some people have sigs that are just massive, and take up a whole page! I ust wanted to say this, so that maybe the admins can limit sig size, like on most other websites.


just my 2 cents.

That's because the pokemon universe is dominated by communists.

Theres a signature limit size, and if its over that then it will be deleted, report signatures that are to long, but some people just have alot of banners in theres.
I do not have enough time for PC anymore, it is a sorry affair but I haven't been active in a long time. I do not have many friends still here at PC but if you are one that is still please feel free to contact me via msn.

How can some of the admins/mods limit sig sizes when their own signatures are massive? =)

now it's time to wrap our
fears in the night
and on the first day
i'll dress this city in flames
after all the things you say
you hate me for being this way

I've seen sigs that scroll over more than two pages, yet remain within the limits, so saying "It'll be dealt with if it's over the limit" doesn't work.

*poke* How about an automatic limiter, like mForums has? I set the signature box to 500x250 - if the signature goes beyond that, it'll have scroll bars forced around it.

Funny that you'd say that, 'cause yours takes up 98% of a page. =\
Yeah, there should be the same rules for staff and members.

I think it's more like 75%, but... ooookay... <<; My signature is within the limit. *points to rules link* http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=30592

And we do have the same rules for members and staff. =/

This is like the second time you have said that. So I really want to know, who are you talking about.



If you see the sig as really big then just PM a higher Staff member about it and we'll take care of it if needed (I say if needed because like for Ty Miyu's sig takes up 98% of his page. But for me, it's not even half).

On this computer, the resolution is 800x600, and quite a lot of people still use that these days, but I use 1280x960 on my computer. (I'm on my mum's now, in case you don't know about what happened to mine.)
I think it's more like 75%, but... ooookay... <<; My signature is within the limit. *points to rules link*
This is exactly my point, and I thank you for proving it - signatures can be, quite frankly, huge, and not exceed the limit. I saw a signature that took up two pages on my aforementioned 1280x960 screen and still remained within the limit (although that sig has been shortened since).

And I repeat, what about an automatic limiter, similar to what mForums has? I'll use DG's signature as an example:



As you can probably see, I put the signature in a table, and added "max-height: 250px" to the style tag. Meaning, if something in the sig attempts to stretch the table beyond 500x250, then it'll be wrapped with scrollbars.

I really do wish we had something like that. That way the members can clearly see their sig is over the limit. We could set the whole sig (images text and everything) to a 500x300 limit. And if the sig is way over the limit then we edit it, no need to add up each image to see what they come out to and so on. Just look at the sig and see it's breaking the sig limit.

Yesh, because they're special. >O *shot*

Teehee, I kid. But I'm pretty sure what Amy meant is similar to what I did (how they're huge, but still within the limits).

Oh, and if you want to force people to keep their signature within 500x300, so that anything above that will be cut off, just change the overflow="auto" to overflow="none". ^_^;

I just think sometimes people think forum signatures need to tell their life story of something... but maybe im wrong, lol
No no, people just majorly misunderstand the concept of a signature, and since everybody has large sigs, it's a bit hard to just slam down strict (yet reasonable) rules. o.O;

I just think that at least 40% of the freaking signatures br3ak t3h fr3aking rules... >.>;

There is a fr3aking rule th4t fr3aking says that if j00 hav3 an imag3 in your signature you sh0uldn't h4v3 m0r3 thaN 10 lines of siz3 2 t3xt, right? (by the way, wasn't it 7 lines once? o.o) Well I've s33n pl3nty of signatur3s that br3ak this r00le, while I onc3 use to have a slightly oversized image and had almost no text in my signature and got rigorously edited... >.>;

That is h0w it is... I guess s0m3 p3opl3 are m0re speciaL th4n oth3rs around here.... >.>;

I remember something SA said about sigs once. "Sigs should be short and sweet. Not telling everything about you" or something like that. XD

Now days Everyone has 10 banners stacked on top of each other, and 20 Sprites go go along with that.

Ok Ty I'll try your sig thing on one of the test layouts.
