Can I please request an option that allows you to set how many characters can be set in a users signature.

Getting people on the site with half page signatures now and its making our site look stupid.

Thanks

that's been in for a while now -- and in 7.3, it is group based.

On ubbdev I posted a hack that can also control the number of lines users can put in signatures. A feature that imho is missing from the core code.

# of lines would be better than # of characters, obviously and hopefully... wink

Not nessessarily...
This:

I do hereby decree that you are all flaiming obnoxious RETARDS!

Isn't as disruptive as:
Quote
<img src="http://www.url.xxx/path/to/pornographic.img" />

And has more characters! wink...

I disagree. Well, barring the pornographic image (my visitors actually behave in that regard, usually wink ). But I wasn't really talking about TOS violations - I was talking about height of signatures. Shorter the better, IMHO. And since CR's count as one character (I think), then that is more potentially disruptive visually in a thread than an image that a Mod or Admin could delete...
