    We are thinking about making signatures more fun:). That said, what would you like to be able to do with your signatures?

    Images definitely. But I can't think of anything else that wouldn't have bad side effects.

    We are considering links, but a new user group would have to be created to avoid the spammers abusing it. There would also be some links that would not be allowed. Images are a good possibility:).

    As said already Links and Images... is it possible to make it so you can put images and links in people's signatures for them? That way you can approve of the image/link and it prevents spam.

    Hmmmm, I am not sure if I can override the settings like that. If I could, that would be one way of doing it:).

    I don't think you can stick Links of websites on peoples custom sigs. I only think you can add your personel Links on your Sigs to access links from websites in your profile. There is a setting in your profile. Its under home page Profile. It allows URLs that people can link to. So this is what I heard.

    But deffently Images and custom text in Sig. The Sig should be something like 250 pixels x 500 pixels big. Which is about average size of sigs, No animations, or very little becuse the animations will make the forum slowly chug along. and most of all "NO VULGORE IMAGES!" ie P () r |\| and such.

    I think image Sigs is a awesome Idea. I also think you need to add third party URL's like ImageShack, Photobucket, etc. Under Sig section in profile. So the forum allows us to use these third party URL's to post the Sig. But not sure how it works now adays, it may be alot easier to make custom sigs, then it use to be.

    The forums automaticly blocked out the word in my post after ie. So that is a good sign that the vulgore images may get blocked out on peoples SIGs. So there is no reason to even try to post them images in sigs. So don't Do it. please

    yes that's the trouble with links, it can be abused... perhaps add some sort of minimum postage, before links can be added to the signature... if that's possible of course, else forget the suggestion, because then it may be more trouble than it's worth it

    Yes, that is what we are thinking. Only certain forum members would be able to have the links. Images could be a problem too unless it is certain forum members.

    We are thinking along the lines of creating a new user group of active forum members with at least 100 posts.

    I think you should have over 200 posts, and to get in, you'd have to ask either you or Aaddron for permission, which should be the safest.

    That sounds pretty good:). Staying active would also be important for those who want a link.

    I say make it Rank useable base on Forum activety. Well these forums do have a kinda ranking system already, why not manipulate the Ranking sytem somehow? IE: a certain rank allows sig posting, and Higher rank allows sig posting plus link posting in custom Sig.

    I think this will help the forums be more active then they already are, because everybody likes Sigs. While it will also help rid people wanting to post Vulgore links in there Sigs..After all, it took awhile to reach, "Sig" posting rank, aswell as "Sig" posting + Link posting. If someone posts anything Vulgore they drop way down in rank and need to start over to be able to repost there "Sig" again.

    If the forum ranks can be manipulated that way, then, I am sure, no one will post anything vulgore in there "Sig" in the first place. :2thumbsup:

    Well, if you think about it, if you're not active, then no one will ever see whatever link you have in your signature...

    People could still see the sigs or links in old or long threads:).

    However, I think the links needing to get approval would help with that.

    Not sure if it can be done or not, but I will look into it, Vikeadyn.

    I guess having the special sigs for people with 1000 plosts or more would be too restrictive?
