since this place isn't using the User namespace (except for talk), you might want to modify your sig to avoid the redirect.  Excellent explanation of patrolling recent changes.  I'll have to try that! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:26, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)

:Thanks. Glad you don;t mind that I customized it like that. Joey Day at HRWiki taught me how to customize it with a template, so that every time you tewak it, every single instance of it will be simultaneously changed to reflect that. Wikipedia figured out people were doing that and so in version 1.6 of MediaWiki it forces the adition of the Subst: parameter to all sigs that are templates, thereby making using them pointless (which is what they wanted to do to reduce server load).

I didn't realize you were using a template.  I just modified mine in my preferences.  I actually don't want my old sigs changing if I decide to change them going forward.  That seems too weird. :-)  I don't mind if that's the way you do it.  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:44, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)

:::I'm not using one. I figured I didn;t need one here since I'm pretty well satisfied with what I've got and I don't think I'll be changing it any time in the forseeable future. &mdash;[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">@</span>]] 12:49, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)

Thanks for the tips.  I actually did that so I'd have various sizes available to me on other websites, without having to learn their markup for re-sizing the display.  Too many wikis! :-) [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:33, 3 Mar 2006 (EST)
