Thanks!
The concern your banner raises for me is what if everyone did it? Imagine if every author decided to make a flashing, banner-sized ad and placed it in their signature in hopes of selling more books. Maybe they can say it would only be for a few days as well. I believe if that occurred, people would be flocking to the Options section to uncheck "Show Signatures."

Is it fair to tell them that some people are allowed to put up such a banner, but they can't?
While I don't want to rain on anyone's fun, I do believe in being consistent.

Update: After further consideration, never mind. If you want to have a flashing banner, go for it. It's just that you asked for a quick feedback, and that was my initial thought. As it turns out, it really doesn't matter one way or the other.

The thing with authors and signatures... is a long story
Put short:
I hope they never consider flashing banners for advertising *books*. I like the book covers, but flashing... too much. for me. I'll probably block the sig and never look at the books.
Which is also why I posted the feedback link in my signature - so I can avoid (too much) annoyance.

There are also 3 other factors as to why I did a flashing sig:

1. Further downscaling of the images makes the text too blurry to read properly and I didn't have the nerves to make it all over again. So it had to be animation.

2. I do not seek profit with it, it was just a fun invitation to a relatively small target group.

3. I tried to stay in the Lounge for the "banner time" so the "serious" people don't get the idea from me.

And finally: We have a wonderful moderator team here, so if things start getting out of control (or someone reports my or similar signatures) I'm sure the problem will be dealt with.

aren't you funny. I really do not know why I sent you a kiss. Never kissed a guy in my life, and I do not want to start now. So I take it back unless somebody steals it. Give you a or two

Welcome to MobileRead, Jedi.

You need 10 posts and 8 days, after that, the 'add signature' option will appear automatically in your users cp.

I would like to add that a signature without pictures would be appreciated more. Otherwise Adblock Plus will have to be engaged.
