        I voted yes to bringing back the sig's, 'cause that was the original question. Why? I'm lazy and don't want to have to go find my feedback forum thread, and send the URL to someone I've done business with just so I can get some feedback. That's just me, though.

        As for image hosting, I do need to get off my buttocks and find a decent site to post all my collected images to so I can share 'em with the world. *sigh* More googlin' ahead.

            With the way the servers have been loading in the past 6 months, I say no.

            I'd love a sig, but I dont think its technologically posible on this server

                Agree. I'd like sigs so I can find my feedback thread and maybe put a link to my homepage. But I actually voted No because in many ways sigs are just another way to allow immature idiots a store window to display exacty how idiotic they are. Seeing sigs like, "My sig is better than Bob's" and then Bob's sig "No it's not"...might be slightly funny for a second or two...but from there it just gets annoying.

                  1) If FINDING your feedback link is difficult, you can still put it in your signature, which is viewable when you click any member's user profile.

                  2) Good free image hosting: http://www.imageshack.us
                  You can set up accounts so you can keep all your images together, it's free, it's fast, it provides thumbnails... just use it and stop whining about AO not providing even more free services that strain the already stressed servers.

                    Mobster Simply asked what our opinions were, is it okay to have ours, or if we dissagree we're just whining?

                    I think what most people are saying is that they would like to be able to go back and look at the old pictures more so then to use the attach image option.

                    Honestly, Id love to go back and browse the old pics again, and I have to admit it was easier to just attach images then continually make my hosted links. Not that i have a problem with it, its just one more easy step for me.

                      I'd rather the system include my sig, and do it only once per page. Requiring the hosting of images to be one "your own" server would be fine. But, as Beemer said, they aren't really gone...

                          For a while while sigs were enabled, webby implemented a script limiting sigs to being displayed only once per user per page. Also, images were eventually required to be hosted on non-AO servers. STILL the system was abused by enough people that Tom decided they just weren't worth the trouble. (Abused as in sigs that were too large, or inappropriate in any number of ways)

                            I also think the problem was more than just images in the signatures, but the signatures themselves.

                              sigs are good for feedback and for sale items... otherwise im fine without.
