I wasn’t really going after sigs in particular...I was more concerned with things like:

(*fffffffssjjsshshshhhhhhhhtttttt*)

which show up as an even bigger mess:

{(|*fffffffssjjsshshshhhhhhhhtttttt*|)}

when you’re reading in plain text, especially when the majority of the post is “sound effects”.

As far as your sig is concerned, IMHO it’s a bit on the large side and mostly irrelevant. IMO, sigs should either be a small head shot of a sig fig or of a logo for your site/fleet/whatever. Also, be careful when signing with ‘~’ in FTX posts. If the tilde is the first character on the line it’ll be interpreted as a table cell, and the ~T will just disappear. You’ll need to put a ` before it to get it to show up:

~T

gives



(an empty cell)

~ T

gives

T

(a cell with a T in it), and finally

`~T

gives

~T

(the desired result) HTH,
