Is there a way to make them .. smaller? Some of the newer ones being posted are an assault to the sense.. some are larger than 3 paragraphs put together..

LOL like Rider's Yeah my scroll wheel would love a limit on that. Actually, how about we raise the limit on Avatars, and decrease the maximum for sigs.

There's no option for that. It is what it is, at least as far as I can tell.

There's no option, but some forums put restrictions on sig sizes. I don't think they're TOO big, but they're getting there.

It doesn't matter since people are nice enough to lower the size of the sigs.

Yeah the only real way to do it is just to ask nicely, its not enforacble unless someone manually went in and changed everyone's, and that would be a pain, and no way to keep them from doing it again.

You know... I was going to make a topic about this because of Philip's giant sig... but I can tell it's already been done...

From all the forums I've ever been a part of, a general unspoken rule (beyond any documented rules on certain forums), was that forum signatures shouldn't be any larger than say 400 or 500 pixels wide, and 100 or 200 pixels in height. Personally, I think that 400/500x100/200 is reasonable, as it's never really been a problem and people still get a relatively good amount of customization in terms of usable space. As sheep said though, there's no option (at least on proboards) to enforce it. Just gotta ask nicely. You know... I was going to make a topic about this because of Philip's giant sig... but I can tell it's already been done... I have sent him a PM regarding his signature's size.

Add this code to the global header or footer to automatically resize any signature image that is greater than 720 pixels wide or 150 pixels tall. It even keeps the aspect ratio intact (from what I could tell, anyway).
You can adjust these values, but 720 is about the maximum on this forum before we'd have to scroll, so I would leave that alone. 150 tall is just a number I came up with because I feel that I shouldn't have to roll my mouse wheel more than once or twice to get past a signature. In my opinion, 720x150 is a nice, large signature that doesn't LOOK large, offers plenty of space and, best of all, isn't annoying.
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /* Modify image size to fit forum By Todge Please keep this header intact */
var picWidth = '768'; //Maximum posted image width.. var picHeight = '576'; //Maximum posted image height..
var sigPicWidth = '720'; //Maximum signature image width.. var sigPicHeight = '150'; //Maximum signature image height..
var posts = document.getElementsByTagName('font'); for(p=0; p<posts.length; p++) { if(posts[p].innerHTML.match('google_ad_section_start')) { var imgs = posts[p].getElementsByTagName('img'); for(i=0; i<imgs.length; i++) { if(imgs[i].alt.match(/\[image\]/)) { imgs[i].alt = '[postedImage]'; }}}}
var pics = document.images;
window.onload = imageSize; function imageSize() { var p=pics.length-1; while(p>-1) { if(pics[p].alt=='[image] ') { if(pics[p].width>sigPicWidth || pics[p].height>sigPicHeight) { if(pics[p].width/sigPicWidth > pics[p].height/sigPicHeight) { pics[p].width = sigPicWidth; } else { pics[p].height = sigPicHeight; }}}
if(pics[p].alt=='[postedImage]') { if(pics[p].width>picWidth || pics[p].height>picHeight) { if(pics[p].width/picWidth > pics[p].height/picHeight) { pics[p].width = picWidth; } else { pics[p].height = picHeight; }}} p--; }} // --> </script>

The only real problem with that code is that it will also affect individual posts (ie: picture threads).

Normal images and images in signatures are treated separately, so it shouldn't be a problem. The default 200x200 limit would have to be changed, but other than that there's no issue. I've already edited the code above to include a non-signature picture limit of 768x576. This is a decent sized picture that will fit comfortably in this forum, and you can always right click the picture and select "view image" (or whatever your particular browser says) to view the picture full-size. Better?

Once it's added, JP's signature should become smaller. That's how I'm checking to see if it's been implemented or not.

It apparently doesn't work when placed in the global header. Move it to the footer and it should be fine. Sorry for not testing that earlier.

It still doesn't work for me, but you pasted everything in correctly. This is annoying.
I'll look into things more when I wake up. In the mean time, is it working for anyone?

philip's signature has shrinked, Oti. Philip kindly modified his signature's size after asking him.
