Works great except one problem. I've set each usergroup to use no more than 4 lines. If I try to enter any more than 2 lines, it tells me "You may not use more than 4 lines in your signature." And yes, I know blank lines count as a line, so I made sure there were no blank lines. Literally, if I do this:
firstline
secondline
thirdline
it gives me the message that i cannot have more than 4 lines (and those blank lines in this example are only there for readability here, but don't exist in the actual sig).

So, does no one have any advice for me on this?

[Andreas]

Which was the exact text that was falsely reported as being more than 4 lines?

[dazzlin]

Anything I try over 2 lines does it. But here's an example one below (If i take out the third line of Join us today!, it works fine:
You'll never shine if you don't glow

So I see. I've attached a screenshot of the error message I get with that same signature.

[Andreas]

That is WYSIWYG. Switch to Standard and make sure you really do not have more than 4 lines.
(Especially IE seems to add <br /> every now and then)

[dazzlin]

Yep, that was it! I imagine a lot of users might face the same problem, but at least now I'll know how to answer the question. Thanks.

does this work with img tags already used? say if i limit the imgs allowed to 3, users has 6 in there..will it alter his sig

[Skittles]

I have installed this hack, but it isn't working correctly.

My limits are set to 400w x 100h, 30kb, 1 image only.

If I try and link to a signature that is too wide or too tall, the script rejects the signature. If I try and link to more than one image, the script rejects the signature.

However it is not imposing the filesize restrictions properly. At the moment I am linking to a 130kb BMP file as my signature and the script accepts this.

However, if I link to the same large image twice, it will say that the combined size of the images is too large.

I am running the plugin on vb3.5.3 and my forum is at forum.generationnetwork.co.uk
Any ideas why it's not working?

Is there an option to apply it it to certain usergroups?
