What if everyone had a sig?
Discussion
One of the things I miss about this forum - that most other forums have - is a signature below the post with the poster's car/s listed.
I often don't remember what models some people have now without going to the Garage section.
Since there doesn't seem to be a workaround, I'm using my text expander program to place a sig under every post I make from now on.
It would be great if everyone did this, and it would be especially helpful for new posters.

Sorry, but sigs are not allowed.

Why? It's covered in one's profile if you're that interested assuming the poster has bothered to fill it in. In the early days Pistonheads went through the all questions about avatars, sigs and other claptrap and rejected it all to remain a clean simple forum.

I don't mind sigs. And on one make forums it's fine, although long sigs can take up too much screen room and pics can be distracting or simply too loud if you are browsing discreetly.I often don't remember what models some people have now without going to the Garage section.

But worst of all, on a forum like PH, it would just be a case of willy waving.

Sorry, but this subject has been raised many times in the past even when Ted owned the site.
They have never been allowed as it was deeemed then as it is now it just makes the posts/threads look untidy.
Also covered at the same time were avitars, these were also declined.
HTH.

As I said previously then. They have never been allowed as it was deeemed then as it is now it just makes the posts/threads look untidy.

Just the Aston/s we own now. I see it as a reference point for discussion. If someone talks about their Vanquish - as happened a short while ago, it would have been interesting to know it was an S. I would have replied in quite a different way knowing that many improvements had been made between mine and theirs. te signature ETA

Interesting responses. I certainly didn't expect any of these.
All I am suggesting is that we put our current Aston in a signature. I've put a sold list of my previous Astons because I believe the history shows I'm an enthusiast of the brand (though it would probably be a retrograde step if I owned a Cygnet).
After all, we're here because of our passion for this unique brand - why hide our ownership?
I don't see anything in the T&C that stops us.

Sorry, but if you leave a signature on any post it will get removed by routine when seen or reported.

Not all of our rules are written, they are currently under review and hopefully from all our points of view and for clarity, unwritten rules will be a thing of the past. Gassing Station | Website Feedback | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
