I have a suggestion: For every <INSERT NUMBER HERE> posts, a user's signature limit goes up by <INSERT NUMBER HERE> pixels, with a maximum of <INSERT NUMBER HERE> pixels.

Interesting idea! But, I fear it will encourage spamming...  hmm

Even so, people can still post irrelevant, unnecessary, and generally useless posts to up their post count, whereas the "optimal" forum would have every post with a nice, clear purpose.  smile

Re: Forum Signatures automatically cut off

I have an idea.

Let's have the Helpful Scratcher rank avail-ible, which they can have larger signatures?

Re: Forum Signatures automatically cut off

Large signatures are a problem, especially with people with slow internet connections/people with mobile devices. In those cases, overlarge signatures are more annoyance than amusement, and can distract from the actual posts.
Perhaps there should be a an option to cut off signatures over [number] pixels, where frustrated Scratchers could specify a number of their choosing between 0 and 200.
If possible, I think there should also be an option to disable image-signatures and only show text signatures, a particularly useful option for mobile device users.

Just go to Profile > Display and uncheck "Show images in user signatures"  wink

Only admins and mods can make threads in this forum. Which makes sense if you think about it, since this forum is for announcements, and they're always the first to find out any news.

Re: Forum Signatures automatically cut off

In case anyone is curious about how they enabled this or how they can accomplish this via their own forum, simply edit the CSS and add "div.postsignature{max-height:50px;}" anywhere, replacing the 50 with the number of pixels you want to be allowed. This is the same as how these forums do it, so it cuts off images and text.

Re: Forum Signatures automatically cut off

The 400 characters/2 lines annoys me. I have to tinyurl all my links  just to make it fit the 400 char limit and i want the chess.com bit to start on a new line to the don't click bit but i cant because of the 2 line limit.

Yeah. I can handle the 150 pixel limit, the 400 character is ANNOYING.

Unfortunately, New Scratchers may not have signatures.
Once you become a Scratcher, however, you will be able to set one by clicking on Profile > Personality > entering text or links and pressing 'Submit'.

Re: Forum Signatures automatically cut off

I am personally shocked by the amount of people who did not set the size of their signature to 150 pixels when that was a clearly stated rule.

I made a UserScript that does that at a limit of 250 pixels (for posts):

Code:

var posts = document.getElementsByClassName("postmsg");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < posts.length; i++) {
  var post = posts[i];
  if (post.offsetHeight > 250) {
    post.style.height = "250px";
    post.style.wordWrap = "break-word";
    post.style.overflowY = "scroll";
  }
}

IKR! If I want to have different SMALL images, I have to tinyurl them so that it fits!
If we have a 150 pix. rule I don't think we really need the 400 char. rule  neutral

Re: Forum Signatures automatically cut off

Hey guys, I think that 120x500 is a good size, because there's still enough room at the bottom for one line of text. See my signature!


bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.
