Blocking individual signatures

B.A.B.A.
in Site Suggestions & Feedback

So I know we have the option to block all signatures, but 99% of them don't bug me at all, and I don't really like hiding things in general. 

There are some signatures that are a special kind of annoying though (well one really that I can think of), and it would be nice if I could just get that off my screen. 

I don't want to outright foe, and block all of the posts.  Would there be a way to add a block signature option to the foe dropdown?  Or is that more trouble than it's worth?

    If you use firefox, there is an add-on you can get that allows you to block individual pictures. I use it myself, and it works great to hide specific avatars I don't want to see or if someone has pictures I don't want to see in their sig.



    The add-on is Adblock plus. Once installed, all you need to do is right click on the image. You get an option called "Adblock plus: Block image"



    Select the "Custom" option, and uncheck the box on the bottom and click ok. Now the picture is gone and out of your face!

    Nice, I use firefox at home and will set that up. Unfortuanly I can't do that at work.

    You can do it with Opera too, if there's any Opera users reading this. I'm not sure if it'll just leave big whitespace where the images would be usually, as I've never used it on this site. Just Right Click > Block Content, and enjoy!

    ^I try to save that for things that are truly out of line, not just what I personally find obnoxious.

    LOL! I knew that was it, too. I went and blocked it ASAP.

    Now I don't want to turn this into "who's signature is the most annoying" thread.

    Thanks for the tips so far on how to block individual signatures or avatars, as I didn't know about those and will implement at home. 

    At work however, I only have Internet Explorer.  I don't have the option of using another browser, or installing add-on's.

    Well, that and the fiery pot leaf, or potentially the guy slashing up women with a samurai sword.  I hate the fact that my avatar might offend someone, and I can see not wanting kids to see it, but I love it, I wouldn't feel the same without it.
