Ability to hide signatures for particular members

Well you can turn off sigs as an option without resortng to full lite set (Like I do) but I appreciate that's not really what you're after. I second the suggestion of stats on the subject though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So for one day or perhaps only for a few hours should I get enough PMs asking me to change my sig that I have that sig I now am now on a bunch of people's ignore lists. I've now changed my ava/sig. It doesn't annoy the piss out of people anymore. In fact it's pretty groovy. People are lazy. All those users that put me on their ignore lists for that brief moment more likely than not aren't going to remove me from their ignore list. That takes effort. Also they'll need to know my user id (11) to remove me from the list. I don't really like the thought that because of a relatively quick and cheap laugh that some folks might just take a click to remove because bleeding eyes are owy that I am now without a signature for practically ever.

I propose that either in the same way you can add people to your ignore list that you can remove them from it too by clicking on their name here in the forums. You'll at least notice a new avatar. You might think well hell check out dat new avatar maybe it has a sig with it that don't make me go all googlyeyes. OR! Make it so when a person makes a new change to their sig that it removes them from everyone's ignore signature list. Problem with that idea is that folks could just do a minute edit with the shitty sig so perhaps an extra checkbox indicating that this is a new signature and ask permission from folks that have added that signature to the ignore list to approve the signature and when approved that person is removed from the ignore signature list.

man signatures are serious biz

Everytime you change your avatar I check your profile to see the sig that goes with it. That way I see what you've done but don't have to fuck about turning sigs on and off. I'll often check people's profiles to see their sigs if they have an interesting avatar and 8 times out of 10 my choice to browse with the things turned off is reaffirmed.

And I still think the dimension limits are too big.

Edit: CHz, coudl you possibly make it so you're taken back to where you were rather than the main page after blocking a sig from someone's name in-thread?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nope, I get redirected to the main home page, as I did when using the plane week FOX-2 link. I'm using IE7 on this computer which is probably something to do with it as the redirect seems to work properly on my phone's browser.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nah, it still takes me back to the main forum page. It's no biggie really, I browse with sigs off anyway so it's not a feature I'm going to be using often...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
