A simple test (Signatures Now Show Only Once)

Part the first.

Part the second.

Success. What was I testing? A modification to the system that blocks signatures from showing more than once per page in threads. It works, so this is what it means folks - your signature will only be displayed once per page. This is particularly useful with some of the larger sigs like, admittedly, mine.

Dude! Oh, nice usability hack. Does it slow anything down?

 

[Knight Otu]

For a moment I have read "once per thread", but this way, it should work great!

 

[Michael Morris]

Dude! Oh, nice usability hack. Does it slow anything down?

Nope. Strictly speaking it isn't a "hack" because it is accomplished by modifying the display templates - no code modification necessary. In fact, it should speed the server up a hair since the transfer of duplicate signatures is cut out.

 

[Piratecat]

Then bravo!

 

[Zappo]

Good! Now I no longer have to remember turning the sig off.

 

[Morrus]

Very nice.

 

[Arnwyn]

Excellent! I'll be turning the sigs back on for myself, now.
