signature size limit
#1
Didn't their use to be a signature size limit? I've noticed people's signatures are getting progressively larger...
When your signature takes up the majority of the space on a 1080p screen it's probably too big:

This is a forum, not a photo gallery, and pages don't need to be miles long because of massive signatures.

I normally keep signatures I create for people 500x500 to 700x700 maximum.
Kind Regards,

Even that is a little too big. I think it's fine that the base signature size is that (mine is about that size but I resized it) but they could at least scale it down to maybe 250px-300px.
It doesn't make a big difference with one post, but it does when everyone starts having large signatures.

10 posts with a 250px signature is 2,500 pixels or about 2 1/2 pages of scrolling on a standard monitor size.
10 posts with 500px signature is 5,000 pixels or about 4 2/3 pages of scrolling.
10 posts with 700px signature is 7,000 pixels or about 6 1/2 pages of scrolling.

That's just for signatures alone, no content. I would say that your signature could be smaller but I think at that size it's not a big deal.

For reference, in the screenshot I posted the signature is 480px high + 1 line of text. Combine that with all the profile data and post controls and it takes just about the entire screen for only 2 words of content.

The signature height should not be 10 times bigger than the height of the content of the post.

I think there is a maximum. But if there no limit, I think Soul should create a Maximum. I know my Picture is a little big, but I think its still "Okay". I also saw guys with a veeeeery big Picture. Like this: http://www.cafe-sellberg.de/wp-content/u...00x900.jpg

It's just a little to much on the height mate, making the pages a lot longer as Goigle said.

The limit should be re-introduced.

That is why I'm using Fearless Classic, it adds a scrollbar to signatures..

fearless light is better optimized for mobile ;)
and anyway why can't this be on fearless light, the newer & default theme?

but yeah this is what I was talking about the signature size limit, I didn't realize it is still in the classic theme
