So how many lines ARE allowed in a sig?
I've seen them getting bigger and bigger, and now there's someone who's up to 11! I have many more points to add to my gay agenda, but 3 seems like it's enough, but the sigs are getting out of hand, IMHO.

If you aren't kidding about someone having 11 lines, let us know who it is.

*cartman fondly remembers poking fun at linking DVD lists in sigs by placing his entire DVD list in his sig for posting in 1 thread, then forgetting it was there and getting an email from Geoff that JH had complained about my sig length*

I thought it was four
Signature lengths greater than five (5) lines. As a courtesy to fellow users utilizing low screen resolutions and/or slow Internet connection speeds, those users who append signatures to their forum posts must keep the total length of their signature to a length of five lines or less.

I find it odd that someone with 7 lines is posting in this thread
and for the record, long sigs don't bother me and I'm on dialup. I always have multiple windows open so if one takes longer to load I have other stuff to read

Politely I suggest you should consider a higher resolution on your computer. It's 4 lines long on mine.

hmm, I'm using 1024x768 on my monitor
and to clarify, the length of anyone's sig does not matter to me, I jsut thought it was kind of an odd thing to see in a thread about sig length

The 5 lines is at 1024x768, using regular size text, and no other features using up the browser window like a favorites listing or search window.

only thing I have is the normal address bar, file menu and back button bar on my IE. no other special features. I'm at work now so I can't check text size
wow, didn't realize what was intended as an innocent odd observation would stir up so much debate
