Want a bigger signature on forums? Read this!

[shubla]

So you know those stupid height (and width?) limits that devs have imposed to forum signatures from their ivory tower?
There exists an easy way to circumvent them!

First upload some small image to some server and put it as your signature, then, just change the image on the server, and you can have ANY signature that you want!

As a proof of concept, I have made my own signature width 1 pixel over the limits. (257 pixels wide)

And as soon as someone abuses this, a dev will invariably nuke that person's ability to post a signature, and disable the ability to put images in the sig.

Keep it within reason. People browse the forums on mobile devices as much as on a standard computer. Nobody wants to see an oversized image any more than anyone wants to see a wall of text quoted for a two word reply.

If we all increase our signature image heights and lengths slowly, 1 pixel a week, they will never notice anything!

Seems perfect moment to try out some related forum-profile setting.



I'm ready ... Go for it.
