Do people really read sigs?

Yeah, but then hardly anyone would click it. I also need to tidy up my sig at the moment. The red HeNe is on halt until further notice, as is the 40W 808nm (have a bunch of drivers to work on and a phaser to make! Heh).

Generally people only list the lasers they currently have. That alone would make it much cleaner. I list wavelength, form faactor, and output power for mine.

I do read sigs if there is something constructive in there to read. The ones just bragging about all your
stuff though don't really get my attention. Especially if there are no links to build threads or anything. It's
kind of pointless.

I supposed a compromise to that could work... a google doc as a link to the full list, but highlights included in the sig. What do you guys think?

@thelightningstalker I am planning to do reviews on a bunch of these lasers... once I find the time to :p

Put wavelengths you have owned in your sig if you want to, but only put currently owned lasers otherwise.

M favorite sigs are
•if you have a million 532s "I" would throw out the DX / feebay/ "insert garbage" / etc...
•color coded correctly
•Font size 1 *(so much cleaner looking)
•MANUFACTURE ONLY no need for exact model just the co. power and nm
•I LOVE it when all of the above is met, and ea one has a link to review of it :) :)

I tossed mine. since all my lasers are pen craps, but I love the little pen craps. you can bang em around and have fun. I really only have two that are worthy of review.. Its all you though, FREEDOM whoohoo!

I HIGHLY recommend using the wavelength/hex code tool to code the colors of wavelengths in your signature. This will insure an accurate color scheme.

to use:
1. Search "wavelength hex rohanhill" on google.
2. Enter wavelength you want to color.
3. Highlight the text you want colored in the signature editor page.
4. Apply a font color from the LPF toolbar.
5. Erase the color name and replace with the hex code given from the previously mentioned site.
6. ????
7. Profit!

Thanks WBS, changed up mine. I think the difference between 638 and 660 is not noticable enough, in person with the lasers, there is quite a noticable difference

Side by side my 635nm looks slightly different than my 650nm in my signature, but I agree, 635nm looks pretty orange in person when side by side with a 650nm. More pronounced than what is showing up on our sigs

Step six is always the most challenging :thinking:

i used to display the host, wavelength and power in my sig of all the lasers i have, but i ran out of characters allowed for a sig lol ive got around 50 handhelds in my collection lololo

now i just state wavelength and the combined power in that wavelength.

I disabled signatures a few years ago because every page looking like a gay pride parade got irritating.
