In postbit_legacy (and postbit maybe? You didn't say which you are using) you will find these lines:
HTML Code:
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
And I think you are being directed to change them to:
HTML Code:
<!-- sig -->
<div style="width: 500; height: 120; overflow: hidden;">
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
Back up your templates first as I have no idea if that will work since I haven't tried it myself. Also, note that he was giving example dimensions (the 500 wide and 120 height). You will have to figure out what you want that set to yourself.
