Let's say you want to allow 500w X 150h of maximum allowable area for your users sigs. You don't care how many images they put in there or how much text... just as long as that is the MAXIMUM space it would ever take on any one post.
And obviously, if there's a smaller sig, it should only take the space needed.
So what are the settings to do this? The setting of picture size and text limits don't seem to work for users that post links to larger pictures in their sigs... or multiple pictures.
(assuming the sig below works here and you guys haven't figured it out on the base vbulletin software... look below to see what I mean)
I do. And I think this is a problem with the vBulletin setup and not something that should require a mod and work around...
A signature space should be able to be confined... that's why they have all the settings for picture sizes and whatnot... But it would seem that limiting the users to one picture of an exact size is the only way to keep the image sizes down... but they could still express themselves with larger type...
Ideally, there should be some sort of option to set signature space allowed per user group. And then "Cutoff or Add Scrollbars"...
I've seen some mods that try to put this basic feature in, but they're usually clunky and hold the space universally for all usergroups and when there is only a few words of text as someone's sig, it still shows a big empty space.
Support: Any chance there's a way in vBulletin to help confine "expressive" users from taking up too much sig space?
Sorry... I did forget about the rules. It has been a while since I signed up. I have not used a sig here.
...but it was only to show a point about your customer's forums.
Control in signatures is something you have coded into vBulletin. But I don't see why if there's no stopping even the most novice user from, really, accidentally taking up so much space.
I'll eventually find a way to do it correctly, and hopefully not bring down my forums trying. :o
Signature area size limit... with or without scrollbars when exceeded... I'll let you know if I ever see it...
thanks,
Mike
Good luck Chris... let me know if you find something that works.
