Now I use a lot of forums as some of you may know. I read a lot of posts on there where the user doesn't give us the basic system info. Now some forums ask the certain info is posted before they will consider answering a post, mainly AVG Forum. I think there should be a pinned topic on each forum called Please read before you post or something similar. Quite a few forum have a pinned topic on this subject.
The basic info needed normally is Operating System with Service Pack number. Web Browser(s), Product and version number on here.
This info is easily added to your signature mine is.
Trouble is some folk take up nearly half a page with their specs.
And some peculiar VB advert! (Put a jokey sign here.)
I was going to add that those who never get Piriform problems have no need to post their spec, but that was too much like tempting providence, whoever she is.
If it's text it doesn't really annoy me. What really annoys me is some forums allow members to post images in their signature that are just insanely huge and much larger than even 4 lines of text.
I saw a message board around 2000 where everyone had 800x800-sized .bmp sigs. It was atrocious. Their typical posts were usually " " or "lol". Talk about a waste of real estate and bandwidth.
