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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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