signature size
im making a proposal the the standard signature size be 375 X 150
this size gives enough room for creativity while at the same time making it so the signature isnt so big 1 post makes over half that page
Re: signature size
However, 375x150 is a little small, and that doesn't always float some people's (including my) boat. In my opinion, 500x300 is perfect. I've seen a 500x300 limit on plenty of forums, and it works fine. (It doesn't stretch the board, yet there's a good bit of room for whatever you want to put.)
Just my two cents.

Re: signature size
300 pixels is nearly a third of my screen (1680 x 1050) for something completely irrelevant. 2 or 3 one liner posts is all that will fit on a page due to signature blocks.
Sorry to be a grouch about it, but forums are meant to be for communication, not for people to show off their artwork (outside threads dedicated to such things, of course).
A forum option that allowed readers to disable display of signatures would be the best thing, but as I don't believe the underlying forum software supports that, a more drastic height limit that also accounts for text lines in addition to images would be wonderful.

Size rules are a bit too strict too, but I can understand the reason why.

Re: signature size
These is an option to turn off the display of signatures. Go to the User Control Panel (link is currently in the upper right), then choose Board Preferences and under that Edit Display Options.
You can turn off the display of a number of things here, including signatures, avatars, smilies, and pictures within posts. (That last option displays image links in the post instead of the full image.)
I'll make a sticky about this so people wandering in later can find it. And thank you for bringing up the topic, Nimizar. (Also, good to see you here.)

Re: signature size
Seriously tough, with just 200k more I could make my sigs incredibly less grainy, and smoothen out the animations.
