Thank you.. I definitely need this one.

Installed!

sounds like one of those hacks that vb should have as default. nice work.

I'm glad you all like it, thanks for the positive feedback.

Please click the install button if you used the hack though.

nice mate this is a great hack because members use a big images which will make the site much slower and mostly the sections that they reply on it so this hack will limit it ;) thanks (Installed)

This hack will not adjust those sig images already set by members prior to installing?

Thanks

Wow I have been waiting for this. Thanks! :)

Question/Clarification: Is the size restriction set for the total signature area, not just one image? For example, typical signatures on my board would consist of one larger image along with 5 to 8 smaller images. How would this hack work with multiple images? And this is not for the default vB "Signature Picture" option, correct?

This is for individual external images, there is options for amount of images according to usergroups and plenty of options to limit uploaded signature size.

There is other hacks to limit the total size and lines of signature though, I remember seeing one made by Scr although I don't recall if it worked correctly.

Thanks for the response StrifeX. I did see another hack and while it does work, it unfortunately only works when restricting height so I was hoping this one would do the trick. :)

This one certainly does what you want, you're welcome and good luck bro. :)

does it work for user group base?

each user group have diff. size limit?

Definitely! I've suggested it to them for the past 2 versions now...and they said that they are working on it...

This would be a great feature!! Hope to see it in the near future if it is at all possible.

No, the installation instructions state what you have to do and it only applies it to every member.

I'll attempt to setup usergroup specification in the future, thanks for the suggestion. :)

Good question, what about members who already exceeded this size before installing this hack? Is there a piop-up message to those users stating they now have a sig that is over the sig limit?

BTW...what is Maximum Lines in Signature? I have users that add 2-4 pics that are left to right & it streches my forum and makes threads look terrible, how can I prevent this?

You can add an overflow xhtml code into the postbit or postbit_legacy template to make it scroll when the image is too big. If you can't do this by yourself, just tell me, i will be happy to provide you with the code.

hmm I thought this would affect users that already have sigs. This is upsetting. I wonder what the best way would be to nag them to update it, as I really dont want to manually edit all of my members.

Installed ;)

I believe there is an options somewhere to update tables so this hack will work for already entered signatures.

Click install if you use people!

I used the Empty Signature Cache option in Update Counters, seems to have done the trick :)

*installed*

Awesome, thank you :)

Super. Thnx

I'll just add that in the notes so that anyone that wants to do the same thing will know how.

Now tháts sweetness!
Clicked install.

No you didn't Eagle Creek, you're all welcome...

does this work on 3.5.4

or is there a version or similar hack for 3.5.4?

I have installed this mod and emptied the signature cache, but oversized images are still viewable.

Is there something I am missing.???

Works a treat thanks! :)

Any ideas.????

I seem to be having trouble with the oversized signatures as well.

same here...cleared out the cache but oversized images are still viewable....

I'm running Version 3.6.4

if this had custom sizes for each usergroup as previously mentioned, but also able to control the total bytes size of the picture, it will be perfect for my needs

thank you

Well...I uninstalled this and reinstalled it, clearing the cache but no luck.

Any news on why this isn't working? could other mods or general settings be a problem?

Running Version 3.6.4

FYI, does not work.
