Your signature?

I was going for a more uniform look without too much clutter. btw, I just moved the phone icon to the signature.

Is that a redirect page? What's the point of that?

Renaming and titling a URL for posting on different websites.

Hum, that's a bad idea - it seems like some of the javascript is being stripped out (since it is hiding the actual address). Not to mention search engine benefits of directly linking to a webpage are null.

If the goal is to make the URL shorter, I can setup a subdomain that redirects to the actual location.

Very cool! You are missing some info on the Voyager though. Czecho just told me the Voyager uses Flash 7 or lower, and the Live TV service is MediaFLO. It's a great start though!! The icon option is a nice extra touch!

Yeh, some data may not be as complete as it can.

I'm still undecided if I like the icon where it is. It seems to cluttered when on the left under the username.

I haven't seen it listed under the user name. Maybe you can make the image smaller and then it won't take up so much room. Or maybe you can find a way to have it listed on the right side of the post. There is nothing on that side. I don't know anything about running a forum site; so I don't know what options you are given.

prob can't make the image any smaller without being able to tell what the phone is. The good thing is I can put it wherever I want

It's a good idea though! I'm sure other web forums will start doing this soon. When someone posts a question, you then get to see a photo of the phone they have. Because phone model numbers and names kind of blend in together after a while. If someone said they own the LG VX1000, a lot of people have not idea what that phone is. But if they see a picture then it all makes more sense.
