Signature Length Limit Enabled

Postby Mithrandir » Sat Jan 13, 2007 8:11 am

Hi everyone,

As I'm sure you've all noticed, users with signatures longer than 250 pixels will probably notice them scrolling now. The staff has take then list of "modifications to the CAA system" and paired it down to some doable and some not. We're still in the process, but this one seemed like it would be quick and (mostly) easy. Actually, I haven't seen a good example of this before, so was kinda guessing how it would work out.

Anyway, please report bugs/errors/etc (either via pm, the "report post" button, or simply replying to this thread).

Thanks!

at first I thought my entire signature had just been cut...XD but I am really happy to see that it's just scrolling!!
I did take a few things out to save bandwidth though.

Thanks a bunch, Mith!

Darn, I just fail the 250 pixel cutoff. Oh well, scrolling is okay I guess. Will this be a permanent of temporary fix Mith? Sorry that I PMed you, I should of seen the announcement [unless I sent it first])

^_^ Thanks Mith!

I actually don't know if it's a problem with my computer or if I'm just unobservant, because I don't see any scrolling going on with sigs, they're just shorter now. It doesn't bother me, but just thought I'd point it out.

Well, I'm glad everyone likes. Anyway, I"m not sure how long this will last, or if it will even continue in it's current state. Consider it "temporary" for now.

Teehee this feature is so good I almost want to request for a shorter pixel cutoff. XD

But I won't.

It's looking great, OldMith!

It's supposed to go "Non-gay Man-to-man way!"

Cause it rhymes, 'ya know?



Anyway Mith. I actually do have a minor complaint I would like to address. I use the scroll-wheel on my mouse when browsing through threads, and when I see people with long signatures, my screen will stop moving in order to let the signature reach the bottom. Once that happens the screen continues scrolling again.

Not big of a deal, but the random stop is relatively annoying.

I am not sure if Mith can fix that, Ryan, that's just using the computer...

maybe scroll outside of the posting area?

That's what I've started doing. I just keep my mouse over where the names and avatars are; it eliminates that problem altogether.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Those of you who know me know how hard it was for me to resist the urge to make this a 50 px solution, instead of a 200 px solution. ;)


As for the scroll wheel, the solution provided by other members is the accepted work around. Either use the "space/page down" key on the keyboard or place the cursor on the far left/right edges of the screen.

One question, now that we have signature scrolling, could we have signature images as well? :)

We're still trying to figure that one out. Since the problem is bandwidth, and since the browser will still have to download the images, the prognosis doesn't look good.

Does it still suck bandwidth if we host our own images?

I would actually recommend using an external program (e.g., Window's Notepad or Mac's Text Edit) to build the code, then paste it in. You can pretty quickly do a "select-all, copy, paste" to move data back and forth.

You're lazy, so I should do more work around here...? Is that about the size of it?
