Now that I think about this, why should i care?
Shouldn't it be more important that people come to FTE to get their problems solved, and not have to wade through the masses of stuff in the GC?
Kinda pointless really to have a sig now. I don't know why i tried to save it. Oh well.

Kinda a chilly feeling in the forum....
I can see the admin. points, and frankly, I do not disagree w/ them, although, it is (was) nice to make a quick statement (less then 6 or 7 words) of who you are.
I.E. "Support your local Firemen and Policemen!"
I use this example because this is what was removed from my sig, but this is who I am, and cant a sig. a be SHORT statement of who you are??? Thanks guys, just venting, I've no hard feelings at all, just a few questions I had. Thanks...

This isn't the only things being trimmed.
Other things like a user post 3 things in a row rather than clicking EDIT and just adding a little more text instead of clicking post reply to add a sentence.
The computer has to re-load all the user's information again. 'Waste of bandwidth'
Can you not mention it in discussion, or place it somewhere else in your profile.
The bill for FTE's bandwidth is the length of a novel.
Reducing say 15KB of text
spread over how many users & posts >
& un-necessary re-posting because they didn't use the edit instead
plus,
add photos,avatars,
Every little bit helps.

Have avatars been done away with?
Also, Ken or whoever. I've notice that some sites only load a poster's signature the first time they post in a thread. Perhaps thats something you can consider to help open up the bandwidth etc. I don't know if that is feasible with your software.

Ya, I tried to put an avatar on with my name, but could'nt get them to work, so have they been done away with? Trust me, I do see what you are saying about the bill, and thank you for the site, it's great.

User's who repeatedly repost the removed content lose the
feature completely. 3 strikes.
User's can Llst Mod's in their gallery
List personal thoughts in your profile, But Not in one's signature.
The word signature relates to One's name.
Very few users put their name's in their sig,but would rather put a list of 10-20 things like Modifications & Smilies instead of adhering to the rules on FTE!

That's nice, but I never got three strikes. My sig was "modified" once, then after that it was deleted and I wasn't allowed to change it. I dont think that adds up to three.....?

As noted in another post, due to the enormous bandwidth increase in the last month we're temporarily turning off avatars for all user's except for: moderators, admins and Club FTE members.
