I think we should be able to have links in out signatures. As you can see in my signature, I am trying to link to my photography. I had to keep shortening the message to fit the "500 characters" rule. What happens if I take more photographs in the future and I don't have enough room? It would be really convienient to be able to link to pages instead of having to put in the URLs or revive an old thread and say, "Hey! I added more pictures! Go check em' out!" every time I take more pictures and put them online. Plus more people would see my pictures. I'm sure many of the members on here agree about this for whatever reason. Maybe they want to put there home page in thier sig. So I ask you mods, can we put links in sigs.? Or are we doomed to the linkless sig. forever?

I tried it also, it did not work, I was given the reason for that, which was quite plausible, but I now forgot it.

I'm ambivalent on that.

Use tunyurl to give you a short link to the big one - http://tinyurl.com/

I think that we should be allowed to use code in our sigs, so we can put pics imn them and stuff.

It would have a downside, more people would have a ad in there sig, and it would distract us from Ucp.

NO WAY>
It woudl destroy UCP>
As soon as kiddies start putting "cool" images in their sigs the whoel thing ends up stinking.
it's near impossible to read anything and follow a discussion.
Keep that sheeat for kiddie forums.
How did I guess you'd liek it Karrmann ??
PLEASE compare a thread on UCP on a technical detail or sharing REAL pictures with ones that let eeryoen have pics. Go see that poxy forum the caddi brothers tried to set up.
NO WAY.

Well, you guys can fight it out now but now that I know of tinyurl.com it doesn't really matter to me. :p

I voted no, it would scream for attention in a thread similarly to the way sig pics would.

i think we should have url links, but NOOOOO images. i HATE the way forums that let people do that look. theyre so cluttered and ugly. NO WAY. but we should be able to link to sites and stuff.

Actually, I wouldn't mind links if they were 'clickable' but not underlined and in blue text. Would it be possible to have the links appear as normal unformatted text on v3 forums? I don't like the look of links, stick out like a sore thumb to me. :o

What do you think the avatar is there for?

If people wanted to put things bigger than that in their sigs, it would not be good for anyone, and you'd probably moan about someone having a pic



Too big
something about you
something "offensive"

I dont see anything wrong with simple links. if you want more subsribers then make it a premium option.

i vote no for both. not allowing images is quite possibly the easiest decision possible, and URL's can be flat out annoying. people could easily accidentally click them all the time

I don't remember ever accidentaly clicking a URL. And is it that hard to click "back"? Or the "X"?
