Alteration to Signature Length

[Admin]

It has come to our attention that the current setting for size of signatures (50,000 bytes), if availed of by every member, would have a serious impact on both the board's storage capacity and the bandwidth allowance.

In order to ensure the smooth running of the site it has been decided to curtail the length of signatures to 500 characters.

This will take effect from Sunday, March 25th, 2007 so please make any edits you feel necessary before then.

The following has been added for your information:

 

Your signature total includes all the characters that make up the visible part, plus those characters that allow for formatting, ie Fonts, Size, Colour and Bold etc.

 

If you attach an external image to your signature block, the characters that link to the image count within the total, but the image itself does not.

 

The 'Check Length' function gives an accurate measure of the number you are actually using, so use that to check that you fall within the new limit.

As we have been experiencing problems with images of excessive size resulting in complaints, images contained within the signature will need to be limited to 100 pixels high by 500 wide. We ask you to review your images, and resize them to this standard or smaller. We reserve the right to resize them without notice as necessary. This will take effect October 1st, 2008, so please make any edits necessary before then.
