I've added a new option to signatures. At the top of the signatures you will notice a [Hide Sig] button. Click it and it will close that person's signature from view. When you want to see it again, click [Show Sig] that way, for the people who don't like seeing the larger signatures can just close it. You can test it out on your own signature or someone else's.

And it only effects your view of the signature, when you close a signature, other users can still see it unless they've closed it too.

It takes a couple of seconds for the [Hide Sig] to appear, so be patient.

Also, if you leave that page and then come back the signatures will return or if you go into a different topic.

BTW, I can also reverse the effect and have all the signatures auto-hidden and if you want to see one, you will have to click [Show Sig]

Cool. That might be useful.
