Signature Sizes?

Currently signatures are limited to 300 characters, which, in my teeny opinion, is just too short.  I honestly think that most big signatures are big because of people being irresponsible with their avatar and signature files, which really ticks me off.  I really think we should get something like 400-500 characters for signatures.  This means people could stuff more into their signature right?  Well, I'd be willing to monitor our fellow simmers' picture sizes... ;)

I too would like to have slightly more room for a signature.  I think that small images in the sig are nice (like my Oregon flag for example) but some of them are getting to be too big.  I think Pete has set a maximum size for the sig image file, but I also wish he would only let them be so many pixels-because in some cases they are simply in the way.  But I would likemore room to type in the sig, there was one more thing I wanted to add to mine but found I was about 50 characters short.  The again, in my case all I have to do is wait till the end of football season and then I'll change it.   ;D

I agree that some sig images are getting way too big. This affects loading times when several of these are in one topic. There's nothing to stop you having a reasonably sized image with text on it in your sig if you wish. That might be one way round the character limit. I think you could also link the image to a webpage if you have one.

Hey, looks like Pete has increased the allowed sig size.  Now I can bring back my Lovell quote and have the complete sig that I wanted!  Thanks Pete!

It would be a great help if someone would remind these people that the max size for sig images is 30k -

Hey Pete, if I see someone with a large sig-I'll be sure to pm you.   ;)

Cool!

Shweetness abounds!  Pete, consider me your avatar/signature detective! ;)
