Signature limits

Post by Leedeth »

This 100 character limit really sucks, it really does. Raise it to like 10,000 character limit.

There should be image size limits, not character limits. Like if your signature is 10,000 pixels in length, that would be stupid.

But then it's poor quality and hard to read.

A picture doesn't have to be hard to read.

The important parts to limiting signatures are:
- Total height limit (aside from image height limit)
- Image width limit (text will wrap anyway)
- Image height limit (smaller than total)
- Image bandwidth limit -- loading a thread with 10 different images totaling 20mb and not relevant to the discussion is not a fun way to participate in a text-based online forum.

I for one like that we have to keep our sigs small. I hate going on other forums and being able to see only one post at a time because the sigs are massive

That and it's even worse when every other sig is a blinking variety with offending colors. Takes me this close to having a seizure.

This forum is good with sigs. Keep it that way.
