So, I'm just curious about some of the options people use on this forum. Might make for some interesting discussion too, who knows?

I'm going with the avatars for now, though I consider disabling them. Sigs are right out, though.

I'm thinking of turning avatars off, myself. I don't mind the rest, though.

You forgot the most important option of them all:

FORTY POSTS PER PAGE!

IT'S SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't a simple on/off thing, though, so I didn't know how to include it on the poll. Makes me weep. :(

Also.... does anybody know why this thread doesn't show up on the "New Posts" page? :confused: Or is it just me?

40 POSTS PER PAGE!!!
Yes/No is all we need to know, it's 40 or fail.

It's true. I have failed us all. (But NOT by not having 40 POSTS PER PAGE!!!!)

That is how I found it actually, so it's just you.

Needs more. The other vB site I post to lets me have 100. RPGnet had a 200 option.

Makes it much less cumbersome to follow large threads.

I like signatures... Avatars are hit or miss, but I like being able to scroll quickly through a thread and see mine, thus knowing where I left off.

Of course 40 posts per page.... if it would let me load the entire thread on one page I would. I also always have a way of posting the 39th post, so its the last one on the first page, thus guaranteeing nobody will see it.

I enjoy avatars since they give a little personality. Signatures tend to contain useful info most times. I pull a lot of peoples gamertags and Steam IDs from signatures.

I have everything enabled right now. No one has abused those rights so far that I've seen so until then everything stays on for me.

I actually really enjoy graphical signatures as long as they're done tastefully and not too big. Avatars are cool too as long as they aren't animated.

I hacked the system and have 4000 posts per page display.

50 posts per page at least seems pretty awesome, since it divides so evenly.

I have them all enabled along with 40 posts per page but I also use this (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3972) Greasemonkey script to auto load the next page when I'm near the bottom.

As long as there's no massive banners in people's signatures, I keep them enabled. I like that avatars are an option, too, and I really like the image-shrinking feature to keep big screenshots from breaking the layout.

Out of everything I like about the new place, the image-shrink is my favorite.

We allow pretty much everything except HTML. The only thing draconian is me.

Why isn't 40ppp the default now? It would save every single (right-minded) member from having to go change it...

And since I browse from work, I turn off avatars (more business-like) and images (surprise semi-NSFW safe)...

Avatars are annoying, and sigs are annoying.

Avatars are annoying, and sigs are annoying.I don't mind them at all. Animated avatars though...ugh. The sigs here are pretty reasonable...seems like it's mostly gaming-related contact info.

I've got the defaults set...but options scare me. So I mostly stay away. Mostly.

YOU'RE annoying. Who are you now?

I have everything enabled and 40PPP!!!111one Avatars help me follow discussions and look for posts by those I enjoy hearing from. I'm not sure why you would disable signatures as most folks have all sorts of handy information in them.

Except me.

Sigs pointlessly break up a conversation. Most of them out there just contain some stupid quote that might be entertaining to read once, but that's about it. While they may contain useful info like Gamertags, Steam names, etc., I do not need to see that info every time they make a post. If I wanted to see it, I could go to the profile and check.

Avatars are a useless distraction, and I always thought one of the best things about EA was that they weren't allowed.

Oh, and I'm the goddamn crazyD.

I max the posts per page and hide sigs. Thats about it.

Avatars are a usability benefit, so I wouldn't hide them.
