Normally higer values would be taken. To be able to have 0=Unlimited, it must be made sure that 0 overrides all other values - this is what precedence is for.

Salve!
If the image limit is three the hack will not allow to have three pictures in the signature. The error-message always says they are too big in size or data.
Does someone have an idea? Maybe a workaround?

Can you give more specific information:
What is the exact message?
What are the exact limits set (width, height, filesize, amount)?

It will take the combined dimensions. If you have 100x150 set, than the three images combined can't go beyond that.

One of my favorite features.

I know. But it does not work anyway.

[Andreas]

OK. And which images did you try to include?

[Debianer]

Salve!
An example:

The only thing I can think of is that your hack adds the heights of the images, too?
If that is the case, how can i change it?

Stephan

[Andreas]

Hmm, I set the same limits, tried the same image - works just fine for me.

[Debianer]

Salve!
You have to place it in the same line for three times.
I calculated:
8.13 x 3 = 24.39 (kb)
90 x 3 = 270 (px width)

Stephan

[Andreas]

If they are all in the same line, yes.

But as the software can't determine how they will be displayed on the users browser, it has to take worst case into account: every image in a "new line".

That's 90 * 270, which is over the limit of 468 x 120.
