Removal of signatures is a huge improvement. There's nothing worse than scrolling through the same junk that nobody cares about over and over again.
1) yes, some people had excessive signatures. Your sig should never be longer than your post. But,
2) removing the ability to have signatures is not a step in the right direction.
Uh, you can still have signatures (as you'll notice below this reply). You can't have images in them anymore, however.
You can't see the Sig unless you're viewing the "full site", not in Mobile view.
Two questions:
1) How do you get to that part of editing your profile? When I edit my profile it looks nothing like that. The only things it will let me change are my username, my email, and my favorite game from a list of three.
2) how the hell did you get the background to be blue?
As noted above, I use Firefox on an iphone if that matters (apparently it does).
having it at a larger font makes it more readable for sure.
i do find it rather to bright, i much preferred the black background. this one hurts the eyes a bit.
also, "IFrames" putting the discussions into a "page frame" format would allow you to keep the discussion navigation controls in the top and corner while scrolling down the posts.
Presently, i am also finding it difficult to locate threads i am looking for.
so no more signatures.??? i guess we will just have to go back to typing it and inputting them into our posts every time.

This may be slightly different on mobile -- I only access the forums on my computer -- but first, of course, go into "Edit Profile"...
Then, on the right, select "Signature Settings"...
2) how the hell did you get the background to be blue?
As noted above, I use Firefox on an iphone if that matters (apparently it does).
I use a browser plugin. In the screenshots above, I temporarily disabled it for the sake of simplicity. You can find all the details of what I used and how it looks by visiting my profile.

Okay, so it is VERY different for mobile.
First, i call up the sidebar and vist my profile.
Then i call the sidebar up again, and now it will offer "edit profile"
And that takes me here:
Where I can't do any if the things you did.
Good news, though: Clicking the "full site" thing below "edit profile" makes the site look a lot better (but still pretty bad).
Thanks, Shan -- the automatic redirect to these new forums seems to have been disabled.
Without the "/stt" at the end of that URL, it does get kicked back here, but at least we now have a direct link to the old forums that works. And all the direct links to the sub-forums also now work.

Beg to differ.
You may have to edit your profile to see signatures in posts...

Thank you so much for helping to get that changed, Shan!

and the fact that i can no longer even visit the old forums without being instantly redirected here makes me feel like DB is trying to hide something.
You should be able to access the old forums, try this link please?
