GIANTS Software - Forum

Does this forum have any rules regarding signature sizes? I've had a look but can't see anything mentioned.

The reason I ask is that there are some here with very large signatures which makes it more difficult to view the forums on mobile devices. Other forums I use have specific rules regarding the size of signature you are allowed.

There is a 400 character limit.

Please check out viewtopic.php?f=831&t=74799 for the current rules of this forum. As you can see there, there are currently no rules limiting the size of signatures. If you think such a limit is needed, please contact MadMax, he's the primary maintainer of this forum and the author of the forum rules.

Many thanks for your reply.

Plus, the other reason why I have such a large signature is in case I have a problem, it is easier for people to know what I have other than asking me all of the time. I wish there was a spot on the forum that had a "System Specs" where you can click on an arrow to expand your computer/phone/console specs. That would be awesome and a big plus for you mobile guys! You should ask MadMax about this idea. You don't have to, if you don't want to.

You could easily reduce the size of your signature if you didn't put every little detail of your setup on a single line, but put them behind each other on a single line or two similar to how I'm doing it

Oh yeah, I forgot about resizing it... I feel dumb now...

I just tried this "solution" ... (using a "spoiler") ...

This is what most forums rule is regarding the number of lines you are allowed and is a good solution.

This is also another option.

the other option for mobile users is to go to their User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit display options > then set: Display signatures: = No

you can also turn off there:
Display images within posts: Yes/No
Display Flash animations: Yes/No
Display smilies as images: Yes/No
Display avatars: Yes/No

after all "mobile devices" are really a none-standard way of viewing websites

I am already aware of the option to disable signatures but that only works when you are logged in.

Plenty of people view forums on mobile devices.

I am not one of the people that's uses a mobile device to view the forums. So I wouldn't know what it is like...
