Signature Issues

[Sharkfinger]

Trying to tweak my signature, I'm suddenly getting issues.  It's now telling me there's too many images, links, lines, etc.  When in fact I was making it less.  Can it be new rules?  Seem a bit draconian.

I've stripped it right back to this, no images, only 4 links an 9 lines.  Still have this error pop up.

What gives?

Hi, the new limits are:

1 image (468x60 max size)

2 links

3 lines of text

Thanks, will adjust accordingly.  Is this in a sticky thread anywhere?

No, it was in ‘Site Issues’ and was moved to ‘General Discussion’ for wider visibility, but has sunk down the list somewhat.

I will add it to the FAQ maybe - I was hoping that it would tell you the limits when you edit your signature but apparently not!

Yes, new measures introduced to prevent mahoosive photos being used in signatures. There is also a limit on lines and links. I can’t remember what the maximum is, but that’s probably what is causing the issue you have. There is a thread somewhere that says what the limits are.

Well, I'm all for it as there are some that take the p*ss.  I did a search for 'signature' in "Site Issues and Questions" but didn't come up with anything relevant.  Will search the wider site.

I’ll have a look for you when I get home.

It does say max dimensions of images, but that other than that is says 'too many of this and too much of that'
