The Tools of Satan
Can you see people's signatures? Or do you have them disabled, like any decent person should?
I have them disabled. I remember when we first got the option at this message board to disable viewing signatures. That was, without any hint of exaggeration, the happiest day of my life. Nowadays when I click on people's usernames to view their profiles, and I see a signature there, it's like a score of tiny red-hot needles stabbing into my eyes.
I keep my signature around now for historical reasons. I always used to have this fear that a staff member could change my signature to something evil and I wouldn't notice for a month because I never see it anyways. That's just one of the many evils that can be accomplished via signatures. These days I take precautions against such an eventuality.
To disable signature viewing, you can follow these steps:
1) Click on User CP, at the top of every page.
2) Click on Edit Options.
3) Scroll down to find the section called "Visible Post Elements". UN-check the "Show Signatures" check box.
4) Click on the Save Changes button.
Please share ways in which signatures have ruined your life, as they have come so close to ruining mine on so many occasions.

. But sometimes when I am scrolling up or down a page with the mouse in the middle, I will accidentally click on one that is a link to god knows where land and that kind of makes me the opposite of happy. Although, I guess that's my fault for not having control over my clicking.
I would hate to miss out on the wonderful siggy's some people come up with.
