Should We Allow [IMG] Tags In Signatures?

I made a user bar for my signature, and was disappointed to discover [IMG] tags are not allowed in signatures.

I think we should allow them. However, if a user clutters their signature with huge, annoying images, they should be removed.

Yeah, I was also thinking that.

We disallow the img tag in signatures in order to prevent people’s signatures from being super long, and also so that it doesn’t take pages excessively long to load.

However, you can still use the thumb tag to display small images in your signature, like I did in mine.

Thanks! I didn’t notice the thumb tag. Do you know why my user bar is appearing so tiny? Is it too long?

Yes, the Thumb tag fixes the image’s width at 100 pixels.

Oh, I guess I will have to get a thicker user bar, then.

I think it should be allowed and if it’s more than X pixels tall, the moderators could remove/warn about it.
It’s up to the staff whether they want the extra responsibility though.

But instead of removing the pic or getting a board warning for it they could not allow it

Just as long as they aren’t super long, I don’t think it would be a bad idea.
