Long signature? Our suggestion for how to optimize...

[RickS]

The forum software already defaults to a smaller font for account signatures, but maybe you have a lot to say or want to use a bigger font? If you do, every post you make lengthens the thread presentation and forces you and others to scroll more. This can get really annoying when viewing with a device with a smaller screen. So, here is a method to allow for more signature content while optimizing thread viewing using the spoiler feature:

In the editor bar, you will find the spoiler button as shown below...

Navigate to your Your Account and click Signature. Should like this...

Click at the beginning of you existing signature and press the Spoiler button, it will ask you to enter a title. I use My Signature. Then will insert the needed hypertext as shown below

and will place the text cursor between the brackets (underlined in blue above). Hit enter twice, cut your signature contents, click between the lines and paste. the result should look this...

Click Save and you are done!

And, if one prefers not to see any signatures taking up screen space, they can disabled by navigating to:

Settings -> Preferences -> Content Options -> Show people's signatures with their messages

Makes me wonder - probably have the longest signature. But it's all true .

Sorry, but yours is pretty tame compared to the one that inspired my OP.

Another alternative is to create your own list of kit and other links for your signature on https://linktr.ee/ like me

I would like a way to see the pages at the top of the thread without having to scroll to the bottom or turning it on its side to see page numbers. If someone knows how to do that please let me know.

Thanks

Here's mine, as an example. Combines an always visible signature component with a 'spoiler.'
