    Can you please actually enforce sig limits. Some people's are way longer than their actual post.

      Well, if you're talking about the actual size, it would be pretty hard to make a limit on how big it is.

      If you're talking about limits, some people could have some really small little things, and alot of them, not alot to be too big, but just to be normal. If there was only a short limit, they couldn't have that. >_>

          There is a limit, and it's in the rules.

          From Rules said:

          12. Signatures may contain images, but may not be any larger than 300x100; 468x60 banners are also permitted (within reason). If your signature is larger than the allotted size given or deemed unacceptable by staff, you will be requested by a moderator to resize or change your image. Please also try and keep text signatures under 5 lines. Failing to comply with a moderator's request to fix your signature will result in the removal of your signature.


          I guess there should be more enforcement on this field. But, for now, everyone's fine.

            I agree with you ROF, I think that we should be enforcing that rule more than we currently are. In general it is not a big problem, but there are at least a handful of users that we should talk to about getting their signatures shortened. I'll bring this up in the moderators' forum and we will discuss it more there. Thanks for bringing this up.

              Just lower the character limit to around 350.

                  Definately. Anything over 250 pixels (including images and text) is simply too much IMO.

                    Is mine too big? If so, I will shorten it and sorry if I'm taking up hell loads of server room.

                      Yes, TheDogWho, please shorten your signature. Remove one or both of the images, or remove the quote.

                            TheDogWho and Ivan is my name, your signatures are fine for length now. I basically just don't want people's signatures extending down unnecessarily because it wastes valuable screen space.

                              I think you should PM people about sig lengths as it does kinda need re-inforcing.

                                General rule of thumb: if you make a one line post and your signature goes past the WARN info, or member no. then its too long. My sig is fine, as this post shows.

                                  ROF is right. I have encountered that same rule for myself.

                                    Sheba wants to know if this rule is already being re-inforced cause it's starting to get REALLY annoying (the sigs).

                                      I have a question then, if it's like an ok sized picture, how many lines of text can you put under it? For example, mine?

                                        If you have one line of text in your actual post, and your signature goes past where your warning meter is, then it's too long.
