Does this sig make me look fat?

[BSF]

Part of it is my steadily worsening eyesight, but I do have a hard time reading the blue in BrooklynKnight's sig. Most times, I have to avoid looking too closely and if I do want to read it, I have to mark it with a mouse to read it easier.

I've toned it down and reduced the size of the sig by a bit following suggestions i've gotten.

Hope its a bit better.

It doesn't bother me. Thanks for trying to follow some suggestions when you didn't have to.

Is my sig obnoxious? I worry about that. But then I worry about a lot of things.

Like that baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

If you think it's obnoxious (sig, not bag), let me know. Cause I don't (know, not think).

Actually, old bean, I'd say it makes you look positively obese. Were it adipose you'd be able to survive a two year famine.

(I'll go sit in the corner now.)

I've got to say, I see no problem with any of the sigs showing in this thread. Not a one. None of them look to be too big or too small, too flashy or to tame.

I can't see what everyone is complaining about.

Yessir, I can't see any problems at all.

Of course, I have sigs and avatars turned off, so I really DON'T see what all the fuss is about...

Man, you're spending way too much time with those airline hostesses.

"Too much time with" + "airline hostesses"

Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this logic?

 

[barsoomcore]

Okay, I took out the bold and shrank a couple of the longer lines. I think it looks better that way, anyhoo.

Heretic Apostate, what do YOU think?

 

[Heretic Apostate]

That is the most brilliant sig line that I've

I would have agreed with you up to a couple of days ago, when I read for myself how it's been affecting you. Since then, I've been torn between sorrow for your plight and the wish to be put through that kind of ordeal myself.

I didnt use all the suggestions, because my sig is that way for a reason but I feel its a modest middle ground.

Plus, when I have no chats scheduled the sig automatically becomes smaller as well.

Hope its a bit better.

The only problem I have with your sig is that it looks too much like an advertisement. Frankly, looking the way it does, I'm dreadfully glad I don't have to look at it more than once in any given thread.

A lot of sigs show off things the user is involved in, but don't jump out at you on the screen like yours does. No doubt you want it to jump out, to get the reader's attention, in order to to make them more likely to visit the chats you have painstakingly arranged.

However, it comes across, to me, as being somewhat tacky. A more appropriate sig would, to me, simply read:

"Upcoming chats with Eric Boyd and Phillip J Reed. For further details, click here."

In plain, uncolored text, where "here" is a link to a more detailed page.

The "after ENnies" and "mini trading" bits are ok as is, though.
