Signatures

[Computer Hope Admin]

Some of the signatures have been getting quite large. So to help fix this throughout the forum I've adjusted the default classic forum template to re-size signatures to maximum height of 100px and anything more then that will be hidden.

If you feel this is too little or still too much. Please make your comment here.

Has this already been done? I'm seeing signatures that are still 150px+.

Like mine... it's 120px and still shows at that height. I'll redo the current signature myself to make sure it complies anyway.

[Computer Hope Admin]

Yes this has already been done. Although I'm looking for feedback from the community to see if it sticks or changes. Currently the max height is 100px (pixels). So you'd need to reduce the 120px height to 100px to comply with the current settings.

I think you did the right thing.  Some of the signatures are so distracting, you can scarcely tell the contents of the posts!  (The cheap shot of the day is, with some of the posts, that's a good thing!)

I'd even go so far as to say limit the signatures to text only, but that would be extremely unpopular.

I'm all for the size reduction.
I've just been AdBlocking the bad ones up til now...

[quaxo]

So if I understand you right, anything above 100px should be hidden? If so, why am I still seeing some that are more than 100px (like my own for example, which I still haven't had a chance to adjust).

It appears yours has been affected.



Notice the words are gone.

[kpac]

I can see all of quaxo's signature as normal - even the words.

I think it has only worked with some members...

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Try clearing your internet cache/temp files.

[Calum]

Thanks for this.
I'm actually for text-only signatures in some cases, I do Adblock the annoying ones though.
I used to use Firefox's built in way to block images, but then I ended up also preventing myself viewing some of the images those suers posted from the same site.

Yes anything above 100px will be hidden. However, this is only affected on the default template. So if you're using a different template (something other then the classic default) then this will not be changed. On all my systems when doing a refresh on the page initially to reload the CSS quaxo and kpac's signatures are cut off as would be expected.

Those of you using adblock should also be aware that other users signatures can also be hidden through your profile look and layout preferences.

[Calum]

I don't want to hide everyone's signatures, just some.
I like reading some signatures like yours, but I don't want to see everyone's image signatures, just some.
Blocking them individually works fine for me.

[kpac]

Try clearing your internet cache/temp files.

Did both of these, but still exactly the same. Dont know whats wrong....

Are you using the classic forum theme like Nathan said?

[kpac]

I'm using the forum or board defualt theme, which is obviously the classic theme.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Hmmm...strange....

[kpac]

Ì just changed my theme to the "Upcomming Classic Theme", but still no change.

I just started a topic on this: here

[Broni]

Man...I even didn't know, we had different skins....LOL
I just switched to Babylon Theme...
I like tree-like display:


Seriously, for how long those themes have been up?

[Computer Hope Admin]

That's really strange kpac  that you still wouldn't be seeing these new changes. Refreshing the page and clearing the cache should of definately made the Change. The only other thing I could think of that would be causing this would be that you have something that's fiddling with how CSS is handled on pages. Since this change was made through the CSS page.

If you look at: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/Themes/classic/style.css do you see the below code in the file?

Code: [Select]

/* Signature settings */
.signature
{
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 3px;
line-height: 1.3em;
max-height: 100px;
}

Anyone else having this issue?

Seriously, for how long those themes have been up?

All but the Dilber Multicolor have been up since the forums went live.

[quaxo]

I am. Even after clearing cache I still see all of my 120px signature.

I checked the CSS, and it appears as you've posted.

-=EDIT=-

Ok, now I'm seeing it correctly (100px). It didn't start cutting it off until I changed themes and changed back.

[kpac]

Hi again, i've been offline for a few days.

I tried style.css and i did see /* Signature Settings */.

I cannot figure it out.

Im not sure how big my signature is but it looks like more than 100px.

[quaxo]

Your signature looks like 60px on my end.

[kpac]

What parts can you see?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

What parts can you see?

I can see the small text in Quaxo's signature.

[quaxo]

Ahh, I see it now. Your text at the bottom is cut off. I was just looking at your image.

[kpac]

I can still see all of my signature.

BTW: I think I will leave it that way until this gets sorted so I know when it has been sorted.

[kpac]

My signature has now been updated. The "My Website" link isnt there anymore.

Im glad we got this sorted.

[street1 (RIP)]

Is mine okay?

[Computer Hope Admin]

Looks ok. Attached is what I see.

He is a lot nicer looking than his buddy.
