Title: A suggestion
Post by: Groddil on September 01, 2016, 11:29:42 PM
Could we maybe have the character limit on signatures increased? With the new awards, even though they aren't big images, they still take up a lot of characters because of the tags and such. Same with urls. Even with a small display name, you still have to write a large url. For instance, here's my example signature:

Quote(http://www.loamhedgeabbey.com/Badges/springseasonfull.jpg)(http://www.loamhedgeabbey.com/Badges/rosehipaward.jpg)

We Happy Few (http://www.loamhedgeabbey.com/index.php/topic,338.30.html)
Rise of Hellgates (http://www.loamhedgeabbey.com/index.php/topic,146.30.html)

Problem is, even though it doesn't seem that large, there's not enough room for the second image. (ignore the fact that one image is still in code, I'll address that below)

So yeah, could we maybe increase the signiture character limit?

P.S. How do you get the season namer awards to be small, anyway? When I paste them in like above, they show up as the enlarged version. Other awards don't have the same problem.

It would be nice to have the limit extended. :)

That is a problem, and I'll see how we can improve this. In the mean time here are a few tips and tricks. To set the size you write the code like this: [img width=50 height=50]http://www.loamhedgeabbey.com/Badges/springseasonfull.jpg[/img]

If you have multiple badges you (or I) can combine them into one file, like I did with mine:

[img width=166 height=50]https://leathoshellhound.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/signature-banner2.png[/img]

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions, and hopefully we can find an easier way of doing this.

Cheers, Leatho. Only problem is that setting the width and height just means that your signature gets smaller still.  :-\

@James Gryphon: Thoughts?

I buffed it up to 400 500 characters; let me know what y'all think.
