My Paladin has eerily similar stats to Malgayne, and by eerily similar, I mean we have the same Int, Mana and SP. We have the same professions as well.Actually, with mana and SP both derived from Int, I guess it's not that eerie considering we have the same non-healer weapon.
FWIW: The size of the signature you see was chosen as the initial size since that's what's used over at Allakhazam, and one of the primary goals is to make sure we can provide at least what they provide.That being said, we have a few smaller sizes planned, as well as a redesign of the overall appearance. We intend for you to be able to use these signatures outside of Wowhead as well, which is the main motivation behind the many styles that exist.For having them appear on Wowhead, we're undecided as to how to make this a good fit. Obviously, making the signatures appear on Wowhead for the Wowhead profiler makes sense from an integration standpoint. However, as many users have pointed out, Wowhead is typically devoid of image spam by design. We allow people to link to images, but so far we've had a policy of keeping them out of any non-blog post as much as possible. As I scroll through this forum list, I'm left wondering if maybe we should enforce a more Wowhead-esque theme to any signature that appears on our forum but allow the crazy customization for off-site linkage. Alternatively, we could simply allow just a thumbnail on the Wowhead forum view.In any case, this is exactly the kind of feedback we wanted to hear from you guys. Thanks for taking the time to review the signatures!

I would agree with a forced wowhead theme for the signatures. It makes things look uniform and keeps the image spam out of threads. For external sources more customization - it would also be nice to switch the Fonts around.
imo, it stinks. wowhead has been spared these kinda annoying sigs for a long time, dont bring em in now.
It's not a bad idea, but I think that preview looks a tad garish. If this does come through, please do provide an "off" feature -- and if the images themselves could be made to mesh better into the very well-designed look of Wowhead itself (dark, high contrast, and subtle), that would be a huge improvement. Bright blue and bright bold text burns the eyes :pI do think Frame's idea is by far the best. Much superior to the images themselves, please hire him xP
Pretty nice looking, even when it's the first version :)Although I would prefer a setting which would hide others' signature images from forum posts.They distract too much and "pop out" from the clean dark-ish wowhead look.. I could live without any signatures in the forums. The main idea is the posts, not the text/images under them.
I will have to join the "It clashes with the Wowhead look and feel" bandwagon. The awesome database brought me to Wowhead, and the streamlined, clutter free appearance allows me enjoy the forums without all the horrendous signature images typical of other WoW forums.I prefer the minimalist text based signatures. However, those too can become a blight when a user only says "me too" or "cool story" followed by signature line many times longer than their post.Please reconsider implementing this visual assault which resembles regurgitated Skittles, or at the very least, allow the forum user the ability to disable signatures.p.s. I had to check my default signature to ensure that I wasn't being hypocritical about the signature being longer than the post.
With this feedback in mind, we've disabled the display of the signatures in the Wowhead forums. You'll still be able to create signatures in the signature page, and you can still use them offsite if you like, but until we do some tweaking on the design they won't display here.
I like that a little better. Maybe I'll go run my sig over on my guild site =D
I love how everyone is complaining about how they "hate the feature" and then go on about how they hate the "design". Good to hear about the plans you have for this feature. It definitely sounds like its going in a good direction. Though more options for backgrounds might be nice. The one I really want is white and looks longer than your average forum signature.
