To further help people using these devices, we are going to set a 4 line limit on all signatures, effective October 1st. Some signatures take up 2 inches or more on my large screen, so they pose a real problem for mobile devices.

Please make sure your signature meets this requirement by October 1st.

Thanks,
Chas.

Did this ever go into effect? It's November 12th and I still see a lot of long signatures.

That's a good point we didn't discuss. I'll bring it up with the Moderators.

Thanks,
Chas.

The easy option is to keep it at 300 with a maximum of 3 carriage returns = 4 lines. That avoids the argument over line wrap for quotes being different for horizontal and vertical phone orientation, font size, etc.

Four lines with a character limit per line is what we'll likely adopt. That keeps the presentation better on an iPhone rotated 90 degrees.

Will the change preclude images in the signature?
