It is a pity, I wonder if Brian would be able to enable internal links but not external ones.

The trouble with allowing links in signatures is that it attracts a load of people who want to spam their signature links all over the site. I know there are companies in India and nearby countries who offer this service commercially.

For the time being, it saves on the hassle by avoiding link in sigs.

It would help with presentation (for me, anyrate) if Robbo71 cut the length of his link - it has the effect of needing to scroll his posts, where this isn't required for any others.

lyngsat logo is a lot shorter.

Now I look at it there are multiple links there, not just one, but they could be both shortened in the same way.

What are you talking about exactly?

My images are very small.

I have just realized, you have the Show Images option DISABLED. You need to enable it or don't show sigs.
