Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
Restrictions for having signatures? Sounds a bit harsh but may work...I think limiting the length of signatures is the best option, anyway...

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
I just hope that my signature doesn't get cut. I mean- it has the entire purpose of being me listed there ;)

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
The only issue about your signature is that you should, IMO, sort everything in 1-2 lines. Also, instead of writing colored text and adding a link near it, you should rather use a colored text that also serves as link. :)

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
Agreed on limiting it vertically, but urling a piece of text overrides any and all colour settings.

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
I would also suggest dropping the glowy text and using coloured text instead, as glowy text makes the listing of the entire purpose for being you unreadable (and very annoying) to everyone who uses Firefox. Which I suspect is a fairly large percentage of this forum's regulars.

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
I know - mine was an example. My intent was to show that colors and glows can be mixed.

Also, Italics rule.

The reason they are so is cause there'd be multiple links :P

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
The colors in the Lithuanian flag should be sorted this way: Li-etu-va.

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
No, actually the yellow part is the biggest IIRC.

And :nervous: I think this thread has served its purpose, it's going just slightly off-topic now... I think...

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
Actually, those flag colours shouldn't go from left to right, but from top to bottom.

And all colours should be of the same size, but you can't givide 7 by 3.

FSF, get on MSN. And that's not a request.

Ahh, much better. Finally my year-long crusade against that damn glow tag can come to an end :D

You killed the glow tag... Hillarious. :D

I especially like SG's new signature.

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
For now. Even so, I prefer that to the previous look though. At least it doesn't make my eyes bleed. And if it getting worse for a little while is what it takes for it to get better, than I'm fine with that.

Which means that anyone stupid enough to stick them in their sig now has no excuse when their sig gets purged later. :p

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
Fine, removed my signature entirely. Happy now? Abusing your damn moderator/admin powers just cause you didn't like someone's signature? At least my signature wasn't annoying spam like that iamzack's posts and threads were. So at the first mention of my signature you edit it, while you let her spam everywhere just cause she was a woman? My signature was meant to show the most recent important events of the mods I am involved in.

Well, whatever, guess it's your kind of fun, huh? Thanks for acting like assholes.

Re: Flags in signatures, what about them?
Acting like assholes? You're the one who kept using a non-standard tag that was poison on the eyes of everyone not using IE, despite being informed of this. So half the forum has to suffer just for you to enjoy your IE-only glowiness? Much of your sig wasn't even readable to anyone not on IE, making it entirely pointless in the first place.

I strongly support the admins in having made this change, as that tag was insanely annoying and clearly people could not be trusted to not abuse it.
