Signature size/height rule now enforced

[Costello]

Since a lot of members were disrespecting the maximum signature height rule (150 px) we have enforced it automatically through CSS. We removed a lot of sigs over the years but it seems people still dont care for the rules.

As of now any signature over 150 pixels in size will be automatically cut off.

Can you make it so the signature expands when spoiler tags are clicked on?

sorry but no, if you need more than a 150 pixel tall space to contain your signature then you don't really get what a signature is supposed to be

The spoiler breaking is a bit of a shame, but completely reasonable. I think it's a nice change.

testing mine now...
its not only for the picture but also the text right?

 

[Joe88]

Seen alot of people breaking sig rules lately so its a welcomed change.

 

[Westwoodo]

This gives me a excuse to make a sig!

your signature width exceeds 500 pixels at the moment (784 pixels instead of 500)

I guess its good to keep people from having to scroll like that if they don't want to, but what I would have done would be to have sigs hidden by default and add a button to display them. (like the spoiler alert button) I don't imagine it would be too hard to implement.

Or browse on your phone (I can't see sigs unless I view the site in landscape mode).

The xenforo forums source is free, right? I think i'll take a look and see what i can do about a sig. button for pc. Mobile would be another thing all together though. The web browser just isn't good enough. a xenforo forums app would be nice.

nvm
fixed now

 

[Jayro]

Sounds good.

I had wondered why my signature seemed broken, sad that we can't have spoilers expand our signatures though...

 

[Halvorsen]

I haven't even seen sigs in months since I browse on mobile

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I dunno why people need one, all i know is someone offered to make me one and i accepted it. Everyone was doing it, i wanna be cool too. I don't wanna be left out of the circle.

Can someone remind me why this is a thing? Last time i remember someone saying something about bandwith, but i didn't fully understand that part or the reason for a signature. Should just be some hyperlinks or something to useful pages or your own website i would think is enough, not quoting people or whatever.

I'm fine with that. An image editor is very easy to use to crop to the proper size anyway.

i tried to find an editor for andoid (because i am mostly mobile now) the pain it is to find an editor with image size cropping and format..
editors on mobile are just for girls, even photosop.. only has rotate\crop and filters thing... with crop you can somewhat make a smaller image but they don't give you an idea for the size...

I'm so sorry, I just couldn't resist

It's in a spoiler tag for a reason.

heh, i actually think spoilers is a good idea, some people like to post consoles and hardware on signature (which in some cases is usefull, or cool)
the problem with huge signatures is making the website a lot taller and disrupt your thread reading
if you care about the pc specs or consoles people own, you just open the spoilers.
however people can use the "about you" for post their specs...

You got profiles for that.

Forum signatures are made to display helpful links to threads that can help others or display a small picture which uniquely identifies you.
