The new rules might only apply to changes from here forward. Could you test it out for me and let me know what you notice, Dave? I know you enjoy pushing the signature limits, so I figure testing might be right in your wheelhouse.
Something is broken; I tried using a different image and got this when I clicked Preview: It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct.
I bailed out, went back to the sig editor, hit preview on my current sig photo, and it gave me the same error. I created a 10x10 pixel test image and inserted the link; same-o.
I turned on image size limits for signatures. Clearly it doesn't quite work. That's disappointing. I guess I've got no other choice except to disable IMG tags entirely. Shucks.
Just teasing. It just took me a little bit to get back in there and revert the changes. I'd like to disallow img tags in sigs as I've stated before. I don't see the point, but others seem to like using them.
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, how can you possibly care that much about a damn signature that virtually everyone scrolls past anyway? I see you've even thrown in the excerpt from a novel I mentioned before.

Oh, you mentioned it once before? I guess I should change the attribution then...

OK, so it isn't your novel, but you get the idea.
And if it happens, Beamters (and/or other responsible members of the forum) kindly remind them to tidy it up, just like I get reminders when my images are too large.
In case you haven't read the whole thread, limiting the sig line to a few hundred characters won't stop people from creating overly tall signatures. The character limit is an arcane holdover from the dialup days, and really should just fade into memory. I'll leave it at that, but if you want to argue the point, I'll be around.
