Re: Size Down Those Signatures!
There are many ways using existing HTML and CSS to limit a signature to a certain size, but there are very few ways to limit it down to a certain maximum size. DIV elements, IFRAMEs, and others can be used to give a signature, say, a 200 pixel height, but then every single signature on the forum would become that height. I do not think lengthening current signatures is desired.
As an amendment to my original suggestion, I would recommend that instead of setting the max-height as a pixel count, use an equivalent em count. That makes the page more accessible to those who set their base text size to something larger than normal. Since most browser's default font size is 16 pixels, that would make 200px equal to 12.5em.
For those that do not know the details of CSS measurements, an em is a unit of length that is based on the text size. This way, if a user increases their base text size to something larger, say they cannot read small print, the dimension will grow accordingly. This way, lines of text that previously fit in a 200px limit do not suddenly dissapear.
Anyways, that is my recommendation.
