Aspies For Freedom - Length of Posts

I think I tend to be rather short in my posts, not trying to illustrate stuff further.

It still seems like I'm understood, mostly at least.

I've no problem with people writing long posts.

I see that people often write a big chunk of text as an introduction, which tends to be rather interesting if you take the time.

My recent introduction to a forum wasn't quite so interesting:

Quote:

17 ♂ AS

(You make the ♂ by holding Alt and click 1 on the number pad two times before you release the Alt button)

But you have a large signature box/graphic. These are distracting to me when I am trying to read a page of posts.

Guess I might replace the current with that A-spies HQ Norway logo in my sig.

Better now?

You can avoid the signatures;

Click on 'User CP' above; on the new page: under 'User Control Panel' click 'Edit Options'; and on the new page: in the 'Thread View Options' panel uncheck the box labelled 'Display users' signatures in their posts.'

Done!

Have been abit obsessed with web-designing lately, and have taken advantage of chatroom people's knowledge about HTML and stuff.

Hey I didn't know that. Thanks Tigger. I'm not having any problem at this time but sometimes it makes me crazy if someone has a long sig and I automatically read it thinking it is part of the post, so end up reading the same paragraph over and over and over on their posts till i'm well sick of it Tongue

Something tells me that I should take away that width="25%" thing in the <hr/> in my sig...

Might be more easy to see that it isn't part of the post if there's a bigger line before the sig.

It isn't the first time my signature has been discussed...
I think the only argument I've had with the moderators was about my sig.

This is how my signature looked back then:

The Devil has arrived...

It's the same character I used in my previous AV.

That sig was abit of a shock, one reason was that it didn't have a beard... as my then current AV had.

Pakrat said she got a nightmare about two characters like that chasing her when the discussion about "THE Signature" went on.

I was flattered.

I dunno if it's annoying to others but now i'm inspired to change my avy, maybe one per day for a little while. Just for fun.

Yes, depending on species, their ears are holes on the sides of their head near the bottom outer edge of their eye. It is often about the same size of their eye. But they don't have teeth Big Grin

Didn't the archaeopteryx have teeth? At least that's what I've heard.
