Signatures

[Veho Nex]

I wonder, is there a way to make it so that if the sig gets beyond a certain size it automatically hides it in spoilers?

1200 is fine for my screen

[Greyblades]

Its going off the side on mine, and it's a 1440x900.

[TosaInu]

That might be right Greyblades. I guess there's some 75 pixels on both the right and the left of the board form. Then there's some 180 used for the left part where the avatars and usernames are. A 1440 screen probably can't display a 1200 pixel picture in a post.

as little as possible

[pevergreen]

I'd say 800 wide then. Plently of people still use 1280x1024. Or 1024x768.

Though with almost double the size, the increase in the limit needs to be even higher.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Width of 700 fits, just barely. 650 would be easier.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Well, the easiest thing to do is scrollbars using the CSS overflow property and setting maximum limits on signature size. (Would use a number of ems on the vertical axis, and percent width on the horizontal one.) Alternatively, if Tosa can add scripts a bit of javascript to check size limits and automatically inject the show/hide code into the page could work even better.

800 fits nicely

What resolution are you guys using.

All of them fit fine on mine, and I would presume nearly all on any normal monitor.

[Subotan]

Mine's 1680x1050

[Vuk]

I have tried it on my 2 laptops, my tower, and three computers at school, and on all of them 800 was the max that did not overflow.

[Ludens]

What resolution are you guys using.

"Widescreen" laptop with 1366 * 768.

[XSamatan]

800 is good!

[Cute Wolf]

in my office comp (ok, ok, I surf the net at work, I admit it ) 2048 x 1536....

but my personal laptop is a bit smaller... 1280 x 768 widescreen...

[TosaInu]

That's huge Cute Wolf. So 1800 during your office hours?

I'm guessing overflow, spoilers and resizers would have drawbacks too: it would make it less attractive for people who can't see it.

[TosaInu]

I think we can narrow the list of options down a bit now, since most/everyone likes it larger I've deleted the 500. 1200 and 1000 seem an option for a few, so we skip those too. 650 was the lowest, so we make that a candidate too for the new max choice.

I heard some people about 700 just fitting, I'm guessing that's because of a screen resolution smaller than 1024?

[NIKOMAHOS]

800 is good!

I agree with you my friend.

What is the default length right now?

[TosaInu]

It's max 500 pixels wide now.

[Raz]

800 flows off my screen and causes horizontal scrolling.
700 oozes over the edge of the post frame but doesn't cause scrolling.
650 fits snugly into the post.
I'd prefer 650 or less, but 700 i don't mind much. 800 is too much; if anyone puts an 800 pixel image in their sig I will adblock it and you won't be getting any views from me.

And yes, I have a 1024x768 15" 4:3 monitor, it's a dinosaur! But does that invalidate my opinion?

Edit: bear in mind that some people view this site from their microscopic notebooks as well (especially when they should be studying/doing something productive....). <_<

[a completely inoffensive name]

My screen resolution is 1600x900 and 800 is great for me. However, if it doesn't work with many people then 700 is ok as well. In fact, any increase from the default 500 is great imo.

[Subotan]

800 is perfectly fine

[Cute Wolf]

what you expect from someone working at laboratory?

all the high tech stuff should be used for some reasons.... :D

[Vuk]

800 is perfect for me.

[TosaInu]

Reminds me of the machine that says 'ping!'.

Big monitors like that are used for some bio-molecular research?

[Megas Methuselah]

Are you guys hatin' on my sig?

[TosaInu]

Hatin on your sig? What do you mean Megas?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I prefer 700.
