Nohbody Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I use GIMP plus the animation packageyou'd probably find it clunky, but that's what I use Thank you gollgagh. Hopefully this will work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I can't remember the last time that actually happened I've never seen that happen on the OCR forums myself but I wouldn't be too surprised if some one tries that some day. All the more reason for an option to block a particular poster's images of their choosing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohbody Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 guys, Im sure you can handle stupid sigs. Your scrolling finger just has to take one for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I never use my scroll wheel, because it's stupidly slow anyway and I don't feel like trying to figure out how to fix it. Personally, I don't really care. When someone has an obnoxiously large sig, it usually just makes me laugh... Though it would be nifty if we had an option where you could turn off all sigs of a certain size or larger. You could add in an option to turn off that ugly sidebar while you're at it. (jk plz don't ban me.) That would probably take more coding than it's worth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohbody Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Dont mean to bitch but what was the point of this? There are several people who either wont get the memo or just wont change their sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Dont mean to bitch Then don't. This isn't really up for discussion, you know. but what was the point of this? The point is that people make sigs that are too big. Large sig graphics are annoying and break up the flow of conversation. There are several people who either wont get the memo or just wont change their sig. It's stickied in Community where most forum related announcements go. It's reasonable to expect people to check out the stickies once in a while. If you don't change your sig, you'll be asked nicely to change it. If you don't change it, we'll change it for you, and if you continue to break the rule, you'll just get banned. Please keep in mind that 250 pixels tall for just graphics is pretty generous.

Nohbody Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If you don't change it, we'll change it for you please replace their sigs with mine, I want an entire forum full of the salesman.

Sinewav Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yeah, the mods here are pretty quick, and they get stuff done. Also, they'll probably never do it, but replacing violators' sigs with the salesman is a hilarious idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwaltzvald Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just how intrusive would a change of coding on the site would be if it gave the option to block a particular poster's sig? I recall on another thread one poster made a statement where he/she had blocked another poster. While I understand this may just be refering to PMs, in the thread it seemed as if he/she had the option to not even see the offending poster to begin with once blocked on any thread. If this is the case, wouldn't simply copy/pasting the same coding except changing it to refer to individual posters only be a clear fix rather than disturbing the site's coding altogether..?

DarkeSword Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 That kind of thing is controlled by the forum software. To implement a feature like that is to actually dig into the source code for forum itself which is something you really don't want to mess around with. It's not as simple as just copy-and-pasting. vBulletin does have a plug-in system. If any enterprising programmer wants to take a stab at creating a plugin that allows people to ignore specific users' sigs, have at it. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=198 But please keep in mind that such a feature is probably not worth implementing in the first place. If a signature just annoys you, suck it up and deal with it. If a signature is actually offensive, then it should be changed, in which case you should talk to a mod about it. But stuff like the Nohbody's sig, while potentially annoying to some people, isn't offensive and is perfectly fine as far as sigs go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, I just became more curious if it's possible at all. Nonetheless thanks for the info Now to see if there's a way to make the side bar disappear just as one can with making the task bar disappear on a windows pc via plugin.

Bleck Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If a particular person has a signature that annoys you, use AdBlock. It's a plug-in for FireFox that let's you block specific pieces of media from loading, be it advertisements or images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
