Yes, I can do it myself, but that option sometimes mysteriously unchecks itself (has happened on other forums as well). And again, since they're universally of negative value, why subject users to them?

Hmm...if they're "universally" of negative value, I wonder why so many people have them and so many others find value in the information contained in them...

@IBJoel - if you send out an e-mail from your personal mailbox, would that use the same mail server as the FT notification emails? If so, could we do a test that way and see if your e-mail to my mailbox arrives?

If you disagree and you're irritated by them, then switch them off. Don't impose your personal views on the entire community; you do not speak for every FTer.

They are not "universally of negative value". If I may be permitted to refer to my own signature as a readily-accessible example, there's a reason why those two links are in there.

FT is a different animal. An awful lot of the regular members of this site are accessing the site via mobile and in transit on airplanes. Having a site with a blinding color palette that is barely functional on mobile devices is not exactly catering to your target audience.

People may on occasion find something useful in one but on net they are spammy and the negatives far outweigh the positives. THere's nothing in anyone's signature that can't be found in a better spot. Like, when I need to find a BA 744 retirements tracker, I'm not going to start digging around in random posters' signatures until I luck upon it.
additionally, it seems a big push in this redesign is to make things more legible and easier to read. Signatures are 100% counter to that goal. they junk up the screen and add clutter.
