Dunno why it doesn't work, but I personally dislike animated sigs, unless they are nice and simple like the ones Vertago was using, with the backgrounds being animated instead of the characters.

Anyway, I really appreciate this new rule. I sometimes had a bit of difficulty keeping within the height limit before, so this'll make things easier. I never make my sigs 600px wide (no more than 500px, typically), so width restrictions don't matter to me.

Most forums with signature limits make them much smaller (e.g. 500x100), so we really shouldn't be complaining. I've also been on one forum that had no limit, and people would put their latest photo/art piece or other large images in their signatures for no reason whatsoever. It was very ugly, very annoying (some signatures didn't even fit in my browser's viewing area!), and took way too long to load. I no longer visit that forum, either, because not just the signature rules were lax. -_-

I mean, it's called a "signature" not an "art gallery" right? :P

Hah, yeah. Some people can't tell the difference though. I've been likened to Hitler on one forum I moderate for enforcing some (fairly lax) signature regulations.

Giving the users the ability to express themselves a bit really livens up a forum, I think, but if people go too far it gets in the way of using the site.

Most forum systems have features that allow signatures to be hidden entirely or parts there-of, for example just hiding the images, or automatically putting them in all spoiler tags. I thought MAL also had this feature but I cannot seem to be able to find it in the control panel anywhere. Oh well, suggestion time! ^_^

Actually Zarin, we have something similiar which is surfing in work mode. It hides all avatars and signatures.
