Massive Signatures Will Be Removed
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2013 3:41 pm
Hello, The big signatures are creeping in, I am spotting four lines of graphics and will give members a few days to update before I remove.
As a rule of thumb - 2 elements are ok.
- It could be a line of text and a 1 line strava graph
- It could be a line of text and a line with a link
- It could be a 1 line strava graph and a 1 line bike journal graph
- A business or blog link to the website and a claim (short and sweet is OK).
Not Ok
- Multiline graphs (instead you can create a link to your rider profile somewhere for interested people to check
- More than two hyperlinks is unreasonable
- Images / Graphics (unless otherwise specifically approved - but generally not)
- Emoticons
- Colours and brightly formatted text
- Two different quotes (stick to one, the most important one)
- Promoting sales, specials
----------
Yes you are important however it is not necessary to see a massive amount of information about your training schedual or collection of bikes in every single post (in the signature). Present simple and quick info - and rather than displaying your entire biography or history, etc - instead create a link - for example to your profile page where you can show this info and much more for readers who are interested.
The result is that threads are easier to read and follow.
