Signatures changes

Hey i just saw that the signatures has too low limits
Only 8 lines? 1000 characters + BB-codes? 500 characters without BB-codes?
This is crazy
Can you please make the signatures limit biggers?
How about 10 to 20 lines(it is still a limit and most users will not use them all)
And 5000 characters + BB-codes(it is still a limit too, and a... stupid limit )
And 2500 characters without BB-codes?
I think this would be better so users may add more information to their signatures.

I made a voting pool for this

Edit : AirHead came with a new idea... Small signatures(4 lines limit) for comments!(for example in social groups, that small messages. To have a small signature for comments)...

hmmm.... here a 300 characters limit without BB-codes
and 600 character limits with BB-codes, and all tags(excepting HTML of course) allowed.

/!\ These are the ideas /!\
/!\ Please agree or do not agree /!\
/!\ Vote /!\
/!\ If you do not care about this subject vote for not care instead of voting to disagree /!\

Who needs 5000 characters in his signature?

(me...) probably others but they mustn't use all 5000 if they don't need
Edit : 5000 to be the maximum + BB-codes!

People shouldn't have a longer signature than the average length of the messages they post. Since most people here don't post anything useful and just spam "lol" messages, signatures shouldn't be any longer than the actual message

Yeah, massive signatures take up way too much space when you have to scroll through the damned things to get to the next post.

It used to be like this when users like AlotofGarbage were around posting spam messages with 50 foot long signatures.

id have to agree with him, except maybe not on the line size, it could be a little bigger, but not much. anything in a HIDDEN tag shouldnt count twards your signatures line size, since it is hidden by default ^.^ any you wouldnt have to see it unless you choose to

My signature has a maximum of 7 characters.

Go figure.

I decided to end this pool in 1 week. Next sunday at 20:00 for me!

16 lines???
That's way too much. The signature is not a novel.

right now the maximum is 8 lines
Please reveal a box in my signature and see how small they are!
I will show you here 8 lines

The 8-line limit is fine. The char limit can be a bit annoying, but that's why you can learn to use efficient vB code.

A useful tip is to use [thread] tags when linking to a post on the forum. See how this thread's url is http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f97/signatures-changes-104482? See that number at the end? That's the thread ID. Use [thread] tags like you would [url] tags.

So to link to this thread.

Before:
link
[url=http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f97/signatures-changes-104482]link[/url]

After:
link
[thread=104482]link[/thread]

Much shorter.

link...link...

Nice
And i may agree with 10 lines at least... And the character limit is realy pissing on me!
I want to add more information in my signature and i am using hidden tags
And a more intelligent idea from moderators is to put a person's WHOLE signature in a hiddden tag

I don't think signatures are needed at all. But, if you make that large sigs, I'm sure a lot of people will spam them.

I have had signatures turned off for 2 years now.


Bunch of space-wasting adverts.

I voted no, because most people will add large stuffs on their signatures that will waste other people's bandwith.

I would show a good example of a site that uses huge signatures, but unfortunately, that site is down.
