August 13, 1999, 13:45

come on markg it would be easy (or let me look at the script) all u have to do is add CHECKED to the <INPUT> tag and it would make life better because most people want their sig in all mssages

Acting in my role as Federation Governor, I know I speak for all 14 Chronicles posters.

We do not want to see signatures added as the default - would ruin the story continuity

Yes: 1
Nay: 15

sorry, 1/16

Maybe. Perhaps. Depends.

Googlie can not do that!

YES

2/4

Markos,

For those that want it, why not include a check box in preferences:

ie:

Signature Checked by Default: always include your profile signature. Only registered users may do this.

This would make everyone happy regardless!

Im not saying your sig would automatically apear in every thread. the little box would just start out checked, if u didn't want it to show your sig you could just uncheck it. The option in your profile woule be better, but alas, that is a lot harder to do.

EVC, of course everything can happen, but this doesnt mean that I can do it

I was doing a search for something compleatly different, and I found this. I know it has beenat the bottom of the post list for a year; sorry if the fact I revived it messes up anyone's day. I want to have the box checked by default. Want it bad. Oh so bad…

I don't care if it is defalt, if it is a prefrence, or whatever. Just give me the box checked from the start!!

Yes - I don't use a sig at the moment because I always forget to select the option to show it in my post.

Narck · April 12, 2000, 02:04

Hey, don't bump threads that don't need to be bumped...

Glad this idea was never enforced, since I really don't like it.

Make the sig box a sticky selection if you must, but I'd rather people didn't interrupt the flow of the discussion with pointless signatures. If you want to be witty, be witty within your post.

Whatever you decide, don't let it be 'have sig' by default.

ghen · April 12, 2000, 07:48

I would always forget to un-check it! do you want this after every post I make? I don't think so

Leave it the way it is... If your signature is THAT IMPORTANT, you should be able to remember to check the box.

Tom DeMille · April 12, 2000, 13:36

I would vote agains't having more signatures accidentally being appended to short posts. I find them rather like tv commercials. Funny the first time, but after that I'd rather just hit the fast forward button.

------------------
Heck, I don't even have a signature. This one is fake.

A big fat NO.

I vote no because then all of the threads will be lengthen with text that no one will ever read. And dont now say: "But well you can uncheck the box anyway" Cause then I am replying: "But when you want your signature to be included just check the box!"

adaMada · April 12, 2000, 20:08

Then could you please (for those of us who do want it) make it a prefrence? Pleeeeese. I'm not so much saying that it needs to be checked for everyone, just that I want mine to be checked by default.

Narck: This very much needed to be bumped. If I hadn't found it, I would have posted the idea in a new thread (which I've been planning to do for a while).
