I also agree.

Yet it's annoying you have to maybe scroll but we do have the ability to disable signatures and or members themselves. If it was blatant advertising and or linkage to inappropiate offensive material, then it'd be necessary to possibly first contact the member to ask that they change it. If no responses, then Jeremy usually takes care of it himself.

Well there is word wrapping but when it's a continuous string like his, things just get bent out of shape.

I agree. Word wrapping would be very nice. Nonmembers who go to that page to read through reviews won't have the option to turn off signatures, and will probably get annoyed as I did from the constant scrolling you have to do just to read the reviews. Can't someone just add some breaks into the line?

Also, you'd have to be careful not to have word wrapping within the code blocks on the site... Newlines inserted by the forums would defeat a big portion of the code blocks.

We can update the reviews section to wordwrap the sigs, like the forums do. The alternative would be to not show sigs in the HCL and reviews section, and only show them in the forums. Thoughts?

I personally think that signatures can (in some cases) be useful. Especially for those who include their system specs, in the HCL section... it can tell us about hardware compatibility as well as software. Wordwrapping makes more sense to me.

Get a 2-wheel mouse (trackball). I used to have one & it was really convenient.
Unfortunately it was stolen & besides it only came w/ Winders drivers,
& on top of that it was built for the right hand.

I have to agree about the <-> scroll problem.
One partial solution to the general problem is Opera 8 -- it has a "Fit to window width",
which doesn't work here, but does help w/ Code blocks.
