Signature

Hi again. Per my message on simplewiki, I highly recommend not having an image in your signature at all as it makes pages more difficult to read, slows down the server unnecessarily and clutters the file links on talk pages, even if it's not a rule here. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 19:28, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Ferien: Hi, I fixed my simple.wikipedia signature, or to be exact, reset it to default, though I didn't know the same would happen here. Alabama (Talk) 19:34, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Whoops

Sorry, that was my bad for reverting your edit over at the croatian wikipedia. Fehufanga (talk) 21:50, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
