L O N G pages
I have seen here on MOC before where members have complained about L O N G pages, usually resulting from L O N G signature lines. Now I really enjoy the signature lines, reading them & seeing everyone's creativity, etc. I myself have quite a large Signature Line. However to make it so a thread page, which consist of I believe 10 replies, or maybe it's 9 on the first page with the topic starter post (?); sometimers kicking in here ; can equal out to a very L O N G page with a bunch of scrolling. This can be very aggravating to some members.
What I do to help eliminate some of this is to only have my signature line box checked once per page. Sometimes granted I forget or miscalculate where my latest post will end up, then I go back & edit to remove the check box for my signature line. I think Brad/bsmeaton does it as well. I figure no one needs to or probably wants to see my signature line that much anyway.
So I am suggesting that maybe more of us could do that too?
Another trick while on the road or when one has a slow connection is to go to your profile near the bottom by where you compose your signature line there is this option: View Signatures in Posts?: Right there is a drop down menu & you can click it to NOT view signatures in posts. That will help in that situation.
There is also a way to eliminate or reduce the quality of graphics on each computer, but currently I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it. Perhaps some kind soul can explain how to do that? That also will speed up MOC-surfing when you have a less than stellar connection.
These are just my tricks & suggestions & are in no way meant to tell anyone what to do.

See here you go! Just an example of what I was saying above.

I have been straying from excluding my signature in posts in the same thread. I have done it in the past and thanks to the reminder will return to doing it now.

I can never remember to uncheck the signature block. Partly that's because I like seeing the signatures and not having to go hunting for them in an earlier post. However, in the interest of reducing a problem I'll try to do better.
Also, I think looooong signatures are more problem than multiples of the same signature. Or at least just as much a problem. Including mine. So, I reduced the size of mine.

I keep the signature feature turned off all the time and have for quite a while now. I got tired of signatures over a page long.

I have not received any complaints concerning our signature but perhaps I'm now opening the door for that. On the other hand I enjoy the signatures because I feel it gives the posting somewhat of an individual personality.

I keep it short, I hope.
I also learned something new today.
I don't know if I'll remember to uncheck the box, but at least I learned something.
Thanks.

If there is a problem, then I can uncheck if the occasion presents itself. I have in the past, just because I, myself, didn't like to see all the scrolling. Didn't know there was a problem, though...
Redundancy may be good for shuttle missions, but maybe not here.
