Who, what???

yeah, I always liked that idea, but then after seeing many other forums (in the coure of some google search or something like that) I've seen how long and repeticious they get. It gets annoying to me as I'm trying to scroll down past that stuff, trying to find the pertinent "match" google found somewhere on that page.
I end up scrolling too far...then have to go back up a bit....

It can get excessive to be repeated so often especially with someone like me that blathers on and on ...I record way too many minute details I've done to mine in my mod list...

That's a great point that I hadn't even thought about. Our site search doesn't look at the signature text when it searches but Google does, so if you ever want to search for something like the last 3 of your VIN and get all possible hits (remember user details in the upper right of our posts aren't searched by the site either) you're going to have a big problem if you're after 245, 255, 265, 275, or 285 (common tire sizes for the vast majority of members). That's just one of several edge cases that could cause a problem if everyone uses a signature.

But what's the likelihood everyone would create signatures anyway? About equal to the chance that you creating a signature hurts anything. So do whichever you feel best about!

The Member List search does allow for searching the member's profile and I'll look to about turning on sig line searches.

The problem with the regular search looking through sigs is, you get way too many hits... That's why G search works well too.
