How about a Cruise Critic Question - about signatures???

[Sam.Seattle]

Is there a suggested or appropiate CC signature guideline here? I love the insight a "signature" provides the reader. Some of the graphics speak a thousand words... The one thing that does get annoying is the signatures that are sooooo long they take up a entire screen. Yes, I know I can turn off the signature line, but the good signatures out weigh the few excessively long signatures.

 

Your thoughts???

:D

I'd rather see some limit on photo size as when someone posts one wider than my screen every other post is widened by the same amount and then I have to scroll across the screen to read the thread.

I think this is a good idea. I often have a few windows open as well as a screen devoted to a TV channel on my computer. And none of them full screen. So it's nice if I don't have to scroll back and forth on any of these.

I have the ridiculously large counters posted mostly for my own benefit. I can go to my posts and see how long before all our cruises. Lame, I know. :cool:

 

 

HA!!! No argument here!

I agree

Also how many photos people post in one thread :eek:

 

just put them on a photo website no need to show your whole vacation photos here

 

To the OP

I block signatures ;)

I love watching it count down to my cruise.

 

But after the cruise I delete it. As you also appear to do.

I have no problem with the number of photos it's just not being able to see the photo, or the rest of the page full of threads without having to scroll all over the place.

The poll is difficult to answer because it combines number of lines and font size in the same choice and it doesn't give an option for "doesn't matter to me".

I can easily scroll past long signatures.

I voted for no restictions but I would like to see people remove countdown clocks for voyages sailed years ago.

The third choice should work for you. (no limit)

Agreed. I block avatars, but not signatures. I put users on "Ignore" if their signature is too long, has too many pictures, or if it has one of those little crawling ants... agh! The worst. :p;):D

The poll isn't letting me vote, but I vote leave it as it is.

[Lerin]

Haven't had a problem with any of them.

^^^^^^^^^ This. :)

 

 

I don't understand why someone who has been on a great many cruises lists them in a verticle list, one cruise to a line. Their post might be three lines and the list of their cruises in signature might be 10" or more. If they want to list them all, why wouldn't they type them across the page in normal horizontal set up?

I agree. Either that or take some responsibility when posting....meaning show your looooong signature once then uncheck the "show your signature" box on all future posts on that thread.

[Floridiana]

I've blocked them all because some posters go overboard with length and size.

[paul929207]

I voted for the smallest signature. To me it is a waste of time to have to scroll thru one or more screens of nothing.

[denmarks]

I have created my own personal countdown and a scrolling list of past cruises. It seems to be pleasing to the eye and contains info needed by members of my roll call.

Love this!! Thanks for sharing denmarks

I find the .sigs where people list every elite club they belong to and every cruise they have taken to be egotistical and a waste of space and my time to scroll through. Who cares that you are 20-star with HAL, Carnival Triple Elite and cruised on the Titanic????

I don't mind a single countdown banner for the next cruise. And, I don't mind small avatars. A 3-4 line .sig with small fonts is OK, too.

That sums it up for me too

So have I. Thanks to Ruth C telling me how:D

The list of cruises in the signature make a thread a mile long. I don't know personally anyone on this website, and I don't care when and where you cruised. I would not allow that at all, only in the profiles.

And... I find it interesting to see who is and who is not.... posting a comment here.

 

Yea.... I turned off my signature... (just for this reply):D:D:D
