Exactly what it says on the tin.

Certain users, who I shall not name here (you know who you are), have ridiculously huge signatures. Two banners or more...

Advertising your hack, site or whatever project in your signature is fine. However, when you put a ton of graphics in there, and make your signature 10 times the size of your average post, something is wrong.

It looks obnoxious. The board's current layout doesn't help, but this doesn't mean you're not at fault.

It makes it impossible to read a thread quickly because you have to look for post content squished between huge signatures.


Enough of this madness.


From now on, your signature must not be more than 100 pixels in height.

Any signatures violating this rule will be removed. And of course, if you persist, we'll ban you.


Edit-

Ninjifox made a handy edit to the board's CSS. Now, if your signature is within a scrolling box, perhaps it is above the maximum size

Yeah, that's probably me. Give me some time, and I'll edit my signature. Is it okay if I have 3 small pictures?

Whatever you want, as long as you respect the 100 pixels rule.

How do we know the height of our sigs?

Take a screencap of your signature, paste it in MSPaint, and look at the statusbar while drawing a vertical rule over the signature.

Yours is 420px, which is over 4 times the maximum. Go fix it now.

Still too big.

Just do as I said. I'm not going to be measuring your sig a billion times.

The 100px limit only applies vertically. There's no set limit horizontally. Just, uh, keep it reasonable.

I'll see if I can make the logo a bit smaller, but I want it to be visible so I won't be making it tiny. I guess I can erase the "Join Newer Super Luigi Wii!" thing though...

User is online
Because Ninjifox added the scrolling, can it be more than 100 pixels?

If you don't want this to happen Mega Mario, when RVlution 2.0 comes, that's your chance to put that restriction.

The problem is that there's no way to restrict it the hard way. You can't have the board measure the signature and choose to reject it if it's too high, atleast not on server side, since the signature height depends on how the client's browser will render it.

The best you can do is something similar to what Ninjafox did. Putting the signature in a box with a max-width and overflow:hidden;. This way, if the signature is too high, it gets cut off.

Not to mention that if we end up using bitBoard or other Acmlmboard type software for RVLution 2.0, it will become impossible as signatures will be combined with post headers to make post layouts wrapping whole posts.

Instead of putting the image of my logos, I stuffed them together in one image and gave the LINK to it. Maybe you should try it John.
