What do you think, about your signatures?

I still recommend using a separate post for your collection, and hyperlink to the post outlining your collection. That way you can include pictures, and comments, not just a list.

This was recommended above too.

Let me combine 2 ideas (if feasible)... it is nice to see the collection as a signature, as long as it is not text for the reason discussed. So how about making the signature jpeg/png like Shadowww did, and additionally link the image with a hyperlink that when clicked can take you to a post with the user collection that might also have comments, photos etc... is this possible?

That is how mine is

I agree is does mess up a search. Now if we can get everyone to implement this simple solution to the problem.

I think it's doable. Let's start mentioning about the issue and linking to this thread when replying to persons having those lists in their signatures.

Note: Don't spam if you don't have anything else to say! Just write your "normal" reply and then "Ps. Listing your lights in signature makes searching harder. Would you please change it? See this thread for instructions."

+1!

+1 great idea on the picture of text rather than text itself

Who's going to tell rikr ....?

He’s going to have a 10MB jpeg file for a sig.

No, problem guys I’ll just delete them…

No no no, it’s really really nice to see someone’s collection! :slight_smile: Well that’s my view, I am sure others have the same opinion. Just make a jpeg/png if possible so that it doesn’t mess up the search results.

Good question. I need to find that out.

Thanks rikr! Highly appreciated.

But since you have a great collection, it would be nice to see it listed somewhere. Maybe you could create a new thread listing all your lights? And maybe add a link to it to your signature? I can help you if needed…

I saved it and sent it to myself in a email because it took me a long time to type it up. I could email you the list pm me your email, if you don’t mind. Thanks for the offer

I'm happy to help you rikr.

Here's my suggestion:
- I create a tread where *everyone* can list their lights
- You reply to that thread (& copy the list to your reply)
- I create a new signature to you (with or without picture, you decide)
- You start using the new signature

=> everyone is happy :)

Newer really had the idea of “list all you got stuff x” -signatures.

Shall we open also a similar “battery collection” thread, to list all rechargeable batteries we have, so that we have a picture of the most commonly used/bought batteries? This will also be a good source for newcomers I suppose…

@ Parkerdude: Super idea and great way to tell everyone. Diplomacy skills -> Check!
@ the Thank you for helping everyone out with this. Very nice of you to do that.

Shouldn’t a size limit on the signature line images be recommended also? Nothing worse that having to wait an hour for everyone’s signature line images to load.
