James, those are the original and Soopergrape.

^ Yeah, looks like it.

I think it's cool that my fanfic was showing up. :D

I think there should be an option to unthank (It's not a real word, I know.) posts, so that you can remove your thing if you accidentally thank something really inappropriate.

I don't feel that the signature restrictions are necessary. I usually just skip past them.

On the other hand, I never access the site from a mobile so it could be more annoying there I suppose.

If we have signature image restrictions, I don't see what's wrong with having font size restrictions or restrictions on the number of lines. It can overload the page just as much as large images, albeit in a more subtle way. And if it saves nothing else, it'll eventually save a lifetime in the time spent scrolling pages.

7 seems too short. . . . . . What about 10? Why did y'all pick 7?

I'm able to thank and unthank posts now, but does anyone else get logged out when they try to do it? When I tried to unthank a post I had to log back in, find the post, and then I could unthank it. Same when I wanted to thank it again.

When I put this little ghosty dude in my sig, I set him to size 30 font, the largest allowed in signatures. It seems fair to me. I don't get the complaints about things always needing to be bigger.

I looked through a bunch of people's signatures and the ones that looked the best to me fit within that range. It seemed like a nice, sensible length, leaving room for expression without being overpowering.

If the trouble is that part of that space is taken up by your Season Nameday badges, perhaps we can find an alternative way of displaying them that doesn't interfere with your signature space.

Perhaps a second box for signature "images", just for images. It'd have its own size limit.

As of now, I can't change my signature since I have those two pictures. All I would have to do is edit out one line anyways.

EDIT: I also can't change my profile pic because of this.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

When I changed my profile pic it just comes up blank no matter what image I use.

I softened up the hard-coded signature limit, for the purpose of letting those with badges use those. The 7 text line thing still applies, though, and if you put in a really long thing with lots of text, expect the signature police to drop by sooner or later. ;)

@rachel25: As far as your avatar goes, I can't load it at all from that site address; I get an error message when I try -- maybe it's broken?

@James Gryphon :
You know what would be cool? To have an About Me section show up when someone clicks on our profile.
It would be able to be typed in by that account's owner (or they could leave it blank, etc.)
