Rozovian Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Max sig pics height is 250 pixels, which is waaay more than the allowed text can occupy. Could the number of lines allowed in sigs be changed? Quote
Doulifée Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 This limit is more for pictures than text. Having a wall of text at the end of a post doesn't help the global visibility of a thread. Quote
Rozovian Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Having more sig pic than the rest of the post (name bar included) doesn't either. I'm asking because my sig is currently as long as it gets. Can't even have a line break before the pic atm. Quote
Doulifée Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 sure, but text sig doesn't really separate post like a picture do. I understand that you want a bit more flexibility for your sig and the various link you put there (like mine) but some people tend to put bazillion quote in there that makes reading a thread confusing talking from experience from a forum where only text was ok as sig, so a 17px high picture was a bannable offense but 10 line of quote from a random movie was ok. I'm pointing the extreme maybe but that's was my point in the porevious post. Quote
Rozovian Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Depends on the text, of course. As pics are allowed, we're not as likely to have a wall of text in a sig. By default, it's a smaller size anyway. Pics are moderated manually, probably by Darke whenever he sees an offender. Just make some sig rules - max total image height 250px, don't use text in your sig that looks like a forum post... or something like that. Besides, the lines are measured really weirdly. My sig is apparently one line break away from too much, and it's just two lines with the pic. So a little more flexibility would be nice, djp, anyone? Quote

SoloGamer Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I see that the links in your sig are all full sized urls. You can save some character space by using a url shortening service like Tinyurl or Bit.ly for your links. Also, using an image host that uses shorter file names, such as Imgur or TinyPic, should save you a couple character spaces Quote
