Perfect, thank you very much for the clear and concise requirementsCharles L. Cotton wrote:As noted several times, we've had numerous requests to to make some changes to help those who read the Forum on mobile devices. These changes included smaller photos in signature lines, as well as a limit on the number of lines in a signature line. Most people have complied with the signature line rule and we appreciate your efforts. However, a number of Members are still using signatures that exceed the 4 line limit. A few have simply used a very long sentence that wraps to multiple lines.
For several months, we have requested that Members comply with the signature line rule, but because of the time/effort required to enforce the rule, we've relied primarily on voluntary compliance. We've had complaints from Members about the perceived lack of uniform enforcement and these complaints have some merit. Still other Members have complained that the lack of compliance is still creating problems when they read the Forum using a mobile device.
To deal with these issues, we will begin active enforcement of the 4-line limit. Due to differences in screen resolution, we are also limiting lines to 80 characters and blank lines will be counted. As previously mentioned, it takes a fair amount of time and effort for us to access a Member's profile and delete everything over 4 lines. If we are forced to do this, we are just going to delete the entire signature line. This may irritate some folks but look at it this way. A Member only has to do this once, but we have to do it many dozens of times. Please take care of this issue yourself and help your fellow Members who read the Forum using mobile devices.
Thanks,
Chas.
