Re: Signature size vs node size

What is your concern about signatures? Waste of space on db and bandwidth or space on screen? We recently added a nice way to disable signatures (see Add CSS class for signatures?), isn't it a good solution in your opinion?

Ciao, Valerio

I'm not sure about that. I think the problem is when people play golf in their sigs (and go for 10 over par) or put their resume in there. A line or two is enough is what is prolly what is being said and the measurements he gave is not about stored space but about probable displayed text. Play that funky music white boy..	[reply]

Oh, well that's why I examined node signatures in the first place. It turns out that it isn't safe to hide pmsig content - 10% of the nodes are being posted inside the pmsig area. Hiding signatures just leaves a bunch of nodes appearing to be empty. Along the way it was convenient to compare node size against signature sizes so I posted this node.	[reply]

10% of the nodes are being posted inside the pmsig area. That seems high. Any idea why this mistake is happening? Hiding signatures just leaves a bunch of nodes appearing to be empty. Only if you ban all signatures. Personally I just strip out the ones that I find annoying on a monk-by-monk basis.	[reply]
