    Angry Signature Size?

    I came back for a visit to here after being gone for a few months, and upon going to change 10.4.6 in my signature to 10.4.9, I get a lovely message telling me the signature cannot be longer than 5 lines?

    What gives?

    Scott may have put a limit on this. Some people used lengthly signatures.

    I'd limit it to 2 or 3 lines, personally.
    Edit: I'd limit it to 4 lines, personally.

    So in other words, if you have more than 5 lines, leave it! So you don't have to make it smaller!

    We always had a suggested limit of no more than 5 normal sized lines in the past (about 6 small sized lines). Usually a Mod would PM the person who had a longer signature and request it be shortened. Seems now there's a way to enforce that through the VB software running the site.

    Lately there's been an increasing number of members who had way too long of signatures.
