A Question About Signatures

As a graphic artist, I really enjoy displaying my graphics in my signature. However, this option seems to be pretty much disabled, apparently, along with putting anything into a signature more than 3 lines. I know what the admins are trying to prevent. However, I don't think it's really fair to be so restrictive of something for all members simply because of the possibility that a few might get obnoxious. And I think a simple restriction on the size of signature display could be substituted for the restriction on signature lines.

You should be able to upload any image up to 500 pixels wide by 150 pixels high for use in your signature. By way of comparison, 150 pixels should be a little over the height of your post above - anything larger than that, I would say, runs the risk of beginning to detract from the actual content. I suppose we could raise the 500 pixel width limit, but I'm not sure how much that would help people.

As for a restriction on the size of "signature display": assuming I've understood you correctly, that isn't possible on the software we're running.

I always wished we could use the font tag in signatures so I could make smaller font and advertise more of my pieces and stuff and use more lines and less space. I'm space-conservative, but not content-conservative. That's why I put some info in my sigpic. I HATE people having tall sigpics, but I'm fine with wide ones. :musicwhistle: Actually, I think mine's too tall, but I couldn't fit that much in with the width limit without adding height. Bah, I love making these little trinkets. XD

However, I don't think it's really fair to be so restrictive of something for all members simply because of the possibility that a few might get obnoxious.

Then you haven't met Sapphire. With him, it wasn't a question of might although I agree that three lines only is a little stingy.
