Signature Format

[Angrboda]

I only ever understand about 20% of your posts Apo, I'm not sure if it's because I'm dumb, or whether you're off on wide tangents.

I wouldn't ever call you dumb, but neither would I be willing to say that the bulk are wide tangents.

(ETA: Minor proviso. For about the last 12-24 hours I've been displaying signs of imminent hypomania. [I took some 'phenazine and am in control])
(ETA2: If there's ever something of mine you don't understand, but feel it might be worth understanding, just ask me to explain it better or in more detail; more than happy to take the long way home as long as somebody's with me. And if you really are experiencing that much loss of information, whack me with something. I know I can be terribly obscure, aggressive, and insufferable; not sure that is going to change, but your feedback will certainly help me process and become better.)

Even better, from the same day:

For my reference, how many pixels high is the signature box? (the old clipped after 132 pixels) Also, any info as to whether it clips at width? (Another forum clips the right at 725 pixels.)

It should be the same height.

[Angrboda]

It should be the same height.

Any chance of increasing that?

[Tiberius]

Not really. It's already 150px.

People are welcome to put images in signatures, but a signature shouldn't be very high, otherwise it risks becoming longer than the post (and in some cases, it is).

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the problem.


(150? I thought it was 132. Choice! I've got 18 more pixels to work with.)

Just a thought, limit total combined image height. People are less inclined to abuse straight text.

A stray thought. Some people feel they should limit the amount of the presentation layer devoted to the persona on fora, so that they can have the discussions that matter. Other people feel that this segment of the presentation layer should have great flexibility and freedom. Also to enable them to have the discussions they want. One is oriented towards discussion, the other is oriented toward being social. FWIW.

Not sure I get what you mean. If a signature is 10px high, it will only show 10px. In other words, the signature box grows as the height of the actual signature grows. This cuts out at 150px high, at which point any signatures higher than 150px will have a scroll bar.
