Doesn’t bother me one way or the other, but in case it affects something else:

We have an ad blocker and when I sign in to The Dope, everybody’s sig line disappears. Just lurking, sig lines are there.

That’s all.

Sounds like a 459, I’ll notify Sgt. Friday.

UPDATE:

Same thing with the Smartphone, except phone does not have ad blocker.

A 459? **Morgenstern** , are you hung over again? Get back on your beat.

459? Sounds like a call for Adam-12.

“One Adam-12, one Adam-12, possible 459, suspects there now.”

Showing signatures is one of the thread options. I’ve always have that clicked off. If you have it off, then you don’t see them logged in but will when lurking (I think).

Adam-12? Too slow ---------

When you find yourself in danger,  
When you’re threatened by a stranger,  
When it looks like you will take a lickin’,  
There is someone waiting,  
Who will hurry up and rescue you,  
just Call for Super Chicken!

I have all of the Super Chicken cartoons on the George of the Jungle DVD collection, including the unaired pilot cartoon.

Fred: Super Chicken, what happened to your super-vision?

SC: If I had any supervision, Fred, would I be in a flying chicken coop with a lion?

But if you are in the car driving (and texting to the SDMB - Shame on you!), TV isn’t available.

Turn on the radio, to [Chickenman](https://oldradioprograms.us/My%20Old%20Radio%20Shows/C/Chicken%20Man/chickenman_open.mp3)! (MP3 warning)

[All episodes here](https://oldradioprograms.us/Chicken%20Man.htm).

Still to slow!

\*There is nothin’ I can’t do.  
And when danger calls just  
know that I am on my way.  
(know that I am on my way.)  
It doesn’t matter where or when there’s trouble  
if you just call my name:  
Kim Possible.

Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me.  
When you want to page me, it’s okay.  
Whenever you need me, baby,  
Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me. \*
