I see some folks added colorful symbols to their forum names. I also saw some posters compliment them.

Honestly, I find it quite visually distracting and makes it hard for me to see and read the subject titles.

How about limiting the extras to a modest show in your signature blocks? That would be helpful to me and others with visual issues and sensory overload.

I didn't factor that in when I put them there. Apologies. I was just trying to make things a bit more upbeat.

Yes. I understand the positive intentions. Unfortunately, some of us do have sensory issues.

WalkingbyFaith, I did not know, I apologize.

I have removed the majority of my symbols and limited it to one simple star.

Let me know if it's still too much.

Hope you're doing well.

Hi astro, good idea, I changed it to blue, which is the same color as our nicknames.
Hope that helps.
