Anybody else like to see sig's, with members system info in it? :)
That is not as popular here, but I still like to see what others are running on their system.
I seem to respect opinions more, from a guy reporting on issue with the card he runs.
Guys running on a red or green card, posting on the other in a negative way, I take with much more caution. ;)
Anyway, I wish more would list their system specs. :up:
If I would list my system specs on all the rigs I run, you'd have to scroll for a minute after every post I make :rofl:
Seriously though, my impression is that most people are listing at least some of their specs. I just wish more would use the [size=1] tag :p:
I just did, Select all text, then select size 1... Done! :cool:
I personally find it annoying when everybody has their specs showing, down to the last little quarter-inch of tubing, when half of it is unnecessary. I can't help but feel like half of it is a penis-measuring contest. I just have the three specs that I think are of any importance, I removed the rest a while back. This could have to do with declining technical interest though, I've found myself giving less and less of a damn nowadays. Photography has clearly overtaken computers by me and my time on this forum has decreased too, which not only has to do with change of interests, but that's another story.
Each to his own. :)
I do not think you really need to list every rig. Listing the main rig that you use every day is more than enough.
I turned sigs off, partly because of people listing their rigs.
I feel there's something wrong when 90% of the screen is covered by sigs in most threads. Just listing rig(s) seems particularly pointless, as I doubt many people care. A better solution, IMO, would be to move rigs over to a link/mouse-over pop-up/etc in the area around the avatar.
I have seen a few forums with that setup. That would work fine as well and keep the sigs a little more empty :p:Quote:

I can understand that, though they might have had one or the other before the current opposite as well...Quote:

I'm with you on that, size=1 keeps it readable but it doesn't take that much space, so it's the perfect solution in my opinion.Quote:

Maybe it would be a good idea to have a sig rig form to standardize things. :)Quote:

i agree with gomeler
some :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: at another forum...overc*ock.*et shows some really insane specs...like dual i9's ...whatta douche
system identfiiers like cpu-z is my choice.but it only identifieds the cpu..mobo..and the ram..
I like it when folks have links to a work log if they have one. I think people's preferences for signatures (or not) depends on where their interests lie. Never have cared for really large signatures.
i dislike being labeled for owning a particular product. yeah, it happens. seeing a lot of i7's actually made me get one though.distributed computing banners are always welcomed . i used to think they didnt matter but thats how a lot of people end up joining teams. a lot of people stick to only a couple of sections so you gotta go after them.
I would have to keep updating it so I just usually list what I am testing - as I would have a laundry list of things to update or change every day LOL
Signatures can be misleading without something. It's why I like to add pics, CPU-Z etc. People do react differently with different signatures. It's kind of funny actually.
my sig is perfect..ive spent much time on it
you can CLICK on my folding stats:D
i only wish.....

I used to have my rig in my sig but I havent really been messing with it so whats the point? I like using my signature for other purposes anyway. Its an expression of me, people know me before I even open my mouth (or type... :p:), :)
As long as it does not turn into the evga forums, I am fine. That place turned into an ad market in everyone's post b/c of all the pretty sigs made. It's annoying as hell.Quote:

+1...
The quality of answers you receive in the net, is directly related to others knowing your system specs. :up:
The button they have at the Rage3D forums that has rig specs in a drop down is pretty cool.
I've had signatures hidden in profile option for years now.
I have no need to list my rig in every post, cause I hardly ever discuss it. And I really have no interested in what parts people have in their systems, how many computers or folding points they have, etc. And I don't think it's practical to have system specs in signature at all - many forums have a clickable "system specs" dropdown list on the left, below the avatar. Works great for those interested, and is not annoying at all to those not interested.
I'd prefer signatures were just, signatures, restricted to 2-3 lines of text only at size=1 and non-intrusive font colors.
na I hate those - they usually disappear of my monitor, then when I scroll to see the rest it stops 'dropping down' :mad:Quote:
