Allow some signature overflow thingo

[Alternative]

This is merely a suggestion, take it or leave it.

People often complain about signatures being too big and stretching the page or something. If the site would allow some sort of overflow system to this, it would alleviate basically all complaints about this.

What I mean is that there's a code you put into your style, which when it exceeds the height you've specified, a scrollbar appears which makes sure nothing goes over that. So say for example you set this height to 300px. If you want a 500px image in height for your signature area would then automatically create a scrollbar which would be 300px in height which contains everything in the signature.

I feel this would be really helpful for everyone, since a lot of people complain about signatures being too tall and being completely unneccesary. I still feel that the signature rules should be in place, but this would ultimately show staff which signatures do not obide by the limit.

If you CSS whizzes want to take a look at the code, it's this.

#signaturecontainer {
max-height:100px;overflow:auto;}

Should be added in the additional CSS on the style in Main CSS if memory serves right. Someone else like Gama should be able to clarify this. Of course, the 100px can be changed to whatever height you want.

What are your thoughts on this everyone?

That's a very wise idea... i had it mind, but i never mention it. I think they should consider it.

Noeee >____< it will take more memory and people will probably post wall papers O_O... sig is just a signature expressed as ur identity/initial the simpler the better. I think the current max size is perfect for forums..

You don't understand it.

No you don't. If a signature just so happens to be too big i.e. goes over the limit which is set up using this, a scrollbar appears making sure that the size altogether for the signature doesn't go as big. It's hard to explain, but it would be beneficial to most people. If you don't want your sig interrupted by the scrollbar, then don't make it so big.

This is an example of what I mean if you want more clarification. It's on another forum and it's set at 350px.

Basically, the signature in question goes over the height limit and creates a scrollbar which allows you to scroll through the signature, rather than having it take up buttloads of space. Do you understand what I mean now?

I get what you mean, I've already seen this feature somewhere and if it's possible for this forum to have that I completely support this.

That is the correct CSS, except signaturecontainer is a class. Not an ID. Like so:

.signaturecontainer {
max-height:100px;overflow:auto;}
