• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Forums help.

I didnt know where else to put this but, once I figure it out you can delete this thread.

I was wondering why I can't see sigs, or avatars when logged in using Firefox. I fixed this problem on another message board but can't quite seem to figure it out. Is it a plugin problem?
 
Avatars make the forum looked cluttered with useless crap. There will never be any here.
 
no avatars no graphic sigs
and
http://hardforum.com/announcement.php?f=75&announcementid=21

(22) No active links, graphics, cussing or advertising allowed in the SIGNATURE.
Sig line is limited to 10 lines total (including line spaces) as viewed @ 800 x 600 resolution or no more that 15 words per line.


aside form the clutter, its just unessessary overhead
especially when the forums rampup for a hot and heavy discussions which can see as many as 50,000 a week
(forum total)

the clutter part is the main point though, and having to scroll that much further to get to where you need to be
 
Don't forget, there are members on dial-up out there. Having to pull all of that stuff down would increase their page load times pretty dramatically. Really, a title of a few bytes tells you about as much as a graphical avatar would.

Also, the clean look of this forum was one of the things that attracted me to it. I for one like not having goofy avatars, over the top smilies, and sigs that measure in the kilobytes. This is my humble opinion, but it's one that is shared (for the most part) by Kyle, so that's the way it is ;)
 
Viewing signatures is enabled in your user CP, so unless you just enabled that feature, the problem would be with your Firefox settings. As stated, Avatars will never be used on this board as long as Kyle owns it ;)

I dunno, even if Kyle doesn't own it y wouldn't be allowed :) . Any way, they are against the rules of the forum aren't they? I don't think anyone would be game to change those either, again there would be too much of an outcry.

I don't like avatars for the same reason everyone else here doesn't, they look stupid and add clutter to the website, which isn't needed here. The clean look adds to the appeal of these great forums.
