Signatures and you, some changes

There have been some changes to signatures.

They're now set in the admin panel to be no longer than 6 lines in length, tho that may not prevent lines with large text.

The rule is signatures should be no taller than 6 lines of text, that includes empty space or space taken up by larger fonts. Also, fonts cannot be larger than size+2.

The quote tag has now been disabled, to prevent tags from taking up a ton of space in signatures, and from distracting from threads. It's obnoxious to scroll through a thread to see tons of quote blocks over and over again.

If you have quote tags ([QUOTE]) in your signature, please remove them promptly.

Your signature should be no longer than the example below: (as a reference, my signature is 4 lines tall, at normal font size)

This is line 1 of text at normal size
This is line 2 of text at normal size
This is line 3 of text at normal size
This is line 4 of text at normal size
This is line 5 of text at normal size
This is line 6 of text at normal size

Those forums are literally the worst thing ever.

Sucks that we can't use quotes but I can see why. Katie you could still have the quote in there, just not in a quote box.

Yes, we don't like the kind of people who put pictures in their sigs. They are up there with people who enjoy lolicon and furries.

Do you mean "size=2" or "size=4" (2+2) (since "size=2" is normal)?

He probably means no larger than 6 lines of the normal size... I guess it could mean no larger than the size 4 as well so we don't get sigs like

I thought when a sentence ended under the first one it counted as another line, sorry.

Guess it's different depending on if you're using the fixed or liquid version of the forum.

Yup—I am right up against the 1,000 character limit, and could hardly fit in another line. In the liquid skin on the 1600 × 1200 pixel display I use, it takes up about half the width of the window.
