Suggestion Box

Sigs are used only in forums, book entries and email. When we made "costumicons" and "skins" their own Account tabs, thereby adding them to the nav menu, I believe it was due to the amount those two things are used within Writing.Com: your costumicon is shown everywhere (and if you don't have one, it promotes supporting us with a Premium) and your skins/theme are used to format every page you view on WDC.

So, I think that before pulling that one "Account Options" sub item (or all of them) into the full navigation system, it makes some sense to look at building an "options" or "tools" pull down for the areas where sigs are used. Either directly above or below the textarea that you enter the post/entry/email. Perhaps making it look like an under tab under the bottom right corner.

In forums, posts already have a "set as default" for email on replies and favoriting a first time posted forum. Moving these with a "manage signatures" link to a menu in the area seems like something to consider. Also in forums, perhaps an "About Posting" that links to 101 for newbies. And from that, there may be other things we should have by these forms that we have not because of visual confusion and clutter issues.
