*** Public service msg for sigs with written-out computer specs!***

I have seen this a bunch of times lately, just wanted to point out that you can use myanandtech to setup your system then put a link in your sig instead of having lines and lines of computer equipment in each of your posts

Yes, but the brag-about-factor (AKA "My computer is faster, stronger, longer AND has more girth than yours" factor) decreases significantly!

That doesn't work for me...Put in my login info and says user not found??? Do you have to be a paying member?

 

[Yossarian]

This is true, but I've seen some crappy computers all spelled out

Hmm I didn't think so, could be wrong. If so (a) pay up, it's worth it, or (b) nevermind!

i used to have it that way. but i figure people are too lazy to even click on the link and since i have nothing else to advertise, that's why i have it in my sig.

Yes but you do it the considerate way and don't make me page down an extra three times when you post

I'm just glad that AT doesn't allow large graphics in the sig's.

On some sites there are so many graphics in the sig's w/system specs that it is nearly impossible to read the fourm.

One line of text sandwhiched between two, 4 inch high (on my screen) images touting the owners ability to buy hardware is difficult to read.
