argonaut Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Do you think that showing your equipment list in your signature will help people?Do you get PM's from people asking you about how something performs,having read it in your signature?Glen.

GazOC Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 "Yes" to both questions, I just havn't got around to re-doing it since the forum upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It's useful as often members post questions about an accessory but forget to say what scope they will be using it with - which often will make quite a difference to the response.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imahumanbeing Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I completely agree and have found it very useful finding people who have the same equipment as me and asking them questions. I will do mine at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlebo Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 That reminds me I must update my signature and yes to both questionsVlebo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonaut Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 That was the response I was expecting,thanks.I suppose I'd better get around to mine some time.Glen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychobilly Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ironically I just got rid of my list as I was having issues editing it... it looks like the imported list was longer the maximum allowed but still displayed , as soon as i went to change it it wouldn't allow me to update it unless i reduced the size to within the limits?... but yes in general it hopefully lets someone who's asked a gear specific question to gauge if you know what your talking about when you reply...Billy...

lulu57 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah, well, these equipment signatures never include the truly interesting stuff, like:the kind of thermal underwear you were wearing at the timewhat sort of astronomer's hat you had onwhether your brand of mascara showed eyelash silhouettes in the eye piece.As to the minor stuff (like scope and eyepieces)...isn't a lucky guess more fun?(BTW Psychobilly...your avatar is still scaring the doodars out of me...)

Psychobilly Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah, well, these equipment (BTW Psychobilly...your avatar is still scaring the doodars out of me...)Likewise ... only kidding Lulu .... its the friendliest of a horrid bunch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I haven't got around to reoing my list yet but will do soon, and yes, it is useful I think, especially for imagers, as we then don't have to list the gear we use every time we post an image.A thing to bear in mind though....if you list your gear, it's perhaps best not to put where you live, as there are scumbags around who might want to pay you a visit and nick the stuff.I'm the only Hodgkinson in the phone book in my area, so it's not hard to find where my gear is.Billy....that avatar scares me too!!!CheersRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
