So I'm lurking "success stories" again, and noticed there are no signatures! What happened?

    Apparently, the Site settings have been updated to choose ticker or not, but no "signatures".

    Starting from the top, click: Community > Message Boards > Settings > then check "show ticker"


    Hmmmm.

  • Probably because of all the complaints. Many were too long and obnoxious

    Solutions...

    Track your challenges in a group!

    Post your quotes on your profile!

    This way, everyone isn't subjected to seeing everything you want to put out there.

    Plus, why waste mods' time moderating the crap people put in them, and having to create policies around them? Blah. Great decision, MFP!

    Sorry but just deleting them without telling us was flat out wrong. Steven replied on another thread that only MFP tickers are allowed now.

    I don't know but it's a welcome change. Some people had tremendously long signatures.

    Probably "clogging" up message boards due to sheer volume of posts too. Takes a lot more space w/a signature than without.

    I'm not sure why sig pictures couldn't just be limited to whatever x whatever pixels.

    I'm glad they are gone. Signatures are stupid in my opinion. I don't want to see your political views, enormous photos (especially gifs), etc. every single time you comment on something. And some people did have offensive signatures.

    I miss my sig! But I'll live without it. It's just not worth getting upset over.

    They could have limited the size without eliminating them altogether.

    I will miss my Taeyang sig...but more importantly I am a bit worried ppl will think I am anorexic as my goal weight is extremely low for NORMAL height ppl >.< Gah, I put my height on my sig so ppl would stop bugging me.

    I'll gladly sacrifice my quote for not seeing annoyingly long signatures. But what if people don't want their ticker as their sig? Can they no longer just put a few words down?

    I think it's a great idea, but I also think it would be nice if Mike and Steven notified members of changes prior to implementing them.

    I approve.

    Some of those were ridiculous. Giant pics with lists of names like it was the Vietnam Memorial Wall...

    I'm ok with it, people got their groups so I am ok with sacrificing signatures just as long as I don't have to see anymore whining/b!tchfest about not being about to post this or that.

    Dang. I used my sigline to let people know that I'm a Certified Personal/Group Fitness trainer! Oh well.

    I'm kind of sad. I was proud to show my progress with my weights. But that was just numbers. Oh well...

    605 posts and you still don't have a pic? Do you need help adding one? :P

    I love your optimism. Human nature being what it is though...

    I miss seeing my name because I have such a pretty name. Well I guess I can still include it in my posts.

    **snicker***

    I didn't even notice!

    The boards were getting cloggy with the huge sigs, though.........and they take up bandwidth, which I'm sure the makers of this fabulous website want to preserve so we can beeetch and rant about it all!

    muahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    They got rid of mine a while back. It broke the rules apparently. :sad: I think they did a lot of cleaning up last night.

    Your ticker only displays how much you want to lose, and have lost. it says nothing about your total weight or height.

    I absolutely hate that the signatures are gone. My ticker on here is bloody pointless, it does not reflect in any fashion the actual weight I have lost.
