Signature Issue

[PanzerJaeger]

Hey -

I didn't really want to start a thread on this as I believe it only pertains to my particular situation, but I couldn't find a signature thread in the last 4 pages to resurrect and I'm not sure if Tosa handles this stuff personally or farms it out to some one else.

I've noticed lately that people seem to have much larger sigs than in the past. I remember being quite pleased when I found a picture that I liked that was big enough to see but was under the then given limit via google image search, as I was too computer illiterate to just resize one.

Anyway, while my current sig has been good to me, I thought I might try something else. Apparently though, I’m not allowed to have a signature (or change my Custom User Title), even though I believe my current one is viewable to everyone.

I was wondering if there is a problem with my account or if this is a lingering result of past disciplinary issues. And if the latter, if it was meant to be permanent or not. I believe all my warnings from those times have been inactive for quite some time.

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to change it, I can see your sig.

Sorry, you are not permitted to have a signature.

And I also can't change that thing that says "member" under my name. I thought I was an idiot for the longest time for not being able to find where to do it, but then when I was told it turned out I don't even have the option.

It is possible that my account has some unusual restrictions, but no one ever told me.

Yes actually, just one. I remember not being able to change things when I had no active warnings though, so I don't think thats it.

Hello PanzerJaeger,

Not that I know; I'll check your account.

Edit: does this reset help?

Btw: signature limits didn't change. It's quite possible that people use larger ones, but that isn't supposed to be done.

Hi Tosa,

Yes, now I can change both of them. Thanks!

Is it still 11mb?

Pictures
Pictures in signatures are not the occasional used pictures to illustrate something, but show up in every topic. It's already possible that one page contains 25 different 4.5 kb avatars. Users with slow modems will experience serious trouble when loading pages with many (larger) graphics.
Pictures are limited:
-10,240 bytes max.
-no sound.
-max 500 pixels wide, max 150 pixels high. This applies to all images together in the signature.

This doesn't apply to occasionaly used pictures in posts, though one should keep in mind that 56k modem users should be able to download it within a reasonable time.
Scrolling topics containing high signatures is considered difficult, so they are limited there too. A signature can be 10 lines high, 500 characters long, 200 pixels high or what limit is reached first.

Should have figured that one out...
