Re: Colored screen names
 

signatures would be much better. Espeecially if limited to not too many characters.

Re: Colored screen names
 

Signatures are lame. What needs to happen is fix the ignore function. If I am ignoring somebody, I don't want to see their avatar or even *You are ignoring this user*. Make it so they don't exist.

I mean, if we're really that concerned about presentation, there's about 1500 avatars and horrible screen names that need to die too.

Users have the option to turn off avatars. Colored screen names are there whether you want them or not. That makes it pretty different, in my opinion.

you seem to be missing the part where Mat decided and im not trying to put it off on him because I agreed with it but its a done deal.

Re: Colored screen names
 

yea, i knew that too, don't know why i made it soundn like something we could change.. guess it was jsut a complaint about how it happened.

But anyways, it's no biggie.

* re-enable signatures
* separate display name from login name so that users can change their names at will
* start a "graemlins" thread, and then add the images posted to the thread as new graemlins

For the love of God, please do not do any of this. These changes would make 2+2 nearly unreadable.

seriously, part of what I love about 2+2 is the lack of signatures. If it could me made that sigs were 1 or 2 lines, text only, that would be cool, but we don't want to wind up with [censored] like this. How freakin annoying is it to have signatures that are 4x longer than the average post?

I agree with this...

However, I think that the coloured screen names was a good idea...After all, this forum is a learning resource and although people didn't like the look of the colours...its only a laugh....

For the record, I would hate to see signatures on these forums, for the very reason tony pointed out.

Dynasty asked for suggestions on what would cause another mod tempest, and those things came to mind.

I thought the colored name thing was rather poor from a site-usability standpoint (colored names do mean something, after all). But it was silly and fun for a while.

The only one of those suggestions I made that fits this description is the graemlin thing. Silly and fun for a while to see this mess for a day or two.

.sigs only work on boards that cater to a high non-idiot population.
