the official slogan of Hipbase.com should be - mark - 07-20-2006

"home of the 'nets largest signatures"

i have never seen a board where so many people had such large sigs.

what is up with them?

if your sig is consistantly larger than your average post, then it is time to make it smaller.

haha, i like that.

Yeah, there are definitely some unnecessarily large sigs here. However, I think a more apropos slogan might be:

"Home of the Net's most tolerant Webmaster"

seriously.

take this thread for example

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9478&highlight=">http://hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... highlight=</a><!-- m -->

between the sigs for The Darkest Canuck, Opiated and Jay420, the thread is very difficult to read.

A couple of the boards I read have an option to not view sigs; perhaps Lance could add that feature to Hipbase?

As muh as I love weed, I'd have to agree that TDC's sig is waaaay too big,

- scottitude - 07-22-2006

I've seen boards with a bigger 'big sig' problem but optional viewing is always good.
I don't think bigger is always better and large sigs most often a distraction while reading.

I like TDC's graphic and I wouldn't think it was
any less cool if it was, say, about 60% smaller...

I'm jus' sayin'.

I think that looks a lot better.

Oh for sure, compared to a few boards I visit on occasion this is nothing, I dont really care but sometimes they can be distracting. I always tried to keep mine a reasonable size, it would be nice if others did the same.

It's amazing, but the 60% smaller version actually looks better!

To be honest, the sigs here aren't too bad compared to a couple of boards I visit on occasion...

Amen to that.

I had to put TDC on ignore because I can't afford to have co-workers getting a glimpse of that kind of content when I get a minute to check out the 'base.....

i am not sure if a phpBB can do that or not. maybe it is time to have a donation drive and upgrade to VB

I am up for that, but VB licences are expensive. Hold tight and we will see what the new version of phpbb has to offer.

1. size matters

2. parental advisory: explicit illicit content...

3. admit it, you put me on ignore because you can't handle the truth 8) !
