintained strictly to the present time and to the present form of your sig. It's not about the posts of the pasts, it's not even about posts, it's about you, the member, what the sig represents. So when you do the change of sigs, perfectly natural is to cope everywhere, anywhere with that sig...

(that or I'm really tired and can't understand entirely the issue...Sleepy)

I think Web Wiz Forums only go to max 200 character by default.

I could be wrong.

MPEG4 files may not be compatible with all plug ins, cause usually you need a Quicktime player to do that, however if you have VideoLAN a media player, it does a lot of things ranging from MP4, DVD, MP3 etc all in one package no need to get extra codecs really.

K-Lite Codec, good if you want to play MP4 in Windows Media Player etc and much more.
