ush:Just to be honest, I have to say that I wish there was an even smaller limit to the amount put in a signature line. This including pictures. I see HUGE pictures and laundry lists and multiple tickers, etc etc. I see a person post a "ITA" then have to scroll through half a page to get to the next post and read it. It's just my own pet peeve. Just thought I would vent.
Pursegrrl, I am talking about multiple tickers. Congrats to you for your new job btw! 
I am all for having goals, but having multiple ones for a signature line for every future shopping experience (6 months from now) is a bit much, kwim?

It is probably not necessary to state that We the Far from Humble Dial-Up Peasantry love sigs!
We are especially partial to small, compact sigs, with thumbnail images that we can click to when we want to see a larger version...

Frankie, I'm pretty sure yours keeps getting edited because your's exceeds the size Vlad shows an example of

Ahh.. in width, do you mean? I've been so confused, I thought width would hardly be an issue since it's only as wide as the thread page anyway, and the text isn't larger than 'normal' size, just red. I just didn't expect a line of text to be considered bad when when whilst using this forum I'm scrolling past people's signatures that take up half a page in height! :blink: How could just being wider than that enormous box above be bad when it's not as awkward to look at as something high that actually impairs viewing the forums?
When I got the first warning I took part of it away anyway, thinking that overall it must have been too high at two lines plus my blog graphic (itself two lines high but as wide as that black box), it suddenly dawned on me (above, lol) that maybe it's my blog link that's the problem. I never even considered this before because it's just a daft blog I only post in monthly anyway, but since it is mostly about (my) bags and shopping I figured maybe that's the problem seeing as my signature didn't seem BIG to me at all!
Anyway, I'm at work now and can't view my sig properly at the mo as work block images and show the text funny, so I'll see about mucking around with it once I get home again later.

it's about twice as wide as the box Vlad shows.
That's why I suggested inserting some enter keys to make it break up more.
KWIM?
Honestly, I think consistency is the key.
Vlad gave a box so people can make sure their's fits. If it doesn't it can get removed. It's easier to be consistent than remembering who can do what and why.
