can this not be removed/changed?
this really ***** me off when i try making a signature, because it usually says 'you are only allowed 12 lines..ect' when i've only used like 8
doesn't anyone else find this irritating?
and the 1000 character limit including bb markup text code or w.e
it includes bb mark-up aswell.
this should be expanded, good point; +rep :)
ye its annoying. it shouldn't class bbcode as characters. ]:
i know i want to make a half decent sig with colours ect and it always says it ;l
I hate that stupid 12 line limit aswell, can't they make it something like 25 Lines?
or not have a limit, and SMODS remove peoples signatures who take advantage - i mean there are enough SMODS now... :rolleyes:Quote:

to here. Now that doesn't seem so large, but say someone had a 300 pixel height image. That's like what, about this large.

So like 15 lines in itself.
Put that together and you already have a lot of space taken up. Additionally, if people use quotes 3 lines becomes larger than that.
For people who say don't allow BB Code to be counted, we do have the limit for BBs higher. There is a limit for characters then a limit for characters with BB Code, that's not likely to be hit unless you have like alternating colors for every single letter or something.
So yeah :p
i think the line limit needs to be 20 but image size to be lowered.?
ok well the 12 line limit should be highered without pictures or somthing?Quote:

The first thing you said isn't possible :pQuote:

However raising the limit with code might be a fair option.
Create a new rule which says you cant have images over 'x' :]or you'll be infracted double the points. (Stops people doing it.!)
I hate the character limit and the lines thing, the piccy in my sig takes up so much room, and I can't really have that great of a signature.
exactly. and nvrnoob the lines limit has to be raised :(Quote:

These images are within the rules, so the infraction won't have effect. Anyway there would be a public outcry "Too strict!" "Old geezers!" "No fun!" "Stupid Forum!" :pQuote:

You get that anyway :rolleyes:Quote:

Would it not be possible to limit sigs to a certain actual size (as in, a certain amount of mm)? That way, no matter whether people have text or pictures, they won't be able to get too large.
So increasing the limit wouldnt matter if you get abuse... Happens anyway with Infractions ect.
I think increasing the limit for VIPS only so its 25, would be so much better in many ways..
- Another reason to buy VIP
- VIP's wouldnt "abuse" this rule as much.
Ect. ^_^
yeah but 3 lines would make a big difference.
No I don't think that's possible. I don't really think its even possible for the forum to think in terms of millimeters in any circumstances.Quote:

3 lines is an extra 25%, that's quite a bit.
Hmm then I dunno.Quote:

True but the same goes for now :p I dunno, maybe we'll add 3 more maybe we won't. Really I don't even get that much of a say in it I just enjoy voicing my opinion xDQuote:

most of the er 'rebels' get vip anywayQuote:

I don't know if you know where I'm coming from. So like erm; "x amount of lines in signature, say 12 or 15" discluding bb codes?
yeah that's been said. and i think he said they might higher that ;DQuote:

Yup but if they broke the rule (if new ones got set) then they'll get infracted and banned later on. :rolleyes:Quote:
