Just a couple of timely reminders about Signatures and Quoting...
I've just been reading threads, and there are a few people who's signatures are too long. I usually PM everyone individually, but this time there are a few, so I thought it was time for a reminder.
The 'rules' for signatures can be found HERE
Please note the number of lines is in total, blank lines count. The reason behind the limit is so that posts don't become too long and so that we can maximise the number of posts per page to assist slow loading dialup times.
The other reminder is about quoting.
For those who may be unaware, and seemingly there are a few There's a little button at the bottom of each thread that says 'reply'. There is NO NEED to use the 'quote' button unless you ACTUALLY want to quote what a previous person is saying.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT use the quote button to fully quote the post immediately before yours in it's entirety. It makes it slower to load for the dialup people, and generally takes up unnecessary space.
If you do use the 'quote' facility, please delete those parts of the quoted text to which you are not replying.
Generally, be considerate of people on dialup.
Thanks
