We’re working to implement an online forum where I work to try to connect with students in another way (help the introverts find compatible roomies). Somehow, because I said that I loved the idea, I got put in charge of it.
So far, the only problem I’ve had is that when I pulled up this board just to show some coworkers what a thread and a profile were (so that they stopped looking at like I was speaking another language), the user’s profile that I randomly pulled had a signature that was more than a lil on the “raunchy” side. I have a new nickname at work now… :smack:
The sigs aren’t the only possible concern with surfing at work - have you taken a gander at the BBQ Pit list of threads? “Fuck” is prominently featured in 3/4s of them, usually. There are those who might suggest that you shouldn’t surf the Dope at work - fuck 'em, I say! It’s an adult site; we use adult language.
Wow…I’m sitting here reading this and thinking “There’s sigs on this board…?” I’ve never seen any. And then a light clicks and I go to my preferences. Lo and behold, there’s a section for ‘show sigs’. I now see sigs! Thanks for lighting my way!
I only recently found out on a thread that you can turn signatures off - although I don’t know why. I often find signatures funny, witty, informative and interesting.
