Signature size can be too big

Post by Disaster16439 »

Today, I switched my signature to use LV tags, and didn’t put in [[ THUMBNAIL ]]. This caused the signature to be very big, cluttering the page. Likewise, using bold and changing the size of the text, and typing in a lot of characters, can be problematic.

I’m not sure of the forum software allows for this, but it could give a warning or scale down the signature. Another possibility would to be to ban LV signatures (even with thumbnail, it’s a bit cluttered). I still think bold and textsize should be allowed for emphasis.

Code: Select all

x=0,y=0,rule=B34q/S23-k

It doesn't (as far as I know).

In practice this isn't really much of a problem. If someone puts in a silly signature and it causes difficulties, a moderator blanks it out.
