I know this was probably already asked and it was either turned down or i can't find it OR, since this is not a traditional forum, it might never exist.

>By the way, i expect flags, down-votes and what-not.

How about we have some signatures to add to our answers?? It would make the site a little more fun and personalized. Maybe there could be a character limit to it or image limit (if it ever gets that far) so we dont see signatures take up half the answer?? Maybe an even smaller character limit for comments or non altogether.

Good Idea! However, this is not a forum, its a Q&A
No I think he means like right after we answer it shows our signarute
Josh did this for some time. He put "TKOR" and Kyogre and POlitoed icons.
Isn't that the point of the Picture and name below the question/answer?
It would look like this:

@Speed freak: No. That shows who posted. Ninja posted a good example.
@Ninja: I just wanted to see what Pokemaster would say of it. If he says no, that's fine.
Yea. you see?? it's fun. and you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
It might take up a lot of space though.
Yeah, you can still add a little signature thingy at the end if you like, I think that will be okay as long as you keep it small.
I've been doing it for a while now, and no complaints; but I understand Pokemaster's reason with forum signatures which usually take up like 30% space of the actual post, ahaha.

I'm going to be honest here, I can't stand the signatures on most forums, they get way out of hand too quickly with giant flashing images or masses of random annoying pointless text. It gets in the way of the content.

At the moment I think some users sign their name after their answers, which is fine in small doses but don't go nuts with it.

Speed freak is actually right here, the avatar and username is your signature. I may look into expanding that a little in the future though.

So be it. You are right, signatures can get insane. Thank you for taking time to answer.  \m/o_o\m/
