At the end of October, I posted one and the same pool “
Do you visit the links in the forum members' signature?” to 5 different forums.
Although, the pools will close at the beginning of February, I thought you might be interested in the results collected so far.
Hence, I publish the 5 URLs to the 5 different web sites that host forums with this pool.
For your convenience, the results collected so far shows that most people visit the signatures quite often 45%. Another 23% use the forum signatures only when the post is useful and there are about 19% doing that only once or twice the first time when they read something from the signature owner. The rest 13% rarely visit any signature link.
Most votes received at SitePoint forums
