Arrggghhh!! limit to Signature size?
My users will try anything! Subject lines a paragraph long - fun stuff, now how about one that's using an automatic signature that's about 20 lines long in his profile.

How can I limit this to 5 or 6 lines, thanks!

I'm not sure if you can do this, but a quick fix would be to update the sign up form/ edit user profile form templates to have a "maxlength" attribute on the input field to stop people typing in long ones.

I'm in the process of writing a plugin (my first one! Smile) that will enable you to put restrictions on the signature. Currently, you can allow/disallow emoticons, restrict length (# of chars), and restrict the number of lines it takes up. If you have any other features added, give me a shout.

Wouldn't something like this be better off being part of the official package rather then a plugin. Even though I am guessing it will be free, it sounds like something that everyone would use, and therefore be better off being built in???

Adrian,

Did you ever complete this plug in or has limiting signature length been included in GForum and I'm just not spotting it?

I finished the plugin quite a while ago and the last time I checked it worked Wink. Let me know how it goes.
