Yeah, I think that if it's possible on VB it should be a limit of 1,000 with only a few small pics allowed. (I only have one pic in my sig, a banner...)

THE GODFATHER, PART 2
The Thread
In my opinion, sigs are already way too lax... some topics look like slide show of sig. I'd really like the current rules about sigs to be enforced.
1 pic of very small size, and enough characters for a small poem, haiku style. No more. Make your point with limited means.
Louis,
One more reason to permanently hide the sigs.I'm glad that this is an option.
So... Tosa any chance of more charactors for sigs?

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

I don't think we want threads being taken up with long text signatures either. There are tight restrictions on the dimensions (not just the file size) of signature pictures; if you have a 20-line poem as your signature, it will take up much more room than a picture 150 pixels in height. I suppose there could be a line restriction on signatures, but that would work against the use of longer poems, no?
I currently have signatures on, as I have a fast connection, and I like to see them. But if they start to take up more vertical room than the posts themselves, then more people like myself will feel compelled to turn them off, which would be a shame.

Hello,
VB doesn't offer a line restriction as far as I know.
I think that the regulations about signature pictures are both clear and fair. Yet, we already see pictures not matching those rules, not by a small margin but 10's or even 100's k bigger.
Allowing 500+ chars in signatures will offer the ability to create sigs with both huge pictures and huge text. More people will be forced to turn off this extra dimension.
I'ld be willing to look into this if people gave some thoughts about other users.

Well, in v2 it was possible via various hacks, IIRC. Perhaps they didn't add the feature for the new version - can't check as the official site seems to be down at the moment. Not a great advertisement for their products!Originally Posted by TosaInu

Can my query about table tags help? IMHO if we had tables pics and text could coexist in adjacent coloumns saving vertical space.
