Signature Limits

[Nullware]

I am not sure if the YouTube videos are 350 pixels tall or what, but in my opinion, youtube vids in sigs should not be allowed

They are within the limit and they don't load unless you click play so I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed any more.

I can understand 1200 character limit for the visible text, but I don't understand why it has to include the coding as well.

I think that it's only possible for the limit to apply to total characters and if that's so then it's just a limitation of vBulletin.

 

I agree, videos in Signatures are rather annoying. They seem to lag the page more then normal, even if you don't play 'em.

I agree with you about no YouTube videos in people's signatures. I also think the character limit should not include coding, because the code is not visible. It should be text only.

It's no different than people who put good quality images in their signature that are hosted with shoddy hosts. You don't play the video and it's not pre-loading.

I also think the character limit should not include coding, because the code is not visible. It should be text only.

1) I'm quite sure that it's a limitation of vB that the signature character limit can't be calculated without the code.
2) If this wasn't the case it would be easy to abuse with signatures spanning thousands of lines of code just to put more of a load on the server. The only reasonable solution is increasing the entire character limit and I don't think they will feel that's necessary.
