Why can we only have 2 lines in our sig?

See [title v]
I know there's a restriction, but wouldn't 4 lines (the default) be better? For example, my sig uses only text, but due to wraparound, some "buttons" span 2 lines. With 4 lines, I can put different buttons on different lines (See my sig for examples).

+1. And this takes less than 2 minutes, not like my scratchblocks tesing thread suggestion.

Re: Why can we only have 2 lines in our sig?

I agree. This should be done. However, it should go in suggestions, not QaS.

It was in QaS because I asked why there were only 2 lines at first.

Re: Why can we only have 2 lines in our sig?

To work around this, just put like 15 spaces at the end of the line. One problem is that this puts it over the character limit.

I support.

No, yes, yes. (no, 15 spaces will put it over the limit, yes, it will put it over the limit, yes for supporting.)

Re: Why can we only have 2 lines in our sig?

The limit was created before the 150px limit on signatures; it was probably there to stop really tall signatures.

Though yeah if that's the case, it's an outdated restriction  hmm

Re: Why can we only have 2 lines in our sig?

I think you can do a lot in 2 sig lines.  My sig is only 2 lines.

I just wish the Scratch Team would eliminate ANIMATED signature pictures.


Animated sigs must be banned!

You can already have more than two lines in your signature as long you don't have have a banner in it. Without the banner, you can have up to four or five lines, so in a way, this already has been implemented.

Don't support.
A person only really needs two lines to quote someone and advertise a project or display a banner. Any more and you'll start having people with more detail in their sig than their actual post.



No offense meant to those with long signatures.  tongue
