User Signature + Avatar = Does this tell me about you? - Off-topic

Now being a member of the XDA forum for several Months and reading thousands of threads, I have seen a wide variety of signatures and avatars.
I look at mine as my alter identity as a Pocket PC Geek (as my wife would call it). My signature just has the basic ppc status and the apps I use. My current avatar would reflect that as well. I’ve come across some signatures that are a half page long and say nothing and some with a few words that tell it all and a whole lot of interesting avatars.
So how much do they reflect who you are? Tell us your story…

my avatar - HAL - is the king of all computers of course...
and signature...aeeehm....yes, i'm addicted to Guinness also...

Something to keep in mind about signatures, is that they can be searched on. So, if someone puts Tom Tom in their sig, a search for "Tom Tom" will turn up every post that person made, and not just posts related to TT.
In other words, it can dilute the power of the forum search tool.
Try searching for "U.S.A. - AT&T Wireless" (without the quotes) and you'll see what I mean. That's in mchapman007's sig.

​Brian, a little friendly advice here...
You have seriously become what is known as a "Serial Threader". Follow the links in my Signature, read them and understand them. Then come back and be a good forum citizen.
First, you need to post in the proper subforum. Questions about flashing DO NOT belong in the General subforum, they belong in the upgrading subforum.
Next, you need to post your questions in the correct threads (i.e. for the Rom you are using or in a thread that asks the same thing).
Then only time you should create a NEW thread is when there are no existing threads where your question fits. None of your threads fits this requirement.
Finally, be patient. Nobody at XDA-Devs is paid for their time, yes even the Moderation Team is entirely volunteer.
Take to heart the fact that XDA-Devs is just as much about the journey as it is the destination. If you don't care for the how but only want the bling then this is not the right place for you.
Thanks,​

The red squiggles show where I think a clue could be placed to show there are more items in the list. It could be an arrow key or any standard method of indicating there are moe things out of view. The red and green arrows are just possible alternatives. The programs touch flo screen could do with the same as it is not OBVIUOS there are more items to be seen.
A nice silver triangle button that fades when there are no more items would be cool.
Some may ask why I suggest this interface usability tweak (in any format). Good question.

Hmmmm......after using TF3D or even READING THE MANUAL it is obvious that there are more items to display.....
Don´t need an arrow in e.g. the contacts application to remind me that there is more than just one page.......but then again, that´s just me.......
BTW: I´ve long turned off TF3D for a less funky but faster and more usable interface.....
But
RTFM and learning are not available to the people who are not 'lovers' of the technology.
They pick it up, look at it, and don't enquire..
Many business users are almost or over, half a century old.
They wouldn't see the value of XDA Developers, etc.

If anyone, for any reason, does not read the manual of the device, they don't deserve to use its full potential.

Well, after looking for an not finding what I wanted...I just decided to build it.
#1 - place to compare ROMs and Kitchens..with filter and sorting.
#2 - place to keep track of my own personal ROIM experiences
#3 - place to keep track of cabs I load (how many cabs do you have on your storage card you have no idea what it is)
So I built up this Sharepoint site and gave a bunch of Cookers rights to post their stuff.
I would LOVE it if I could get some Coders to post their stuff too. It's really pretty easy. And since it's not really an interactive sight...you only have to do it once...you don't have to monitor it continuously.
So, now I'm going to the public.
Here are some screenshots of the basic idea

Here are some of the cool stuff you can do with lists:
filter By Carrier
Filter By system
here's where users can track their experiences with different ROMs and Kitchens
Here they can track stuff on different Programs and Cab and such.
So....after all that...
The site is located at : http://sp.textultant.com/Mobility
The URL will redirect you there : http://TheMobilityExperts.com
Please understand that adding users is not automatic and somewhat cumbersome....I will try to process requests as soon as I can...but I just want to set expectations...It may by 24 hours or more in some cases. since I'm the only Admin right now.
Hope you like it...There's a survey out there on the site to let me know what you think.
EVERYONE can View...
there are instructions on the site for how to Join and Use

Any way you know how to clear the notifications? I don't have any new ones, but this just won't disappear. Constantly says 10.
I may have not posted, but I've watched this forum get more and more bloated and harder and harder to navigate over the last maybe 4 years. It's almost terrible trash now. Every page has an ad you must clear at the bottom, search is and has been borked for a couple years, just better to search the forums using Google, no longer is the forums laid out in a tree, it's just here you go find your own way around.
Anyways, thanks man.
