A few quick changes to signature rules-
With the increasing popularity of mobile devices large signatures are becoming bothersome to those browsing on default styles. While there are options such as using the mobile styles (no signatures) or the tablet style (also no signatures) not everyone knows or bothers to use these.
Effective immediately I have reduced the following 3 limits on signatures as follows- the old values were:
Max # Of Lines: 20
Max Font Size: 7
Max # of Images (including smilies): 5
The new values for Registered (Free) Users is:
Max Lines: 5
Max Font: 5
Max Images: 3
The new values for Premium Users is:
Max Lines: 10
Max Font: 6
Max Images: 4
The new values for Ultra-Premium Users is: (unchanged)
Max Lines: 20
Max Font: 7
Max Images: 5
Moderators & Staff use the Ultra-Premium values but if a signature appears disruptive I will ask them to shorten it.
Existing signatures will not be affected until you try to update them- at that point your new signature will need to comply with the existing limits.
Honestly I don't see this affecting 95% of the posters here but wanted everyone to know about the change.
Of course remember signature images are supposed to be "G" rated in terms of no sexual or even borderline work-safe images. Repeated violators will see their signatures hidden by default. Any large images (in resolution or file size) will be deleted without warning.
