If you would rather not view the signatures under other users' posts we have added an option in your control panel to not view them.

You may want to use this option if you have a dial-up Internet connection, or find the banners distracting.

To stop viewing other peoples' sigs follow these steps:

click on Control Panel / Options (top-right of screen),

then click Edit Profile

scroll down to View signatures in threads? and select no

and then click the Edit Profile button at the bottom.
