I've turned off members "signatures"...

It says: This setting affects the number of new lines the user can create in a signature. A long line of text will automatically break (the point at which the text breaks depends on the width of the user's browser that is viewing the signature), and this is not affected by this setting.

So it would still be possible to have a massive signature simply by typing it as a single line in large size font...

[BigRedX]

I think part of the problem is caused by the fact that if you are viewing the forum on your phone, which I suspect a lot of users are, then signatures are never visible.

To be fair, text is not usually the problem. It is the stupidly large photos or videos some deem fit to include in their signatures.

There are some members with text only signatures that I have had to hide because they took up the whole of the screen when viewing Basschat on my laptop.

Also it appears that if you change you signature it becomes visible again to those who have hidden it, because now Bobthedog has replaced his massive photograph with 3 lines of text I can see it again.

Just turn them off!

Me too, I’m gonna have to put it back now to see what I ignored 😁

Dont bother Reg, really.  A  badly focused noisy pic.

 

[Woodinblack]

Really handy being able to hide signatures, thanks for pointing that out, never knew you could do that. 

[fleabag]

Me too.  I started out going the longest  route to hide silly sigs, till HKH pointed out a 2 click  option .    There aint arf been some clever bastids, to quote  Phil Collins

I never had a picture, it was only 5 lines of text plus a link to my feedback thread.

[TheGreek]

I would encourage everybody to put the link to their feedback in their signature.

I would also encourage people to use the link function with a single word i.e. feedback rather than copy and pasting the URL and linking that.

I just tried to delete one of my sales  ( the  Ash 1x15 ) and as soon as i  deleted the link,  i hit SAVE,  and got the message that it doesnt comply. 

Anyone know what it is i need to change  ?

 

[fleabag]

Ah, too many FOR SALE links , i believe, even though they only take up 2 lines.

[SpondonBassed]

I've gone in to edit my signature and found that it won't allow more than two links.  I already had three links there.  I saw a fellow member say he was limited to five yesterday.

• I want to keep those three links.  None of them are to do with marketing
• I want to delete a photo that is no longer relevant
• When I try to and ultimately try to Save; the system says I am not allowed - "Too many links"!!!
• I do not know what the current BC policy is on how many links are allowed by the system
• I can not edit my signature until this is resolved

Two linkzzez.

If you go up this thread it was clear that some signatures were getting beyond silly - literally into several screens of autobiography.

Basically people putting their profiles in their signature...

As with all such rules to curtail excess there has been some collateral damage...

[SpondonBassed]

I'm keeping my three links then.  The irrelevant image will have to stop where it is.
