Siggy Size

Well I've noticed that the siggy size has changed... I went to make my Rutine TOM change, and it wouldnt let me save even my old on cuz it was too big... Any way the size can change again? Or can i donate like 15 bucks to get a larger siggy post size???


Anyone know?

Mike

We seem to be getting back to the "My sig line is a 1/2 page long" situation again.
It wouldn't be so bad, but some folks will post a one line answer, then you have to scroll 1/2 way down the page, of unrelated to the poster's truck "stuff", to see the next reply.

yes, but my siggy isnt all that long, its the hidden html that kills me...is there a way to increse just the html length? And seeing as you can chose to shwo you siggy, most may have the self control to hit the button...

I'm hoping Jack will reinstate the "Sig only shows on the first post on a page" rule again.
Either that or give me a way to make the default "Sig not shown".

I plan on doing that. To be honest, I kind of forgot about it after the upgrade because of so many other things but maybe this week would be a good time to work on it

and i agree with shovelhead on his first post. The half-a-page sig is getting out of hand and quite annoying. It also helped alot when they decreased the size limit

Its easier to read when its just plain and simple-a few lines long.

Go to Starbucks and perform in a poem reading then. Just kidding.

There are no plans to incease the sig size. It was reduced for this very purpose. It's too late now that you've changed it.

That was just funny Jack!

Mike, they seem to be picking on you... Get with Geico about joining his revolution... Then you can have as long a sig as you want.

I personally like the short sigs.

Another alternative (although it uses some letter count for the "Code") is to reduce the font of your sig.

It would reduce
This:
Texas ambassador to the United States

MY Truck:
'87 Dodge D-150 318/904
Play Truck:
'78 Dodge M880 (Military W200) 318/727/NP203 D44/D60

Honor the Texas Flag;
I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas,
one and indivisible

To this:
