Serious question...

[Smashy]

Why do several people sign their post by putting their name on the bottom while they have a sig(nature) under it?

I really don't understand =o

 

[davehc]

That is not really a serious question?
Why put Avatars. Why attach standard messages as a signature. Its just a bit i fun. Totally uneccessary, agreed. Does it bother you a lot?

 

[mansrm81]

Its just what they want to do.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Yes, I don't understand why some people would do such a silly thing as that.

Guess you missed my point...


*looks at bare foot kid's post*

Exactly...you're doing that yet you can't answer my question

 

[mansrm81]

Maybe they don't want there name in the sig area.

It's basic letter writing composition.

Just because a signature is automatic doesn't mean they kick the habit that's been drilled into them since highschool english.

im thinking that was taught in elementary school

If you check a few of BareFoot Kid's post's, he does make a few , you will actually notice that they are often subtley different - The Later Ted is the same but the smiley differs with his Mood or the mood of the post

Interesting Thread Title...considering the discussion...

I hope ye dont end up calling each other names.

There's no chance of that they're all good friends around here and you only have to look at Ted's smileys to know when he's joking or being serious.

By the way my name is in my sig so no need to add it again

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

I've got a new sig I'm working on and I'd like your input!




















Later Ted, Slightly-Later Ted, Even-Later Ted, No-Show :sa: Ted.....One day :huh: Ted, you'll turn up late for your own Funeral , and then put it on the backburner. :devil: Ted

The real reason is because if you loo at 'professional' signature lines, you start with your name, then include your contact info, and possibly a logo.

Well, on an 'anonymous' forum such as this, contact info can be good...or bad. Moreover, most like to show off something - a link, a banner, an image, etc. - but it makes no sense to put such items after your name.

Consider it in this form - you post is a letter, which you sign off with closing and signature, and then ad a post scriptum with additional info. I pretty much follow that format as everything after my name is additional material that will most likely be irrelevant to the post I am writing and yet something that I want everyone who reads any of my posts to see.

Does that help explain it?

 

[davehc]

Smashy. To return to your op.
If it is really bugging you, you can turn them off in your CP options. I do it automatically when I join a forum and only just realised, after a couple of days, that I needed to turn it on again to see what was troubling you!!
