I'm wondering if there's a way to limit the size of pictures that are allowed in member signatures. I've found this, but I use phpBB2, so I'm not sure if the site will work for me.

Also, is there a way to automatically resize signature images down to the maximum size allowed?

And since I know absolutely nothing about javascript or HTML, please tell me where to put the code, if there is one?

Thanks in advance!

Code:

signature_div img {
 max-width: SIZEpx; max-height: SIZEpx;
 }

Change "SIZE" and "SIZE" with the size in pixels . add it to

CSS style sheet .

Thank you so much for your quick reply!

I've put this into the style sheet, but signatures are still larger than the max I've set. Does this only work for signature images put in the future, or should it work for all signatures that already exist?

It should work for all signatures

Hm. The signatures haven't shrunk, and although they're not considered huge, they're still larger than the specified pixels.

The specified width of the signatures are within bounds (less than 500px), but the height is 100px over what it should be per the code.

The reason this isn't working for you is because the CSS given above is incorrect. Since you stated 500x100, the correct CSS is:

Code:

.signature_div img {max-width:500px;max-height:100px;}

However, this still won't stop people from flooding their signatures with multiple images. I've found the best way to limit the sizes of signatures is with the following CSS:

Code:

.signature_div {max-width:90%;max-height:150px;overflow:auto;}

This will allow a member to put whatever they want into their signature, but if they put too much, scrollbars will appear. Not only does this keep a board looking clean, it's a subtle hint to people abusing signatures to change their signature to something that fits within your proscribed boundaries.

dion, this works perfectly, and I love the scroll bar!

Nera, thanks so much for your help!

Both of you absolutely rock!
