I have a mini-LOLcat thread going on the Pinnacle Forums to try to encourage them to use pictures more often. This new forums deal is better then Issue 14+15 combined.|

It's just like the new AIONsource.com website (Which is a game also owned by NCSoft, for those who don't know
) so I am actually a bit experienced in how the new forums are going to work. I'm loving it. I'm glad you are, too!
now to get somone to make me a sig

Unfortunately yes... *searches for the option to turn off signatures entirely*
I hope they give more options for removing this new feature. The CoH boards were one of the last few places where one could go and not be assaulted by various horrible works of photoshoppery when browsing for information.

Galvanized - lvl 50 Bots/Dark Mastermind
Umetrus - lvl 50 Fire/Kin Corruptor
Psychotropic Pstud - lvl 50 Mind/Psi Dom

And on a plus, They gave us a silly "Reputation" rating system. I'm sure it will help us with the Search ability, which makes the new forums superior to the old.

Go to USER CP In the top left corner of your screen and on the side is a menu where you'll have to go down to Edit Options. In the Third section you'll see this:

Thread Display Options Visible Post Elements You have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.

Problem solved for everyone! Cheers!

I'm well aware that I can shut off signatures altogether, I would just rather there be an option to just shut of the irritating image portions of them.
I would like to view posted images.
I would like to view text signatures.
I would also like to not view image signatures.

If you uncheck the images option, it just leaves the url to the image, so you can click on it if you want, but also not have to deal with the added lag from a mass amount of images.

Aye, I think the newest update for the forums next Tuesday might introduce the "Horrible Artwork Filter". That will be in the CP section as well.
I think I'm laughing out loud right now.

Well, clearly it's time for a bandwidth killing screenshot thread! Now with actual inlined screenshots!
Oh my god, bAss_ackwards
Our forums took advantage of the Double Exp Weekend and leveled up with new abilities such as player-posted pictures, multiquotes, and more! Wewt!

One thing I currently find sucky, is the line limitation. You cannot have more than five lines in your sig. Currently, sigs like mine and brickster's are too big to pass the check if we want to merely change one or two things.

My views on the matter exactly. Why anyone allows for images in signatures in forums these days is beyond all logic, considering the bandwidth it gobbles up, the added moderation effort required so... naughty things are kept out and sheer ugliness factor added to said forums.|

It's not like getting rid of images will keep sigs from being a problem. Many frequent posters already have signatures that are 10 lines or more, and dwarf their two sentence response.
Even better are the people who SIGN THEIR POSTS MANUALLY. What in the bajeezus is all that about? What do you think a signature is?
I don't see the ability to post using [img] lasting, though. It isn't as if it was some missing feature from the old ones.

Well, these are the same guys who didn't put limits on avatar sizes allowed on these forums, which meant all-too-common megabyte-sized animated avatars.

I figure its just a hold over from job related emails.

Never had a problem with graphic sigs, a lot neater and less boring than text sigs and allows for expression. As for naughty things, quicker to see and remove an image than check all the text links in signatures for inappropriate content. Modern multimedia world, get over it.
