we're trying to encourage using the quote + key as much as possible, that will help, and you have me working on breaking that thing about quoting the person who I'm replying to when it's the last post before mine lol yep I just did it, but I'm working on the issue lol

okay ... I realize there are people that choose dial up for whatever reason .... yes Roo has a certain limit in their sig for size ... but I also think it needs to be a limit on the amount of pics used in the sig. If people figure a way around it then the mods delete the pics.
I also notice that people are not using the sig part to post those pics ... they are putting them in the body of their posts ... which is really a pain !!!! As for the quoting ... I am sorry, but I will continue to use that to respond to posts ..... that is the purpose of having it there ....

yes, I realize some are posting sig pics in posts and technically, there's little that can be done about it, a post can contain anything within the guidelines, there's no leg to stand on, but I am working on teaching them how to change their sig pics out so they don't have to do it that way ... we don't wanna become the sig police and until Roo decides to change things, this is the best we can do

It could be that a reply is in respond to the post one before the reply,but by the time the reply is posted someone else could have replied jumping in the space so the quote does still help to make sense of post replies. The signature issue,I wish admin would come up with a better idea. We would have no need to merge posts etc,the way things are at the moment with the size of some sigs it makes a lot of sense. A lot of the time we get a reply of few words followed by this repeated massive sig. It is only posts by the same member in succession that's merged so it should be of little inconvenience as possible.

Exactly ... and sometimes when posting you are responding to a post that may have been intended for someone else, but you can add your spin or humor to it ... I understand the sig thing completely ... and I have been trying my best to remember clicking on successive posts .... but I am blonde after all ...  maybe a suggestion ... move that next to the reply button ....

and not just for one post. Thats helpful if you know you gonna post in one thread more then ones. (on successive posts ) It makes posting a lot easier and I dont have to go to advanced additional option- all the time to click the sig tag thingy off. on every post.lol

I agree with you Spidey about posting their sigs in their post. I have even pmed someone that does this and they came back with a valid reason for it but none-the-less it's still a major pain and if you wish to turn off ALL sigs then this right is taken from you. I have even complained to the Moddies about this person and from what I can see nothing has been done. As for dial up connection believe it or not there are many out there that have no choice but to have dial up. My parents live in an area that no DSL or cable service is offered. Dial up is all that they can have. As for quoting I will continue to use this unless I am answering someone right after their post. I will try to use multi quoting where possible. |
