Signatures have returned! (Update: Character limit increased!)

smashbunny · 09-15-2011, 04:53 AM

David has given me permission to enable signatures, enjoy.

However, images are disabled and there is a limit of 200 characters.

Forum rules still apply to signatures. You are allowed to advertise your website/channel/page in your signature as long as it is appropriate.

Starless · 09-15-2011, 04:57 AM

I love you forever for this.

Wohoo.
Now the dilemma of what to put...

ZeroChrome · 09-15-2011, 02:47 PM

yay... ................................

drwill439 · 09-15-2011, 04:39 PM

It is much appreciated.

Jenni79 · 09-15-2011, 04:47 PM

This is great news! Thank you guys SO much!

The Dark One · 09-15-2011, 05:36 PM

Yay got to get my post count to 50 though LOL

Xeuman · 09-15-2011, 08:04 PM

I don't need signatures.

I'm so ungrateful...

09-15-2011, 08:43 PM

CUD wants images in sigs.

I do too, but I don't think David is up for it. He's the one who removed signatures in the first place to decrease load times.

FalseAesop · 09-15-2011, 08:59 PM

Hrm, you need to revise your allowed length Kurtiss, I was informed the 94 character one I tried was too long. Specifically my favorite Aesop moral.

By endeavoring to please everyone, he had pleased no one and lost his ass in the bargain-Aesop

I'm not sure why that is, but I've increased the character limit to 200, and increased the maximum lines to 2.

FalseAesop · 09-15-2011, 09:14 PM

Seems to have worked. Thank you.

DextriuX · 09-15-2011, 09:21 PM

200 limit?

Kurtiss delivers.

smashbunny · 09-15-2011, 10:54 PM

Ooo, I like your signature.

diceking · 09-16-2011, 12:57 AM

Finally! Thanks so much, Kurtiss.

Non-Specific Action Figure · 09-16-2011, 01:55 AM

As mentioned time and time again, signatures with images can put stress on the server, therefore hindering loading speed. Be happy they're returning at all.

I quite like the clean look of the forums. Sigs with excessively large images that consume most of the post aren't very appealing.

Define excessively large images.

Abcdude · 09-16-2011, 05:54 AM

Then, how about a size limit on signature pics?

If you'd really like a literal specification, I'd consider anything beyond 190 pixels in height to be excessive. If images are re-enabled and kept somewhere below that ratio, I'm sure I'll be able to stand them.

Exactly. If we just keep the sigs small, then we have a deal, right?

We would, assuming even the smallest of pictures wouldn't burden the server in some way. I'm pretty certain pics, videos, and other embeds take bandwidth to display.

This is really David and Kurt's area.

Jenni79 · 09-16-2011, 08:23 AM

Small pics would be nice, but I'm extremely happy with what they have given us now. And the character length and line increase is very helpful. Thanks for making it happen!

09-16-2011, 09:02 AM

I'm glad pictures are disabled, actually. I think Buramu said it in another thread, but nothing's more annoying than having oversized anime pictures polluting a forum. This annoys me about any forum that allows signatures. It distracts you from the post itself.

Well people have already suggested a size limit so i don't see any problem.

If it's small and hardly noticeable, then I guess it won't be too much of an issue. But I personally don't like image signatures no matter how big or small they are. I tend to avoid forums because of them. This one in particular is neat and clean, and I like it that way.

09-16-2011, 09:40 AM

I'd hate to see you leave over something so trivial, i think i have seen some forums have the option of not making signatures visible so if they bother you that much you could disable them. Then everyone's happy.

Lumy · 09-16-2011, 09:41 AM

User CP > Edit Options > Disable Signatures

Keeps things nice and tidy. Though it also means text signatures will also be disabled. Ideally, there'd be an option to disable image tags in signatures so as to maintain text signatures as well. Or something to that effect.

Oh, I won't leave this particular forum over that.

There are far too many people here I enjoy talking to. Lots of friends I've made as well. I would just deal with the signatures if they ever happened. There's no need to accommodate just for me, heh.

Shiransui · 09-16-2011, 12:26 PM

what with the signatures now.

'Don't see a problem with image signatures so long as there's a limit.
Everyone here's rich enough to/have their parent buy a 3DS, so they should not be on dial-up in 2011.
300x100 35kB would be reasonable.

drwill439 · 09-16-2011, 03:40 PM

^Actually, some of us are on a budget, which is why i dont have one. But i get what you mean. My internet is better than ever.

PokeCanada · 09-16-2011, 04:02 PM

Cool....

3DS Strider · 09-16-2011, 11:17 PM

Can someone tell me how to create a signature?
or how to change my avatar for that matter?

EDIT:Never mind, figured out.

Text signatures are cool, but please - for the love of all that's holy - DO NOT ALLOW IMAGE FOOTERS.

I beg you! This place will perish in a perfect storm of weeaboo madness if you do.

09-17-2011, 09:31 AM

They're just pictures Buramu, they're not going to hurt you.

☆Peanut · 09-17-2011, 09:59 AM

I'm glad they're back, but signatures just aren't signatures without images. I really do wish we could have image signatures, but there are certain people out there who will abuse it with over-sized images that clutter up threads.

I can't see a problem with signatures having a size limitation, like, no bigger than this:

09-17-2011, 10:02 AM

Maybe a little bigger than that Doopliss, i think a height of 100-150 pixels would be good.

Andwatfool · 09-18-2011, 07:44 AM

Im glad i centerd my sig b4 it was 2 l8 lol

ZouX · 09-19-2011, 02:39 AM

Oh good. I just joined, and put a banner I made into my signature. But now I just read this, so I removed it. :P Hopefully it comes back. I'd like to use some of my artwork in my signature, and not just my avatar.

Link your sig to some of you're artwork.

Most of the time when I'm making a sig, I use a 350x150. So hopefully it's a decent size.

Cody1992 · 09-19-2011, 03:03 AM

Do something like:

Check out what I do!

Or possibly something less vain.

o.o Well that's a downfall for me than.. But I'll still stay on here. :| I really love graphics and other types of artwork. Though it's sad I can't use them in my signature.
