Yes, another signature limit hack. But with a little twist . After installing PPN's excellent Sig Editor hack, I felt the "suspended" signature option needed to have an enforcer of some sort. I know from experience that when I edited signatures in the past (mostly for being rediculously long) the user just turns around and puts the old sig back up.
I search the board and one of the old signature limits hacks has been removed by the author and others were outdated, so here we go.
This hack will limit the line breaks in the signature but also splits the image limit setting in 2, so you can have different image limits for posts and signatures. So the smilie limit in posts doesn't have to suffer if you are trying to curb signature image abuse , and I believe it has been requested here as well in the past.
Both settings can be configured in the Admin Control Panel. Don't forget to back up all the goods before installing

It is perfectly possible to count characters of course, but the problem is that this will count characters in image URLs as well. Let's say you would put a 60 character limit per line and the user has 3 smilies on that line for example, that would be the limit of that line.
It would be very unpractical to first exclude all smilies URLs from the string in order to count characters.
i installed the hack and it works great but is there a way I can update all the threads to make the Hack take control cause after installing it, i still seen alot of members with long signatures

I suggest you use PPN's sig editor hack so all your mods can reset signatures on the fly. My board is fairly busy (I have a bout 25 moderators) and in a matter of 2-3 days pretty much every signature was within the line/image limit.
Definately beats going into the admin control panel and resetting users's sig one by one.
Would there be any way to limit the signature by total height (ie in pixels)? Because if I allow, say, 4 rows, the user could still use 4 huge banners. I'd much rather be able to give them a certain amount of space that they could use whichever way they want.

Yes, and more importantly for me would be to restrict the file weights of the images. Some of these people upload img files that are 100K+ and put them into their signatures. Not good for load speed or bandwidth.
