Just wondering if there's been a patch to fix the way people were exploiting links in sigs.

I know I learned a lot (and am still doing so) by going through people's sigs and looking through their build pics. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.

Just mentioning it because it doesn't seem like enough people will put their site URL in their profile unlike when they could put it in the sig.

We had/have some security issues with this software that were allowing people to use links to do bad things. That was one strike against them.

We had people who insisted on using sig pics, and most of them weren't "family friendly" (or work friendly for many of us). That was strike 2 against html/links in sigs.

We had people who insisted on listing every single part on their car in their sigs (like is common on other boards) which just made threads cluttered and hard to read. That was basically strike 3.

Eliminating HTML/images from sigs fixed the first two. Shortening the sig length fixed the 3rd one.

That's how we got where we are. I might consider changing it back, but this is the first time that anyone has mentioned missing the info. I try to be reasonable and open to suggestions though.
