Subject: Signature lines have been adjusted to a maximum height of 200px

Written By: ChuckyG on 04/08/18 at 9:08 am

Sorry for the lack of warning.

People should know better than to post a full page worth of images at the bottom of every post though.

This is why I had signatures turned off  :-X

Has the change taken effect though? I still see some large signatures.  ???

Also another reason I had signatures turned off is that some of them had  scantly clad women in sexual poses. That made the forum NSFW.  :-X

It cut off most my signature :(.

Oh well, I'll just edit it.

You should have given everyone a warning.

Some signatures were too large. It looked especially ridiculous when the post content was massively outsized by the signature. Like when a poster replies with "agreed" and then comes their signature that could have easily been 3-4 equivalent posts.

Good. Some people literally have 4 photos in their signatures. I only use the mobile version of this website so I really can't tell if my sig is too big. But I'm assuming the effects are automatic and changes the size for you, so hopefully it's fixed now.

It cut off T-Boz and Left Eye, so it's just Chilli now.

I agree. It was nearly impossible for me to find a good signature that fits the size limit. 200px is too little.

I just turn sigs off, much less clutter that way.

One thing I like about the mobile site is that avatars are turned off too, and all the post count/personal message/karma doesn't show up either. It's very minimalist!

I wish there was a way to turn it off on Desktop too, because a post can be really small, but the person's user stats and avatar can make the post take up a lot of empty space  ???

Sometimes images may be way too big to even scroll down, maybe smaller is better.

I totally agree... the big pictures in everyone's sig line should NOT overshadow/drown out the content of the posts. It is a pain.

I seem to recall there was some restriction on this many years ago (c. 2005 in fact) when people were putting really big pictures in sig lines.

It seems to have affected my settings as well. Sometimes the sig pictures will overlap the top of the post below, covering that part up. Maybe I'll pull up a screen shot to show what I'm talking about.

There are many sig lines that are still WAY too big. People still need to resize them.

I turned off the option to display sig lines after it became a thing to include a ton of photos.  If they have gone back to being sensible I might turn the option back on

While I agree that signatures shouldn't overshadow posts, 200px is pretty small. It almost defeats the purpose of being able to have a signature.

I... am not sure how to adjust it because I don't really know the commands for that. So I'll just delete my current signature until I find a picture that is 200px or under.

I want to thank all those who I have contacted for changing theirs. There are still a few out there and some changed it but it is still just a tad too big. And if there are others who haven't been around for a while, I have gone in and just deleted their pics.
