Signatures

Not meaning to complain, but the scroll bars in the signatures are really starting to get on my nerves. I hate it when you are scrolling through a topic and you are stopped by those things. I know you guys probably don't really care about this, but it also aggrivates my obsessive compulsive disorder. I think the forum would look better without these things. What do you guys think?

Re: Signatures

Well yeah, I have noticed that they can interfere with page scrolling, not to mention advertising stuff like topics is a little harder, since not everyone bothers to scroll down and look.

On the other hand though, they do reduce the page sizes, and I think that was the main reason why they were applied.

Hmm... I'll need to think and see what others say before I vote in the poll...

EDIT: I've voted that they don't really both me much. I kinda have mixed views.

Re: Signatures

It is the most efficient way to pre-screen all signatures for size constraints.

Re: Signatures

I don't know why people need to have such tall signatures that we'd need these things anyway....

Could there maybe be an option people could set to just hide the overflow instead of having a scrollbar?

Re: Signatures

I suppose so, but is it really that important?

Re: Signatures

I'm annoyed by them too. Everytime I scroll up the page, it takes me an extra few seconds because the other scrollbars get caught in it.

I personally try to ignore it, but seeing how the forum is really starting to improve, I feel it should be changed. Especially since most of the time there is just that little 10 px increase, and it's hard to see the entire sig without scrolling.

Re: Signatures

It's not too important, but it would be a nice feature.

I think people should just have shorter signatures, but obviously not everyone's going to cooperate with that unless some kind of limit against signature height is imposed.

Re: Signatures

I suggest you place your cursor over the left column where the avatars are displayed then scroll with your scroll wheel that way. I'm not removing the scrolling of signatures because it helps keep the pages shorter instead of having a bunch of super long signatures.
