This is a reminder to everyone that the first rule in the Signature Requirements is that they be "no more than 10 lines of text or the equivalent if a picture is included." Many members are still well over that limit, so please edit your signature to fit with the limit if it currently does not.

In case a further reminder was needed, all non-conforming signatures will be edited to conform in the next couple of days. So unless you want it done for you- which will probably include random deletion of text - edit it yourself.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

Don't you guys have better things to do than edit signatures on a message forum? Most members have creative signatures, but are seldom any longer than Fred's 10-liner.

We do have better things to do, but the extreme length of signatures causes threads to be overly long, take up too much space (often the sign is longer than the post) and generally clutter the board.

Ryan, don't you have anything better to do than criticize what the Admins and Mods are doing? Really? They have their reasons, brother. The Puritan Board is not a democracy :P .

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Yeah, the Puritanboard is a dictatorship of the proletariat. Well, I cut out poor Martin Luther for brevity's sake even though I doubt it was that long before... and now my signature is less Reformed than it was before.
:P

Let God be God.
-Martin Luther

Actually, the Puritan Board is run by a plurality of Admins (Elders). :P

Okay which one of you characters changed my signature to read?

Dear Chris and Fred,

My apologies for this oversight. I have complied. Thank you for your forbearance, and the very helpful job that you guys and the other moderators perform on our behalf.

Blessings,
DTK

I think I complied as well. Sorrry!

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98)

I can't get mine to go to the bottom of the post.

"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."

Yours is fine. Regarding the space, I have no idea...I've actually wondered that myself at times, since different people's appear to be different lengths for some reason.

Randy,
I tweaked you; is that better?

Well, let's find out Scott.

I liked it tighter and the space is still there after Symington's quote.

I know......Whine, whine, whine.

It's something on your end......not our program. As you can see, after I tweaked it, it came out ok. When you posted, that gap is there again.

Figured it out. I had to put a space at the end of the Symington quote. And I did like it better the way you spaced it Scott.


Well, now it did it again. Go figure.

Can you tweak my signature, Scott? There's too much space at the bottom, thanks!
