Poll: Do you click links in signatures?

I'm ADD. I click. But then I quickly forget why I clicked and leave.

(And if you're wondering why I clicked "Never" it's because by the time I got to that answer, I'd forgotten the question and just thought that one looked neat.)

Notices shiny glasses on ferret... "ohhh pretty! Im sorry, I forgot what this thread was about."

If one looks interesting, I will - provided it's not in one of those forums where it might not be such a great idea.

And no, mine's nothing naughty - just my totally boring blog about my adventures making dolls.

I'll click, but I'm in the category who gets twitchy when there's more than a line or two in the sig line.

Quotes are cool.

Personally, I think what the book/story/site is like is more enticing. I don't read fantasy, so if the pix, title, etc. look fantasy-like, I'm not very clicky. I could be missing stuff...

And big ol' pix in the sig line make my quills stand up. Yech.

One last thing-- I refuse to go to MySpace, Facebook, or other freinding places. It's an antisocial thing.

The likelihood of my clicking is directly proportional to my estimation of the poster.

And after reading this thread, I hope I haven't contributed to anyone's eyeball cramps with my sig lines. Oh dear.

But, of course, now I'm clicking on the links willy nilly from this thread just because I can't seem to help myself. Thanks a lot, Bart.

I have signatures turned off.

Lol! But you have one! Hardly seems fair...

True, but I don't have to look at it.

I just found the pictures and links and sayings and whatnot took a fair amount of time to scroll through, especially when popping in during lunch at work. No time for a leisurely read any more; I've got the boss staring over my shoulder now.

I'm most tempted to do this; in fact I think I will try it out for a while, my eyes will probably thank me.


I just shut them off, omg, this is fabulous. Much easier on the brain.

Didn't know you could shut them off

Good morning max (it's very early here) - go to UserCP, choose Edit Options, and scroll down to Thread Display Options, "Visible Post Elements". The first one will be "Show Signatures". To shut them off just click on the blue checked box, which will go white, then they're off. Just click it again to turn them back on.

I plan to turn mine on every few months or so just to see if I'm missing anything good in anyone's siggie, then shut them off again.
